All these prizes and many more are to be given at the state fair next fall. j Ask them If they know how to grow potatoes, pumpkins, squashes, corn, pop corn, etc. Ask how many of them like water melons or musk melons. The reason so many boys and girls In Oregon do not grow water melons is because they are afraid the other boys will steal them, ir they alt grow water melons theie will be no one to steal. Ask them If they know how to feed chickens. If they buy three set tings of eggs from one neighbor and three hens from another, and In March put the two together they will probably raise some prize-winners for tbe fair. The children of Oregon can double the egg production In three years. Ask them If they know that the size of the pumpkin does not depend upon the size of the boy or the girl w ho plants the seed. I know a girl six years old who raised corn 14 feet high. l.et us show people that we are the most alive children in the rid by 75.AVO out nf our 12.'., 0ml children exhibiting at the country fairs, and 3."i.ono at the state fal- l.sst year 14,000 children In Iowa had exhibits at fairs.
