Is no reason why that the agrcll- |
turnl exhibit should not be one of
the best that we have ever had at
the fair This D. an agricultural !
country and one OF the best agri-
cultural sections in the State Of
Texas. The possibilities from agri- |
cultural exhibits for the South |
Plains Fair are great and the best |
way Go promote interest is az insn- |
tutes called Fairs II Is the best |
way 10 educate people by showing |
them what can be done In an agrl-
cultural way. The farmer depends
upon the merchants and the mer-
chants depend upon the farmers.
There IS no better way of showing |
this great industry of agricultural
and live stock than by exhibiting at
the Fair. Some are greatly dis
couraged on account of the dry |
weather but the Officers of the Fair
association are not discouraged and |
feel that the exhibit that they will i
make this year will show great Il
possibility Of what this country can II
do even in dry weather Geo. W II
