PRODUCTION AND MARKETING ARE jj
AIDED BY COMMUNITY EXHIBITS Jl
Vegetables Must Conform to 8coro Card as Well as Other Exhibits. II
If n community blowcth not Its owa
horn by some form of community nc
tlvlty, verily by whom shall It bo
blown?
Advertisers hnvo discovered Hint
Cood chnrncterlstlcfl of their products
which nre so fnmlllnr to them ns to
iccm commonplace, nro often not so
well known to the great buying public.
Goods must bo talked nbout If busi
ness Is to bo secured. The same holds
truo with communities. Tho excel
leu co of neighborhood products and
the special lines In which various Indl
fldunls excel, niny seem llko n very
old story to thoso Immedlntely con
cerned, but thero nro plenty of folks
near by who hnvc not heard this story,
of, If by chance they hnvo henrd It, It
Is very much worth while from n busi
ness standpoint to repeat It nnd more
thnn once.
Exhibits Stimulate Duslneto.
It follows Hint promoting some form
of community fair, such as an exhibit
of local products, Is profltablo from
many points of view. It stimulates
better production of stock, fnrm pro
duce, nnd garden truek. It engenders
community pride, nnd ndvertlsus In nn
ntlrnctlxo fnkhlon good products und
thoio who produce them.
As n result of careful study of tho
methods of conducting community fnlm
tpeclallsts In tho United Stntes de
partment of agriculture outllnft a dell
nlto procedure, for thoso Interested In
promoting such neighborhood events.
Community fairs tho successful ones
nro not gotten up In n day or n
week. Preparations should begin
weeks In ndvnnce. It Is not too early
now to begin planning for nn exhibit
this autumn. The llrst step Is to get
together the lenders of different or
ganizations for ii dlsciiNslou of the
proposed fair. At this meeting n gen
eral outline of tho plan to be followed
vhouldlie presented for approval. Tho
meeting, to be thoroughly representa
tive, should be well advertised with
posters, newspaper notices nnd post
enrds addressed to ench family.
If the community decides to hold n
fair, an organization should he formed,
ofllcers elected, nnd committees np
polntrd. The latter should lucludo
committees on amusement nnd enter
tnlnment, nrrnugements, decorations,
nod publicity. Theso nre general com
mittees. In addition, there should bo
exhibit department committees for
surli exhibits ns live stock, fnrm prod
ucts, orchnrd nnd gnrden products,
women's work nnd lino nrts, school
und club exhibits, nnd historical relics.
Too much emphasis cannot bo placed
upon properly advertising the fair)
through articles In tho local papers,
printed hnndhlllH, hnndmnde posters,
notices read, preferably several times,
In the schools nnd churches, and In
vnrloiiH other wnys. The publicity
committee should gto speclnl atten
tion to advertising In neighboring
communities, extending nn Invitation
In such cordial terms that many who
ordinarily do not visit the community
holding exhibit will bo Induced to
do so,
Grouping of Exhibits.
The exhibit should represent ns
nearly as possible the normal produc
tion of the community, for one of tho
purposes of such a fnlr Is to stlmulnto
.merest In Increasing tho quantity nnd
improving tho qunllty of tho average
produce, us well us giving special rec
ognition to tho lenders In different
lines. Tho committees should mako
It n point pcrsounlly to solicit exhibits
from alt persons eligible, not falling
to emphuslzo tho business beuetlts
which may result.
Satisfactory results nre usually ob
tnlned by grouping certain ciusses of
exhibits. In ihe live stock department,
hollos, cattle, swine, poultry nnd pets
nro exhibited, In the furm-products
department are shown grains, feeds,
grasses, forage crops, bonus, peas pea
nuts, pototoiw, togulher with dairy
products nnd lieo pioduets. The or
chnrd nnd garden department Includes
such oxhlblts ns fruits and vegetables,
ornamental shrubberj and Dowers. The
women's woik and lino arta depart
ment has largo possibilities, nnd can
Include n great varluty of product a
prepnrcd by tho mothor and daugh
ters. Much of the success of tho exhibit
depends upon securing Judges of ubll
Ity and experience preferably per
pons from outside the community.
Usually Judges aro uvallablo who can
be seen red at llttlo or no expense.
