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.
