IF our farmers will continue for two
o. years as they have this state
will be in the best shape financially
and agriculturally sine e the Civil
War. It is the first year the farm
ers have ever fed themselves and for
this reason we have made this crop
than ever before and the harvest will
be the biggest. The state will make
between eighty and a hundred mil
lion bushels of corn and a million
tons of velvet beans, and the present
prospects are for a better cotton crop
than we have had for a number of
produced as much food and feed as
he needs the cotton will come nearer
being a real money crop than ever be-
fore. If these conditions prevail for
two years longer this will be one Of
the most prosperous states in the
South if not in the union. Our far
mers will have money in the bank
and be living under better home and

CHILD WELFARE EXHIBIT
AT THE TRi-STATE FAIR
One of the Most Interesting New Fea.
lures to Be Found at the Great
Exposition.

The Memphis Parent Teachers as
ISOLATION, the Department of Educa-
ton of the Tennessee Federated clubs,
together with the Woman's Depart
ment of the fair are cooperating in
making the Child's Welfare exhibit in
the Woman's Building, a feature of
especial interest and decided value.
Mrs. Sam Phillips will serve as
chairman for the Parent-Teachers as
ISOLATION committee. Mrs. l.. A.
Thornton, as chairman of the Wo-
mans Department, and Mrs. Claude
D. Sullivan, as chairman for the Fed
Grated clubs. Each of these commit
tees will add some distinct feature Of
interest to the exhibit.
The morning hours will be devoted
to talks and demonstrations on "Baby
Care" by graduated nurses, who will
have a complete exhibit of baby's
needs, while the afternoon hours will
be devoted to talks on Baby Care"
by experienced physicians. The value
Of the department will be greatly en-
HANGED through the cooperation of
the National Child Welfare associa-
ton, which will send to the fair from
New York, the National Child We'll
fare exhibit, which was shown at the
San Francisco-Panama Exposition.
This is the most elaborate and CON-
plete Child's Welfare exhibit aver
gotten together, and will occupy the
entire second. floor of the Woman's
Building. 1t consists of models of
infant equipment of all kinds, play
ground equipment, etc., and over 200
artistic panels done in oil and colors.
The exhibit will be accompanied by
experts, who will add greatly to its
value with daily talks and explana-
lions of the various feature of Child
Welfare work. The dates OF the fair
are Sept. % to 20, and the railroads
are offering reduced rates for the oc-
casion.

STOCK PAVILION
SEATS BIG CROWD
ONE or IMPORTANT CHANGES
At MEMPHIS TRl-sTATE FAIR
WILL BE VERY PLEASING.
JUDGE FOUR RINGS AT ONCE
Tho Importance Of the Live Stock Ex-
hibit Is Recognized by the Manage
ment and Adequate Facilities
Are Provided.

Regular visitors to the Tri-State
Fair will hardly recognize the int.
rior Of the various exhibit buildings
this year. The plan and scope of the
exhibits in nearly every department
has received a general. overhauling
since the last fair necessitating
changes in the buildings in order to
show the new exhibits. These changes
are OF a character that will add great
~ to the attractiveness of the dis
plays. New touches have been added
here and there, and the general plan
will undoubtedly meet with approval.
An addition to the agricultural de.
partment, which is expected to prove
q most pleasing and useful one, is the
large number of charts that will &C.
company the exhibits and the com
plete manner in which the exhibits
will be labeled.
Another addition, which will be a
great improvement, is the erection OF
a Live Stock Pavilion, in which to
Judge the cattle. This is large enough
to judge three or four rings at a time,
and has ample seating capacity to
take care of the large crowds who
usually watch the Judging with in
terest.
Fully twice as much stock will be
on display this year as in former
years. and this Judging pavifen will
prove a great convenience, both to 81
hibftors and visitors.

to pull. If the corn is cut at this
state it will not lessen the yield as
enough food is stored in the stalks to
complete the ripening.
Save Waste Hay
ION most farms nearly enough hay
can be saved from ditch banks. road
sides and waste places to run the
farm besides which the cutting Of this
hay will improve the looks Of the
farm. Much good hay can be cut
from pastures where they have not
been heavily stocked, and at the
same time the pastures will be i'm
proved by moving. Where peas or
velvet beans have been planted in the
corn, enough feed can be saved to
winter cattle on by moving after
the crop is harvested"
1.-THE next thinb in Importance"
Professor Lloyd stated, sis to begin
preparing land for winter grazing
crops for hogs. Among these are
rape, red clover, oats, vetch, crimson
clover. 1t is necessary to plant these
crops in early September so they will
become rooted before a freeze, and
attain enough growth to supply graz
ing during the winter. In this con-
nection farmers should not be dis
couraged because their oat crop fail
ed last winter. Oats in Mississippi
won't kill once in ten years, and the
oat is one of our cheapest crops to
grow as well as one o fthe states
best money crops.
Plant More Wheat
For the coming winter | want to
urge that farmers plant as much
wheat as necessary to at least fur
nish -four for home use. Even every
small farmer should plant from three
to five acres with much larger acre
age on the two horse and larger
farms"
In closing Professor Lloyd said:
