GET YOUR FAIR EXHIBIT

The Crisp County Fair is going to
he a great one this fall. 1t has already
promised this in hundred ways. You
will have to go out of town and out
of the county fair week, if you don't
wante to get into it. 1t will be every
body's fair and everybody is already
vitally interested in its success.
Many things point to far the best one
Crisp has ever offered.
Now, your first duty is to get that
exhibit ready. 1t will be fine one if
you begin putting on the frills this
early. But you want it to be a fine
one. President r. L. Dekle, Secretary
w. p. Fleming and every one of the
directors have deep pride in what
is giong to be on display this fall. You
likewise have your own personal
pride That's what is going to make
it fair productive of very excel
lent results.
The good results depend upon
whether you prepare your exhibit
from the best you have in live stock
and farm products. The farmer and
stock man who fails to come up to
your standard, will want to know how
you did it. He will know. Hundreds
of them will know before the fair is
over. The concrete example before
his very eyes will convince him that
the exhibit is an actuality,-4a pos
sible thing. He will go back home
determined to come up to that higher
standard. Another one and another
one will try the same thing and the
Iession will be learned. The fair is go
ing to be one TO the best educative
forces. 1t will push the poor farmer
and stock man out of the running. All
ours will be good.
The Cordele dispatch., 1919-08-26

of abundance and offer promise of
abatement of excessive prices. An
actual shortage of food supplies would
put an end to the immediate hope of
relief. But when immense quanti.
ties are held within easy reach Of the
markets and profiteering goes on un-
checked, consumers have every rea.
son to demand that drastic measures
be taken. es
The cold storage plant is a neces-
sary part of modern distribution. In
near crowded centers of population es-
pecially it could not be dispensed with
It serves the same purpose as a rese-
voir in the city water symstem as a
form of insurance against Interrupt
tion Of service. 1t helps in maintain
!. ing the general standard Of living
throughout the year. = ~
1t is not the reasonable use of cold
storage but the abuse of the opportu-
mites for boarding by greedy opera
tors that calls for summary action.
Evidence is piling up daily all over
the country that spectators have
been hiding away stocks of foodstuffs
in anticipation of the day when they
should gouge the public and pocket
fat profits. Under the Food Control
Law the government has-the means
of defeating their schemes. By seiz.
ing the boards secreted by these
gamblers I'M food it will help to check
the meanest of commercial practices
by which the American people have
been victimized 1t will be a happy
outcome if many of them are arrest
ed and punished to the full extent of
the law as a warning to others who
may be tempted to initiate their con
scienceless methods
Profiteering can never be wholly
stopped, but it can be effectively
checked through an aggressive cam
paig1 against the worst offenders at
tie { .p The retailer who overcharges
his customers will best be reached
through the vigilance of consumers.

lator ;he federal authorities will need
to c.. tre tier attention and pursue

A COLD STORAGE sMokEHousE

We get the idea from the Albany
Herald that the farmers and stock
man will do we'll to provide his own
curing plant this fall and winter and
prepare to take care of his own meat.
Hundreds of the meat producers in
Brooks county who raised meat many
years prior to the time Of the packing
plant in this country. have their own
packing houses, refrigerator plants,
where meat may be saved. In a warm
turn of the weather, load of ice will
save the meat in one of these houses
and thus cure it.
Stock raisers are already looking
for the packers strike at high prices
when they are curbed in their mono
poles of the food supplies of the ma
ton and that will mean low prices for
hogs on foot. That will be the pack
er's revenge if he wreaks it, and he
will. One of the most strating things
every happening in this country
wuold be government regulation OF
the packing industry that wuold re-
gulate and not play politics. Nobody
believes the government will ever
regulate the packing business. If it
is does effectually, the producer will
be te first man to get hit.
Now, the important thing is to pro
vide the curing plan at home. Every
meat producer has already found the
need of this. 1t cost from $500 to
$4O0 from information at hand, but
it becomes a home refrigerator and
works wonders in saving the meat.
This home plant insures against
forced sales of hogs on poor market.
Uusually when the entire hog
put of the country is on the market,
the price is cut very low. The rush
Of the Season always causes a drop
In the market Tie packer watches
for this and buys at a minimum. You
cannot blame him, but your can avoid
it,
Let us study the good of the home
refrigerator plant. 1t will enable us to
store and stell at the time when
there is demand in the home mar
kets. Cured country meats bring a
good price anywhere. Worlds of it is
shipped all over the country. Why
not cure ours and beat the packers

advantages to our farmers. Likewise
many of the planters, the best in
the county and surrounding territory,
will be here to study advanced me-
thods of farming. If the day is a good
one, two to three thousand people will
be here to witness the initial stump
clearing demonstration of series OF
sixteen which are to be held in south
Georgia following the start here.
Ours, therefore, is an important
occasion. The success of the work OF
| the whole tour will largely depend on
! the manner in which the demonstra
I ton is taken here. Local business
man and resident farmers, all the pee
pie from one end of the country to the
other, owe it to themselves and their
visitors to make this a profitable day
Those in charge promise profitable
and instructive work during the day
1t will be worth coming many miles
to see for it means the later advent
of improved farming in south Geor-
gia.
We must be heart and soul in the
business of clearing the stumps.

to go after the stumps and get them
