New Orleans 70 Have Events OF
Interest to EVely State in
the South.

One of the greatest tributes to the
position attained by the Eationa!
Farm and Live Stock Show, New or .
leans, at a single bound and in less
than single year, was the gr2nt;2i
o. unusu .iiy low rates by al the raii'
roads. 1t was recognition Of tie bel'
eft of the enterprise to ihe larn:hg
and all other industries OF the south,
and OF the wisdom of giving all the
people OF the south a chance to reaCh
it and profit by it.
The war has placed an immense
strain upon trans pOrtatiOn facilities,
and it is anticipated that there will be
a shortage of cars and locomotives
For that reason the roads all over the
country have largely reduced their
concessions to the fairs. In some o;
the northern states there were 10 spe
cial rates put on, so that the attend
apce was seriously interfered With
The rates allowed the National are
much better than last year, from the
very cheap two days excursion privi
lege 10 the practically one-way fare
for the round trip and stay as long
as you like
The opportunity of taking in the big
event with all its education and its
chances to buy, sell and get acQuaint
ed. is too strong to resist. The farm
er's ard the farm wife's and the farm
youths difficulty is going to be to dc
eide as to the days on which to come,
for each day has its own attraction
and its own appeal. The best plan ~
to go for the entire far The ten days
will be equivalent to a college course
and a trip to half dozen states and
markets. If that ls impossible, then
the proper course is to get together
and organize parties to enjoy some OF
the bright spots that tempt most. To
facilitate such q survey the list OF
