IRKING FIERI OF CIIIER
BE
Meeting of Directors and Chairmen Friday Night Was One
of Dominant Enthusiasm ; Various Reports Most
Satisfactory in Nature.
(By Henry C. Fuller.)
BROWN county is going to have a
fair not only a fair but a real
good fair one that wilL be a credit not
only to this part of the country but of
the entire central vest Texas arear
and Oils Is saying a great deal. The
fact that the lair is going to be a cer-
tainty was one of the dominant fea-
tures of the meeting of the board of
directors and associate directors of
tho Chamber of Commerce at its of-
fice last night. Fair was in the at-
mosphere and the atmosphere was of
the optimistic kind the kind that wins
and makes all worthy undertakings
contagious and possible.
No date has been agreed upon but
that will come later and automatically ;
when other plans have been worked
out. Earl Looney chairman of the;
Agricultural and Live Stock commit-
tee sounded the keynote when he said
Brownwood and Brown county must
have a. fair and that the undertaking
started last autumn should be revived
with. greater energy and perhaps along
newpr and more progressive lines. He
said the farmers and stock raisers an1
poultry people of Brown county want-
ed a fair In fact were enthusiastic
over the matter and now that the out-
look for a prosperous year was good
no opportunity should be lost in get-
ting to work on the .tentative lair
plans as soon as possible and pushing
the project to a successful conclusion.
Reference was made to fairs held last
year at other places in Central "West
Texas all of which Mr. Looney de-
clared were most successful and high-
ly creditable to the places where they
were held. He said he had not decid-
ed in his -own mind just what arrange-
ment should or would be necessary in i
regard to securing suitable buildings
in which to hold the fair but that it
should be held thsre was not the least
particle of dissenting opinion. He
thought the matter shpuld.be taken up
nnd pushed at once and not wait until
the time limit became an embarrass-
ing feature as was the case to large
extent last year.
Griffin Talks Fair.
O. P. Grifiia said he heartily second-
ed the remarks of Mr. Looney in that
Brown county should have a fair and
the sooner the plans were laid the
better the fair would be. Just what
these plans should be he was unable
to say but he wanted to impress upon
tie minds of the Chamber of Com-
merce one fact which would remain
uppermost and that is in securing or
preparing the necessary buildings It
must be borne in mind that such build-
ings were usd only about three or
four days oat of each year and there-
fore the overhead expense in such
cases was apt to become a liability of
an embarrassing nature. He men-;
tioned the fact that the livestock men
of-Browawood had offered to let the
fair management use the big stalls and
barns near the Frisco depot for
keeping their stock exhibits which he
regarded as being very liberal and
worthy consideration. "Whatever the
nature of the fair Mr- Griffin said he
was heartily in favor of having it and
was ready and willing to do what he
could toward making it a success. He
thought the details might be worked
out by a committee or committees ap-
pointed by the Chamber of Commerce.
Schrocder Advocates Promoter.
Hans Schroeder in the matter of
.having the fair suggested that there
was in his opinion only one way to put
a fair over successfully and that was
to place the entire project in the hands
of a promoter who would devote his
entire time to organizing securing the
place the buildings allotting the va-
rious places for exhibitors in fact
making every detail of arrangement)
and then turning it over to a board of
managors of directors whon it was
reatjy to open for exhibits. He refer-
red to the fact that a number of towns
and cities in Texas staged first class
fairs last year'nd he had it .on good
authority that the majority of them
were carried to succe?s by the pro-
rooter plan. He said so far as he
knew it would cost about 10 per cent
of -the amount subscribed for a fair to
nav the nromotor and cot everything
ready for exmjition. Mr. Schroeder
took the position that what was every
body's business was nobody's business
ana tap oiner ic now generauy waiiuu

lor trfyotner ieuow wno was waning
to hear from the other fellow or some
body else and as a result no proposi-
tion worth while ever succeeded in
getting away from the starting point
The matter last night on motion of
W. D. Armstrong was referred to a
committee of three who are to be
named by President Glanville and re-
port at some future meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Baby Beef Clubs.
The matter t)f Baby Beef Clubs came
up for discussion and it developed
thai there was a Baby Beef Club pro-
gram of most interesting nature now
at work in Brown county the club at
Brooke Smith for instance having
twelve active members! It also de-
veloped that a certain -Brown county
stockman had offered to furnish a
large number of calves to members of
Baby Beef Clubs in order to encourago
the work of this interesting industrial
feature and this was discussed brief-
ly. O. P. Griffin speaking on the sub-
ject said the time used to be when
stockmon would pay little if any prac-
tical attention to the matter of rais
ing baby beef but held steadily on the
old line of raising beef cattle to ma-
tuier age. feeding them looking after
them paying tasos on them and finally
selling them in most cases on a mar-
ket that netted no real returns. Meu
who raise hogs for market have long.
since learned that- the time to sail a
hog is when he is between eight
months and" one year old. Crowd a
pig from the time it can eat until it is
one year old and then sell it The
same rule applied to calves holds that
a calf should be fed to the limit until
it was about eight months or. one year
old and then sold. It was a matter of
fact that this kind of beef was not
bringing a great deal better price than
older beef cattle and was coming to bet
a matter of greater relish in the mar-j
kets generally. For .quick and profit-
able results baby beef was suggested!
as the coming solutiou of the livestock !
problem so far as the mea features
are concerned. Baby boef clubs or-
ganized tbrougWut the county are val-
uable from many points of view. In
the first place they are profitable and 4
secondly they give the boys who are
in charge of the baby beef work" an
opportunity to study livestock at close
range and in a way that will give in-
formation obtainable in no other way.
wr. Vji inm wiis ul m opinion tujit i
care should be exercised in niacins the !
calves to the end that those in whose
r 1 . i . - t
nanus me worK was 10 oc carried on
were ia 'fact interested in the problem
is a vital way. The Chamber of Com-:
mercc stands pledged to aid and as-;
sist the matter of promoting the baby
beef proposition in every possible way.
As to Trade Extension.
The trade extension committee re-
ported that the matter had been taken
up and gone into in a somewhat su-
perficial way owing to time but the
opinion of the committee was that
trade excursions should bo operated
by the business interests of Brown-
wood during the coming year if for
no other purpose than to got acquaint-
ed znd create a better understanding
between the business people of Brown-
wol and the various towns to which
tho trade extension trips might be car-
Tied. The outstanding feature of such
trips it was pointed out is not to take
away from the smaller towns as has
been erroneously suggested in some
quarters but to let the people of the j GrcenvSiloV ano( at Sherman and. the subject probnbly would go for-
small towns know that their interests! Amarillo. The temperature nt Amar-ir'l early r.cst week and that all

hand along the road of progress. In
other words if the business people of
Brownwood and tho business
of all tae other towns become' better j
acquainted each will be better pre-!
pared to understand what is best and
most neded for the industrial and
commercial development of their re
spective localities. This idea Is the;
.ium total of the desires of the people
who organize and carry out the trade b
extension trips. The development
idea Is stripped of every vestige of
selfishness and is entirely of a mu-
tual nature. The committee will re-
port later as. to further details ot the'
trade extension development idea.
