Gwinnett County Fair
Draws Crowds From
= All Parts Of County

LAWRENCEVILLE Ga, Oct. s.
The Gwinnett County fair closed 8
most successful week Saturday night
at midnight. The fair opened Tues
day, Sept. %, and while the weather
was cold and windy for two days,
the attendance was good all along.
On Saturday, day and night, the
grounds were simply overlooking
with people from all sections of the
county.
The exhibits were unusually good,
and the big shows midway was
thronged with a happy crowd out for
a good time. This year all wheels
of chance and games of skill and
immoral shows were kept off this
midway and nothing was seen that
even the clergy could not visit with
approval
The war department had a wire
less outfit at the fair and also =
motor searchlight. The searchlighI
was used very effectively at night,
and people for twenty-five miles
flashed across the heavens.

Weekly Journal.)

CAM PGRANT, Ill.-Secretary of
War Baker recently visited the Re-
search and Development Service
schols of the American army here
at Camp Grant. Brigadier General
at the camp, took Baker "round the
place" and showed him soldiers at
work in almost every branch of bust
ness there is.
But where do you suppose Briga-
der General Bell finally ended up the
trip, and then spent as much time
at this one branch as he had in all
the others?
Right down on the farm! And it
was a government farm, at that.
"Back to the Farm"
The old "back-to- the-farm cry is
the slogan of one of the branches
of the Research and Development
Service of the United States army.
Hundreds of enlisted soldiers have
answered the call and taken up the
ers of men" training system Uncle
Sam has adapted for peace time.
If you ever visit Camp Grant and
want to find Brigadier General Bell,
and he's not at headquarters or at
his home, run down to the farm.
IHdI place IS MS uODDy!
The army farm is at one end of
Camp Grant and it covers 400 acres
of rich land. Enlisted men are
working this land and, when they
step back into civil life, they will
know all there is to know about
raising crops and tending cattle.
Military Orders OFF
There is no Indication of regular
army life present on the farm with
the exception Of khaki uniforms
worn. Even these are absent in the
dairy and blowing branches, where
overalls. They are farming, not get
ting military training. It's regular
farm life fro mevery angle.
Small grains, corn and forage crops
are grown on twenty-acre plots. g..
These foodstuffs are sold to the
camp mess halls at lower figure
than the market price.
A mule barn, sheep shed, poultry
house, hog house, stock judging pa
villon, dairy barn and implement
sheds have been erected. All types
of farm machinery are used and stu
dents are instructed in the use OF
each.
A prize herd of cattle that would
make a county fair envious is part
Of the farm equipment. If a soldier,
after training on Uncle Sans farm,
can't tell the difference between a
Jersey, Guernsey, d t1olSleli, d
Short Horn and an Aberdeen-AnguS
it's his own fault.
Trained Teachers
In the hog, sheep and poultry de-
partments, only the best breeds are
kept.
Dean C. B. Waldron, formerly Of
the North Dakota Agricultural col
lege heads the farm branch faculty.
C. H. Pollock, of North Dakota and
Cornell, is farm manager, and R. L..
Leech, formerly of the University of
Illinois, is in charge of stock rails
ing.
I'VE are teaching soldiers how to
become real farmers-how to grow
crops and raise stock" says Dean
Waldron. THAT is our reply to
those who said the army took boys
off the farm -

that a greater number of cars will
be loaded properly.
Twenty-Five short instruction
courses relative to various phases of
marketing were given in six states.
In one state a course of lectures COW
ering IL weeks was given in a school
of commerce. Cooperative enter
prises in three states were given as
sistance in accounting problems. The
collection and dissemination of. infor-
nation relative to quantity, quality
and price of local produce offered for
sale was arranged for at II points
in states. -
The United States bureau of mar
kets' report of the work of its field
agents in marketing shows that the
accomplishments were greater in
number and of more value to pro-
ducers and consumers during the
year ended June 80, 1920, than in
any previous year. It is felt that
work 81 this character. should make
possible the development of a con-
sistent national policy in improving
marketing methods.

The low price of cotton apd the
ravages Of the boil weevil, which has

crop. is going to hit the farmers OF
this county hard, it was pointed out,
Unless they can realize something
like 40 cents per pound, it will have

ali other classes of citizens to lend
their moral aid to the movement, dis
claiming any intention of Gripping
any industry or enterprise, but acting
only in the interest Of self preserVa-

Aid in Marketing

Work of exceptional value to

the organization of livestock ship

EASY NOW TO saw LOGS
and CUT Down Trees

Only one man, or even boy, with
the improved Ottawa Engine Log
Saw can easily cut twenty-five to
forty cords a day, and at a cost of
less than &c per cord. This machine,
which outdoes all others, has a
heavy, cross cut saw driven by a
powerful especially designed 4-cycle
gasoline engine. It's a fast money
maker for those using it, and does
more than ten men could do, either
cutting down trees, saving logs, or
buzzing branches while you rest.
When not saving, the engine can be
used for other work requiring power.
