The government agrees to wipe off

COUNTY FAIR IS
URGED BY COUNTY
AGR|CULTUR|ST

That Putnam county will profit
largely from a county fair is the
firm belief of County Agricultural
Agent D. A. Armstrong, who is lay
ing plans for an exhibit of products
in various communities Of the state
next fall, with the hope that during
the winter county fair can be ar
ranged in Palatka for the assem-
bling of all of these exhibits.
"The county exhibits at the large
fairs this season were gathered un-
der adverse conditions" said Mr.
Armstrong. "If you remember the
county changed agricultural agents
about the time the Jacksonville fair
took place and the whole work OF
gathering the exhibit was left to the
home demonstration agent, who al
ready had all that one person ought
to be responsible for. Nevertheless
a creditable display Of the county's
products was shown which won sixth
place in the county awards. The ex-
pense of this exhibit was very small,
and to offset the initial expense
premium money to the amount OF
5000 was won on the exhibit, which
was used to help defray the expense
of the Tampa exhibit, where many
rood prizes were also won, such as
second on cane syrup, second on
home-canned products. also individ-
ual prizes which swelled the WIN
nings close to 5000.
"But the winning Of prize money
is not the prime object Of showing
the county's products where thou
sands of people view them daily. The
advertising value of the show can
not be estimated in dollars and cents
