Wheat and Oat Fair Promised for August 1903
The Athens Wheat and Oat Fair will return in August 1903 with premiums on wheat and oats across nine Georgia counties. The committee led by O. T. Hussey will host contests awarding up to 75 dollars for top yields, while experts like T. B. Terry and James M. Smith are invited to speak on grain culture. Farmers must apply by March 1 1902 and submit certified measurements and samples by August 10, 1903.
