The Mississippi State
Fair at Jackson

The State Fair opens in Jackson
on October goth, from all reports
it seems like this years fair will
surpass all former years. This has
been rather bad year for the
farmers, with small crops and the
boil weevil, but in the face of these
handicaps, Miss Stire, secretary OF
the Fair, says, 'the people are coming
to their fair regardless and the
management has left no stone I'M
turned in making this the best Fair
ever" =
The capitol city will have quite a
Job accommodating the big out-of-town
crowds, but as lot of the folks
only stay one day they claim every
body will be taken care OF. Below
is the program and schedule OF
the events.

DO 1T WITH A CLUB

Whether it is a baseball club, a
corn, calf, or canning club, pig,
potato or poultry club, the boys and
girls are learning how easy it is to
do things through clubs. They are
learning early the value Of organiza-
ton. Is this not promise that the
next generation Of farmers will know
how to organize for success? One OF
the first activities Of the new school
year will be the formation OF clubs
In thousands Of country schools. The
wise teacher will encourage tho move
ment knowing it to be means Of
promoting regular attendance and in
creasing the interest in school work.
In addition to one or two Of the clubs
mentioned every school should have
a School Improvement Club in which
the boys and girls can unite.

BUCKING HORSE FROM UTAH
TO BE AT FALL ROUNDUP

The manager of the fall roundup
announce that ]. H. Hartong received
a copy of the letter from the Poca-
tello Chamber of Commerce in which
it was stated that they would be un-
able to send delegation in the event
that the main road between Blackfoot
and Pocatello was still closed to
road will be completed at that time
with the exception of the two-mlle
detour and that that strip will be

turned from Mackay, where he at
tended the fair, and states that 1t
was good fair, active, we'll patron
lied and appreciated, and that much
credit Is due the managers for the
success of the affair. Mr.. Seeger in
Senator VIM. e. Borah, who
was at that place, and extended an
invitation to him to attend the Round
Up, Stock Show and Junior Club Fair
here this month. Senator Borah ex-
pressed his desire to be here at that
time and accepted the invitation, the
only obstacle which might keep him
from attending would be in the event
hat a special session of congress is
called. R. w. Dixey announces that
le has been securing the country far
and wide for bucking horses. Tony,
/ wild mustang from Utah, will in all
be here. This horse has
never been riden and recently was

BUSINESS MEN IN FAVOR Of
IDAHO POTATO EXCHANGE

I he should sign or not, he had an
swered in such a way that the per.
son asking could use their own judg-
any man what he could do nor what
he couldn't do, for it wasn't business
| policy. He said the potato organiza-
tioh was farmers organization, and
| would be entirely in the farmers
hand, and the success or failure OF
the exchange would depend entirely
upon the selection of the five men,
bers of the executive committee.
The question of taking over the
Wylie-Zuckerman sales organization,
for according to Mr.. Hill that is prac-
tically what the contract with Wylie-
Zuckerman amounts to, since they
have discontinued the buying of po-
tatoes and from now on will do moth
ing but sell potatoes. The opinion
was generally unanimous that since
this concern could not buy, there Is
no question but what they would get
the very highest price possible for
those they sell for the association.
Mr.. Hill quoted Aaron Sapiro as
saying that by April, 1924, the Potato
Exchange of the United States would
have a National Sales Organization
Of their own.
Only four counties Of the state OF
Idaho have fallen down on the sign
ing Of the contracts, and three Of
these counties would be signed up
later, and by October 1 1t Is expected
that IS per cent of the entire acre
age OF the state Of Idaho will be in
the organization.
The question Of the signing up of
men whose wives objected to the or
ganization was brought up and dis
cussed, and it was thought that the
local committees should make house
to house canvas and discuss any
question or objection with the man
and wife in the home. 1t was the
belief that this course would thor
oughly convince the wife that she was
wrong, and as one man stated, 35 per
cent of those who did not sign In his
precinct gave as their reasons the
objection Of the wife. 1t is hoped
that these matters can be straight
ened out.
