Attendance at State Fairs Increased
In Wartime
There Is ample evidence, from the
State Fairs that have been held this
year, that the war is not depreciating
the attendance at these great agricul-
tural institutions but that 1t ia slim

writes Mr.. Hanafourde, secretary and
general manager of the Florida State

"You will be interested in knowing
that we broke all records for attend
ance. Approximately $4,000 persons
attended the fair in six days, as com
pared with a previous record of at
tendance Of approximately $4,000, in
1917.

effect the attendance at any time OF
the Fairs in our Association. In fact
the reports from Fairs that have
closed this early are enthusiastic ovcv
their increase of attendance
The Florida State Fair of this year
will undoubtedly, from all present
indications, have a record of attend
ance that will be surprising. Tho
war exhibits, to be sent by the L. s
government, together with the "win
the war" exhibits to be displayed by
the progressive farmers, growers and
cattlemen of Florida will make a
showing of such great interest and
attractiveness as to invite thousands
OF visitors. Then, there will be here
during the State Fair thousands Of
delegates to the Farmers National
Congress and to the Pan-American
International Farm and Live Stock |
Exposition, all of whom will desire
to see what Florida is doing along
lines Of agriculture and live stock
raising-a wonderful opportunity for
Florida agriculturists and cattlemen
to present, through exhibits at the
state Fair, convincing evidences Of
their enterprise and Of the States
productivity, and adaptabillty for
stock-raising purposes.
