Forty-Two Counties to Exhibit
at Coming State Fair.

And Bee Exhibit Exposition
Oeglnt October 16.
Visitors to the twenty-fourth annual
meeting of the State Fair of Texas,
which opcnH nt Dnllns Saturday, Oc-
1 tobcr 16, nod continues sixteen days,
will find a marked Improvement In the
agricultural department. When It 1
taken Into consideration that Texas
(ins 137,8CE,00O acres of land unculti
vated, It Is plnlnly seen that tho man
agement of the Fair has tho proper
Incentive to mnkc this department a
paramount feature of each exposition.
Forty-two counties have Bccurcd space
for tho exhibition of tholr farm, or
chard and garden products. This I
tho largest number In the history of
tho Fair, and will exemplify in a way
as never before, tho rich agricultural
resources of the atate. Although tho
$2,000 In Individual and county ex
hibits create a good humored nnd
cplrlted rivalry among tho agricul
turalists of the stnte, tho benefit that
tho exhibitors receive from a display
of their products nt the Fair is Incal
culable. Oreat rntlrond systems have
nrrnnged to give stopover privileges at
Dallas during tho Fair to nil home-1
seekers, for the purpose of furnishing
a rare opportunity of coming In direct
contact with the pooplo of various por-1
tlons ot tho state and there see and '
Inspect tho diversified products. j
Until last year tho farm, orchard
and garden displays woro In tents '
