The material is here to overflow all the stock barns and the agricultural building and the fair board urge every farmer to save something, for the Fair to be held October 6, 7, 8, and 9. If you are too busy to prepare the exhib its, use the following methods for preserving them for the' time bejng and then notify the Manager of the Fair if you need further help. How to Prepare Exhibits 1. Specimens for exhibit purposes must be gathered either at or just before the tlme of harvest. 2. Grain should be gathered when Just start ing to ripen. 3. Better results are obtained by dipping the butts of grain stalk in salt water or brine im mediately after gathering, however, it Is not absolutely necessary tbls be done.. 4. Tie the bundles securely at the butts and hang In a cool dark place with the heads down until cured. .6. Cover the heads with a newspaper or sack until ready to exhibit. 6. Show specimens of grain bundles should be at leasj 4 Inches In diameter. 7. Gather affalfavor clover at the time they will make the best showing then take at once to a cool dark place and hang with beads down until cured. 8. Gather fruit when a litle under ripe. 9. Root crops cannot be gathered until ripe or nearly ripe. 10. Care must be taken that roots are not brok en on root crops when harvesting. .To Prevent Shrinkage. 11. Uniformity counts in all exhibits and when two or more specimens of the same size are to be shown it is necessary that they all be the same size, color, and shape as nearly as possible. Don't say you have some good material for an exhibit but haven't time to save it, but start now to think about the Fair and help us fill the exhibit buildings full. Last yearns showing was a disgrace to the County so lets make up for it this fall. R. L.
