Interest to Every State in
-. the South.

/ One Of the greatest tributes to the
position attained by the National
Farm and Live Stock Show, New Or
lesns. at single bound and In less
than . single year, was the grantins
Of unusually low rates by all the rad
roads. 1t was recognition of the ben,
eft OF the enterprise to the farming
and all other industries Of the south.
and OF the wisdom of giving all ths
people of the south chance to reach
It and profit by 1t.
The war has placed AN immense
strain upon transportation facilities,
and It Is anticipated that there will be
. 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 no spe,
eial rates put on. so that the attend
ance was seriously interfered with.
The rates allowed the National are
much better than last year, from the
very cheap two days excursion privi
Iege to the practically one-way fare
Tor the round trip and "stay AZ long
as you like"
The opportunity OF taking In the big
svent with all It's education and its
chances to buy. sell and get acquaint
cd, Is too strong to resist. The farm
sr's and the farm wife's and the farm
youths difficulty is going to be to do
eide ~ to the days on which to come.

to 90 for the entire fair. The ten days
will be equivalent to a college course
and a trip to half dozen states and
markets. II that is impossible, then
