FAIR NOTES.

The 1917 exhibition of the Mt
Vernon Fair was a good one.
The floral hall exhibit was not
up to the standard but yet it was
a most creditable show.
Considering the many disad-
vantages under which the associa
ton had to labor this year, the
war scare, etc, the 1917 exhibit
pronounced one of the best.
Hess Parsons makes a dandy
ring master.
Next week will apper a list OF
the premium winners.
The Red Gross march was stop
ped by the heavy storm Thurs
day.
The only accident of any kind
occurred during the storm when
a boy drove a buggy against an
automobile. The machine which
was driven by Roy Sowder was
standing still when the buggy
hit. No one hurt.
The show rings of good mules
Vas hard to beat.
There was a splendid exhibit
of cattle.
President G. D. Sutton worked
hard and deserves especial men
ton for his efforts.

the right man in the place and

My Dear Friend:

The time is near at mana for the
enrolment of the members of the
Boys Corn Club of your county for
the coming year, and as you have
been in one or more annual contests
since this work was organized in
the 9TH District and as | know you
realize the benefit you derived from
the work, ! hope you will do all you
can to get the boys in your neigh
borhood to join. Let us all work
together and see if we cannot have
the largest enrolment thls year that
we have ever had in our district.
OF course If you are within the
age limit | am expecting you back
in the club this year with a determ-
nation to surpass your record of
last year, which from unfayorable
seasons proved discouragng to
many of the club members am
Offering my usual prizes for the
year and | am sure the progressive
citizens of your county will liberal

think the boys Corn Clubs are
doing a great work in Georgia and
they have been largely instrumental
in increasing the corn crop of Geor-
aia by more than 30,0OO,0 600 bush

crease is due to the young farmers

corn club of their county, have
learned the principles Of scientific
agriculture as applied to corn grow

the corn club mas caused you to
decide to make farming you voca-
tion for life. There is 10 calling to
my mind that is as noble, but to
make success in it, it demands as
much study as any other profess
sion. I trust you will make
your plans to study agricul-

over 5000 young farmers like your
