ing made, despite the drouth. He
has some splendid Carter County
corn in his office and there is go
ing to be much OF it exhibited at
the fair. There are many local
tiles where fairly good corn has
been raised" Mr.. Russell said.
Zone thing about it-what there
is will be found of the very best
quality, for farmers have been us
ing seed of the best grades, and
the result is found in corn that will
be shown at the fair. There is
corn along the Wilson creek val
ley that will make 80 bushels to the
acre, and Erett Dunlap has 40
acres in Caddo creek bottom that
will yield 1000 bushels, or 2'
bushels per acre"
The showing made by the boys
and girls clubs of the county will
be better than ever before. The
livestock exhibit, Mr.. Russell said,
will be prominent feature of the
fair. There will be large num-
Der of animals on exhibition and
the quality will be the best demon
stration possible of what has been
done in raising the grade of cattle
and hogs in Carter County.
The streets leading to the fair
grounds will be put in good condi-
ton and Commissioner Carter has
signified his willingness to do all in
his power to aid in this work. The
fair officials requested that limit
be placed upon the rate carriers OF
passengers to and from the
grounds should charge. At the
council meeting, when this request
was presented, the mayor said it
was impossible for the city to do
this, but this morning he said he
would discuss the matter with the
city attorney and see ii this could
not besdone.
