SELMA

Selma, July Special )-With the the lowlands of Dallas county, farmers now are turning their attention to pre- pairing for fall crops, and indications are that the production of hay, sorghum and cowpeas will be heavier this year than ever before. County Demonstrator John Blake is in receipt of advices from the department of agriculture that part of the $10.000 appropriation voted by the Senate will be used in sending seed 70 this section. Late estimates indicate that the cotton crop in Dallas county has been reduced fully 25 per cent by the rains of last week, but, it is pointed out, the farmers probably will receive a better price for their staple.
 Funeral services were conducted today for Mrs. Ida Rosenber who died Sunday night on train between Montgomery and Atlanta. The funeral was largely attended, and the pallbearers were se- lected from the leading citizens of Selma. Mrs. Rodenberg was S3 years old and had been leader in local and state philanthropic work.
 The Chamber of Commerce's committee in charge of collecting funds for the Sel- ma Packing plant, has been delayed al- most a week by the storm and high water, but announces that it is ready to take the field Wednesday morning. The rest of this week will be given over to work ing the city, and will then go back into the county for a final canvass. About $40, GOO has been subscribed so far.

Fair Maintained by Children

From ''the Country Schools Re-Birth :"
 by Carl Holiday in the American Re-
 view of Reviews
 Undoubtedly the country teacher ha S discovered that whenever he shows that he is interested in his community, the community will become interested in him. All over mAerica this exchange of in terest is now occurring. At Hadley, Massachusetts, for instance, there has been instituted what is known as Trophy Day." an occasion when the products of all the schools of the com munity are brought together and prizes the best sewing and the best other re- suits of the practical activities of chil- dren. What an interest thi saffar arouses each year! Then too, the teachers eff forts are not ignored; for prizes are offered to the instructor whose students show the best all-round results. This is really nothing less thar, q junior county fair--an educational institution that is rapidly growing popular throughout ru- ral America and may change the child s whole viewpoint of country life.
 The old fashioned county fair has all most ceased to exist in most sections; but this new type. supported by the enthu- siasm and pride of an ever-fresh army of youthful recruits, is doing more to call attention to local agricultural and in- dustrial possibilities than was ever dreamed of in the days when the grown ups conducted the exhibition. Moreover, the junior fair, unlike it's predecessor, never leaves deficit; for the best ears of corn are always in demand as seed i; the dresses and other pieces of sewing find ready sale, as do cakes, canned fruits and other eatables.
