SINCE January 1, 1909, forty-
-ee state and territorial legis-
tres have been in session. Of

pertaining to tuberculosis; eight
others have considered such leg-

this number 64 were passed.

In commenting on our editorial
of last week* concerning the
stocks of goods carried bv our
merchants Monday's Dallas
News contained the following :
The Herald carried about fif-
teen columns of dry goods adver-
tising in the issue from which
jtbe extract is taken, which calls
to mind the fact that when a
merchant has 5 nice stock of
merchandise he can hardly be
keot from advertising. He is
proud of his goods and eager to
tell the public about them. It is
the mossv old storekeeper with a
mossy old stock who dosen’t
want to advertise.
GREAT CORN DM
Forty-Two Counties to Exhibit
at Coming State Fair.
CORN DAY A FEATURE.
Boys' Club Will Be Organized—Dairy
and Bee Exhibit—Exposition
Begins October 16.
Visitors to the twenty-fourth annual
meeting of the State Fair of Texas,
which opens at Dallas Saturday, Oc-
tober 16, and continues sixteen days,
will find a marked Improvement in the
agricultural department. When it is
taken into consideration that Texas
has 137,865,000 acres of land unculti-
vated, it i-3 plainly seen that the man-
agement of the Fair has the proper
incentive to make this department a
paramount feature of each exposition.
Forty-two counties have secured space
for the exhibition of^their farm, or-
chard and garden products. This is
the largest number in the history of
the Fair, and will exemplify in a way
as never before, the rich agricultural
resources of the state. Although the
$2,000 in individual and county ex-
hibits create a good humored and
spirited rivalry among the agricul-
turalists of the state, the benefit that
the exhibitors receive from a display
of their products at the Fair ts incal-
culable. Great railroad systems have
arranged to give stopover privileges at
Dallas during the Fair to all hom**-
seekers, for the purpose of furnishing
a rare opportunity of coming in direct
contact with the people of various por-
tions of the state and there see and
inspect the diversified products

scattered about the main plaza of the
grounds. The erection of " the agrlcul-j
tural building,'which covers an acre in ’
extent, brought the Fair last year thir-
ty-two county exhibits, which for ar-
tistic arrangement and varied display.
Could not be equalled anywhere else
in the united States. This year the
display will be larger and superior in
quality. West Texas, where thou
sands of immigrants are securing
homes annually, will send every
variety of grasses, corn, cotton,
fruits, vegetables, sugar cane, etc.
South Texas will send its rice,
corn, cotton, citrus fruits, vege
tables of ever kind. East Texas,
where associations have been formed
for the purpose, has promised a won-
derful exhibition of the farm, orchard
and garden products of that section
of the state. Central Texas has proni
ised an exhibit eclipsing that Of last
year.
Much interest centers around the
corn show and the Boys’ Corn Club
Day at thb Fair. Cash prizes totalling'
$400 Will he awarded In the corn di
vision. This money is divided Into
prizes ranging from $1 to $50. Ever?
farmer in Texas is urged to send ten
ears of corn tk> the Fair, as there are
over fifty of these prizes to be con-
tested for and the chances of winning
should create an unusual’ contest.

clared, cause great interest among the
farmers and the sons* of farmers of the
state In the raising of this crop. It
