long standing. Most of these societies own their exhibition 

 grounds with the buildings and equipment. There are 48 of the 

 fairs which may be called minor or community fairs; a few of 

 these have grounds, but most of them show in tents or halls. 



For two years the larger fairs have been inspected by repre- 

 sentatives of the Department. This last year, all of them, 

 county and community, have been inspected and scored. This 

 score, together with such other general information as is avail- 

 able, will be the basis for the prize money allotment of this 

 next year. In addition to the State prizes, medals have been 

 offered for certain exhibits and for special individual accomplish- 

 ments, while in many cases help has been given in rearranging 

 premium lists and in other ways. From the reports of the in- 

 spectors we learn that with four exceptions the fairs were more 

 successful than in 1920.
