FAIR OFFICIALS MAKING
EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS

Secretary Jones of the Fair Asso-
citation is the busiest man in town
right now, getting the Fair grounds
in shape for the coming Agricultural
and Live Stock Exposition. A large
force of workmen aer engaged on the
grounds repairing buildings and clean
ing up the premises. The association
has recently purchased the skating
rink and swimming pool from the
Manbeck estate and both buildings are
being remodelled to serve for EXPOSE
ton purposes. The swimming pool,
where the art and domestic science
exhibits are to be displayed this year,
is being completely remodelled and
will be covered over for the EXPOSE
ton, so that the entire floor space,
including the pool may be utilized
for the exhibition of the canning clubs
of the county and the various art and
domestic science exhibits. The skat-
ing rink will again be utilized for the
Poultry Show, which will even be an
Improvement over last years, though
it was said by competent judges to
have been the best held last year
throughout the state. Already num-
bers of Rhode Island Red breeders
have written for entry blanks, the
Georgia association of that breed hav-
ing designated the Fitzgerald EXPOSE
ton for their annual meeting and dis
play. Pigeons and hares also have
display room in this building, as will
! ducks and turkeys.
The Farm Bureau, through its Com
munity Councils will endeavor tx
have an agricultural display from
| each of the districts in the county
for which special attractive prizes arr

The Heath Amusement company, on

last year in many of the larger fair;
in Georgia, will furnish the attractions
on the Midway, and special firework
features are being arranged for thu
evening by the directors of the Fai
association.

of Georgia's farm lands were cultivat-
ed by tenant farmers! Think of that
How much more. valuable these 190,-
900 farmers would be to Georgia ii
they were landowners. The Califor-
mia bureau of land settlement is in
position to give their new settler every
kind of assistance and information
that he may need. That is very inn
portant. One of the chief sources of
failure on the part OF people going
into new section of country is the
fact that they do not know the soil
and understand farming conditions.
Georgia must provide a means that
her thirds farming population can
own their own homes and have a blu.
erau to advise and cooperate with
the newcomer. We have land area
sufficient to take care of 100000
people and we must get them.
Georgia has wonderful opportuni-
ty to develop and grow in prosperity
in the next ten years. The possibili-
ties of our agricultural and mineral
resources are beyond calculation. In
