STATE FAIR OFFERS GOVERNMENT All) - t t x v w i.r * - ' - With the view o f aiding the govern ment in its campaign to increase crop production, and reduce the enormous food waste, A. H. l.ea. seeretary of the State Fair Board has written to Secretary o f Agriculture Houston, offering the services o f the SlHte Fair as a “ Food Training Camp.” The Government, it is believed, w ill coop erate in the movement by furnishing lecturers, demonstrations and exhibits. I f the war is to tie won working Am erica must furnish the allies "Food Preparedness’ ' said Secretary Lea in commenting on the movement. P ri marily the object o f the State Fair is educational, and the Fair Board feels that it can render material service in the nation-wide campaign for the in crease o f food production, and the elimination o f needless waste. M ili tary ramps are being established throughout the country to train men in m ilitary science, and the Board pro poses to call the great rank and file of food producers and users into a central training camp a fter the harvest season for a b rief course o f instruction in effi cient methods for food production and conservation. To make the course as instructive as possible the Board is urging more breeders o f pure bred livestock than ever before to exhibit that the farmers may purchase and raise types o f stock that w ill best meet the nation’s de mand for more meat, milk, butter, cheese, leather, wool and horse power. Manufacturers o f farm machinery are being asked to show their latest models that the farmers may avail themselves o f machinery that w ill produce a max imum crop with a minimum cost and effort. The state is being combed for superior specimens o f grains, vegeta bles, fruits, corn and forage crops that are best suited to its soil and climate. Since the elimination o f waste is a material part o f the campaign, ar rangements are being made to offer a series o f demonstrations and lectures by food specialists in the woman’s department. The children are also being enlisted in the cruse Hnd in con nection with their exhibits, instructive demonstrations w ill be conducted. - 7 * 1 /m r - '; - 7 -r- The follow ing recommendations went out last week from the offices of R.
