SOUTH CAROLINA'S BIGGER
AND BETTER STATE FAIR
A Truly Educational Fair That
Should Have Been Better Attend
sd-Sone of tho Prize-winners.

South Carolina is building her ag-
ricultural structure on a broad and
progressive basis. This has been evil
dent for many years, but the State
Fair of 1917 indicates more clearly
than ever that she is working, along
the right lines in order to have her
people lead happy, efficient and well
balanced lives.
Owing to a number Of circum-
stances the attendance fell short of
that Of last year. The railroads
would give no reduced rates; many
people thought there would not be
sufficient accommodations because of
the presence of a training camp in
Columbia, while others thought they
must rush the marketing Of their
crops while prices were high.
But despite the fact that the at
tendance was not as large as usual
the fair itself was great success.
In the opinion Of The Progressive
Farmers special correspondent, the
fair as a whole was superior to. that
Of 1916. The general agricultural
exhibits were better, the livestock
better, and the farm machinery ex-
hibits Of a superior nature.
Everybody admitted that the best
feature of the fair was the exhibits
prepared by the women. This de-
partmnt was under the direction of
Miss Edith L. Parrot, and she prov
ed herself a capable general.
Miss Parrot said that the exhibits
prepared by herself and the home
demonstration agents under her were
merely a reflection of the work they
were doing all the time. This means
much to South Carolina, and if a
South Carolina girl gets an average
public school education and then
takes up the work under her county
home demonstration agent, she will
in fact obtain a normal school edu.
cation.
The work is arranged for a four
year course in all departments. There
is a four-year canning course; cours'
es in cooking, nursing and practical
HON management. The first years
course takes up the simpler things.
and the difficulty of the courses in.
creas from year to year, much as
the do in a normal school.
The exhibits of field crops was al,
so a success, and this was largely
due to DR.. Long and his county
agents. In fact, the demonstration
forces have made-and are making
South Carolina. Every booth in the
mems and women's departments was
in charge of competent agricultural
and home economics workers, ready
to explain any feature of the ex-
hibit. :
In fact, one of the most notable
features Of the fair was that every
booth contained a card saying: "Ask
this exhibit to be explained" 'If you
merely show a mai an exhibit of ten
pretty ears Of corn" said DR. Long
'hs will forget about it before he

! At meeting held at the Court
House Monday afternoon to discuss
The present food situation and to make
plans to bring to the attention of the
people of the county the alarming
shortage Of food throughout the world
the following county committee was
named on Public Safety Of Food Pre-
paredness:

ply, E. J. Park, ]. H, Hardison, j. F.
Porter, DR.. w. B. Kicks, r. l.. Hays,
Mrs. A. w Bryan and Mrs A. w. Lips
comb
The suggestions as recommended by
he committee on food supplies and
conservation at Nashville, April II,
were adopted by this committee for
Maury county.
The committee then took up the
matter of greater production through
out the county. The garden campaign
was next discussed and Mrs. A. W..
Lipscomb and DR.. w. B. Kicks were
appointed to see to the matter of more
gardens in Columbia. 1t is urged that
all back lots and vacant lots be used

I'VE may not only add to the supply Of
vegetables but also aid in cleaning up
the city Proper planting of the gar
den was next discussed and ]. M.
Dean, District Agent, gave rather
lengthy discussion Of how a garden
could be planted so that we could
lave fresh vegetables at all times and
not have an over supply during the
summer months. The saving of all
PRODUCTS should be encouraged and
that which cannot be utilized when it
ripens should be canned. Mrs. Bryan,
home demonstration agent, who has
charge of this work in the county, was
in Knoxville attending the annual
meeting OF the agents, but the matter
Of cans was taken up and an effort
will be made to buy the cans in car
load lots and thereby make consid-
cradle saving. The Girls Tomato
Club will be supplied with cans this
way.
The work for the farmers was next
taken up and it was decided to urge
the farmers to plant more crops that
would soon be available for food.
Since Maury county has already an
extra large acreage of corn it was not
deemed advisable to urge that they
plant more corn. Special efforts will

Agent Farris will begin at once the
organization of soy bean club of 200
farmers who will plant at least three
acres of soy beans for seed. Twenty
five men have already been enrolled.
Sweet potatoes and second crop OF
IRISH potatoes were also pointed out
as being very important crops.
Special meetings will be held over
the county within the next two weeks
by the county agent and other workers
of the division for the purpose of
pointing out to the farmer just the
situation the county is in. Where
there is a community club these meet
ings will be held in connection with
their meetings, but where there is no
local organization a general farmers
meeting will be held. Announcements
will be made later about the dates of
the various meetings. They will be
held at nights and on Sundays SO that
they will not interfere with the farm
work. All are urged to attend those
in the community. .. ..s.
1t wa. also decided to ask each pas
tor in Maury county to read a copy
of the resolutions from the pulpit next
Sunday and direct his remarks as
much as possible along this line Of
food preparedness. 1t is hoped that
each person will realize the opportun-
ity that he has to do real service to
his country by producing more than
he did last year and thus increasing
the supply of food. Interest yourself
in this work and join the Army in
