Continued from p;ige 1. column 2 

 in the county and should make this a real 

 live poultry show. Let's do it! 



Then there is the fruit exhibit. For 

 several years some of our fruit growers 

 in the hill sections have been showing pro- 

 fessional exhibitors what fruit looks like. 

 We hope every fruit grower will show 

 this year. Opportunities to exhibit run 

 from plates of 5 to roadside stand exhibits 

 in which 24 square feet are allowed. In 

 this class, prizes are $2.5, $15, and $10. 

 In the barrel classes $15, $12 and $10 

 aie offered for 1 barrel each of Mcintosh, 

 Wealthy, King and Gravenstein. Prizes 

 of $10, $7.50 and $5.00 are offered on 

 boxes of Wealthy, Mcintosh and Graven- 

 stein. So pack a box or a barrel. If 

 you are not sure of your packing, try for 

 the best 50 Mcintosh, Wealthy or other 

 variety. 



Peaches, pears, plums, grapes and crab 

 apples also have plate prizes offered. 



Perhaps you have a fine garden. In 

 the vegetable classes, there are good 

 piizes oifered for collections and plates 

 of the common varieties. With the num- 

 ber of fine potatoes grown in the county, 

 we should have a peck class that would 

 open everyone's eyes. Or perhaps you 

 are intei'ested in flowers. If so, there is 

 a fine opportunity to show your wares. 



Tuesday, October 2, is Boys' and Girls' 

 Day. A live program has been arranged 

 which will prove attractive not only to 

 the boys and girls but to the adults as 

 well. See what the young folks are 

 doing. Watch the judging contests, races 

 and especially be on hand to see the big 

 club parade. This alone is worth the 

 price of admission.
