ment, the seventh annual premium

being mailed from the local fair Of
fees, surpasses by far any previous
yearbook the fair has produced since
its organization in 1916.

the twenty-odd departments are list
ed in the 150-page booklet, beginning
with the awards for the national
hog and cattle show which will again
be the leading feature of the edu-

great enterprise was started three
years ago, and the first and second
years were so entirely successful
that the promoters Of the fair and
the Southern Swine Growers asso-
citation and the Southern Cattlemen's
association, under whose sponsorship
the show is given, decided to make
it a permanent feature of the At.
lanta fair.
Nearly $4,000 is offered in prizes
in the cattle department alone, and
the principal breeds to compete in
clude Herefords, Shorthorns, Aber-
deen-Angus, Polled Shorthorns, Jer.
seys, Guernseys, Holstein-F 'riesians,
and Ayshires.
