The reason why Cleveland coun ty’s giant farm exposition of com munity displays, field crops, live stock, poultry, and horticultural exhibits leads the south lies In the thousands of entries made and the exceptional quality shown in the displays seen in the big new ex hibit halls and barns. Leaders of all departments re port that there are more entries this year than ever before and that virtually all entries are county products. St. Paul Wins. St. Paul community took the lead again this year with the first prize of $50 for the best display. Btetlile hem and Polkville took second and third, getting $40 and $30 respect ively.

"111 tell you—a farmer can make more money with a two-acre lake than he can with a 100-acre farm,” Mr. Wilson said, thinking not only of the succulent bass In his own frying pan, but of the possibilities of selling fish, and of permitting— for a price—sportsmen to cast their lines in his lake.

No wonder the judges had a hard time deciding and at the close of the day had not got around to all the entries. In the pantry and dairy supply division alone there were more than a thousand offerings to be judged and from two o’clock in the afternoon until six, the Judge, Miss Mamie Whisnant, home demonstra tion agent of Salisbury, carried on the almost overwhelming task of cutting, tasting and smelling. And a very thorough job she did until her taster gave out and she had to call It a day. Mrs. John McClurd was director of this department. Beautiful Flowers In the centre of the first floor of Exhibit Hall the flower department under the direction of Mrs. W. E. Lowe drew admiring crowds and a glorious sight it was with its wealth of beauty and color, the prize blooms from the gardens of Cleve land county. Gladioli, dahlias, roses, cosmos, daisies, snaps and potted plants. Here again the judges found difficulty In awarding prizes. Tuesday was school day and the school booths and projects were the centre of attraction, and an in teresting display they made. Teach ers and students have been working for months planning and prepar ing and the results are gratifying. It doesn't seem possible that school could be so much sheer fun.
