Would Divide Funds For Fairs.

The committee appointed under a
house joint resolution for the purpose
Of investigating the agricultural fairs
of Knoxville, Chattanooga, Memphis
and Nashville prepared report after
making a careful investigation of each
of the fair associations mentioned.
The report goes into detail concerning
the management, auditing and finan-
cial ope! alton of each fair. All four
of them are found to be we'll managed
and in good condition. The commit
tees recommendations provide for an
appropriation of 100000 for the fairs
of the state. The recommendations
follow:
1T is the belief of your committee
that Tennessee's greatest growth in
the next few years is to be through
Its agricultural department. No state
in the entire Union is so we'll favored
for growing a variety of crops and es-
pecially for economical production of
live stock; in fact, Tennessee 10 well
fitted to lead all states In live stock
production and this fact Is being grad
ually realized.
mo one industry in the entire state
has shown such remarkable growth In
the past decade as has the states live
stock production, and this growth has
unquestionably been brought about
largely through the work being done
by the larger fairs of the state. The
exhibits at these fairs have unques-
tionably been great stimulus to bet
ter agricultural methods and to In
proved and increased live stock pro-
duction. We are just on the threshold
of our development along these lines,
and the good being done by the fairs
in aiding this development should not
be allowed to lag.
Therefore, finding that good use
has been made in the past of the
money appropriated by the state for
premiums, we recommend that this APP
preparation be continued. That S0U,OOU
be appropriated for use by the board
of fair trustees for paying premiums at
fairs during the next biennial period;
that $4,000 be allotted to the state
fair at Nashville, aid $4,000 to be al
Iotted to West Tennessee to be offered
in premiums at the Memphis Tri-State
Fair; that 100000 be allotted to East
Tennessee to be offered in premiums,
one-half at the East Tennessee Divi-
sion Fair at Knoxville, and onehalf at
the Chattanooga District Fair at Chat
tanooga, provided that the fairs named
shall appropriate and offer dollar for
dollar of the amount appropriated by
the state"
