County Agent J. B. Daniels
points out the following ten
reasons why farmers should m
exhibit their products at the
county fair.
1. Improves your knowldge
of the best type of your pro
duct, enabling you to get an
ideal to work to. This is an es
sential factor in making a suc
cess of farming.
2. Broadens your aquaint
ance among farmers and others
interested in the best type of
your product. This is a great
advantage in many ways.
3. Introduces your product
to many prospective buyers.
4. Secures for your product
recognition among the leading
growers of your particular
product.
5. Showing the product at
the fair is one of the best
means of getting publicity for
it and its ovfner, through tha
press and other ways. The ac
counts of the fair will be sent
all over the state.
6. It is often, in the case of
those who have not shown
their products very mcuh, the
turning point up the road to
success.
7. Helps to increase the in
terest in your particular pro
duct. A large showing of a
good product is often the in
fluencing factor that causes
persons, as well as entire com
munities, to become convinced
of the popularity and value of
your product. Remember “In
numbers there is strength".
