The first agricultural fair held in the I'pper Valley was voted a suc cess. It was a revelation to many to know that such a variety of fruits and vegetables could be grown here. The awarding of first prize to t'het Walton In the corn contest did cot meet with popularapproval, for none of the ears contained more tbau two kernels. The judges, who were men of commercial training, thought they would bring more money. If ma mi. fact ii red into pipes, than the other exhibits that were grown merely ns food stuff. Harney Cooper "got the gate"ou his exhibit In the potato contest. It seems Harney tried to ring In mangel-wurzels for sweet po tatoes. The greatest Interest cen tered around the watermelon exhibit of Mr. Mcintosh. It was the largest melon ever witnessed by those pres ent, and all were anxious to know how he grew It to such dimensions, and to gratify their desires he gave out the following account: "When 1 dechk'd to exhibit at the fnlr, I called upon Hay Uabson, president of the Valley Crest Grange, for any suggestions thnt he could offer for growing watermelons to an abnor mal size. Kay, whom you all know maintains an experimental station in Ills back yard and Is always eager to Impart Information concerning agricultural stunts, confessed that watermelons were a short suit with him, but perhaps he could help me out, and, placing his forefinger against his dome of thought, was soon lost lu meditation. Suddenly he ejaculated: 'I have It! 1 have It!! Secure a piece of hose pipe and at tach one end to the melon and the other to the Irrigating ditch.' I did not place much faith In thesugges tlon, but acted upon It, however. Several days after I saw on object In the melon patch that resembled Charlie Stelnhanser stalled with n load of 'near hay,' but upon closer Investigation discovered It was the watermelon grown to gigantic pro portions. I Immediately discon nected the hose to stop further growth, as I saw nnother problem I was up ngalnst, that of transporta tion, I called up John Goldsbury and asked lilni how I was to get the melon over to the fair. 'That will lie easy,' said John. 'I will call n speclnl meeting of the Progressive Associa tion and they will talk It over.' " See frank Chandler When you want n demonstration.
