Right Selection of
Exhibits for Fair
Uniformity, Color and Qual
ity Essential Factors.
Doing Their Dance for Charity
The importance of proper selection
of fair exhibits cannot be overem
phasized. First of all, the exhibitor
should knew how to select and pack
his fruit and vegetables, if he expects
to be a strong competitor for the
prize.
Proper selection of exhibit fruit and
vegetables should begin with a thor
ough knowledge of the varieties and
the requirements for which they are
selected. Let us say we are selecting
a plate of Commercial No. 1 Hen
Davis apples, thai will range 24
inches and up in diameter. It Is gen
erally the best plan to select a little
above the average In size for the vari
ety, should large, oversized specimens
be picked. The Individual specimen in
this case should he the true shape and
color of the lien Davis variety. It
should be free from all Insect stings
anil injury, and should contain no evi
dence of any disease or physical de
fect. In other words, the specimen
should be as near perfect as possible.
In starting out, select specimens of
fruits and vegetables that conform as
nearly to the perfect type as possible.
Then pick all of the specimens for ex
hibit pui poses as nearly nlike as pos
sible in size, color and shape, keeping
in mind that when the judge takes
your vegetables and fruits he consid
ers uniformity, color, quality and free
dom from blemish.

Federal Grades Favored
for Apples in Barrels
United States grades for barreled
apples recommended In 1028 and adopt- ;
ed as the Official grades In a number
of states producing barreled apples In
cluding Wisconsin. Illinois. Ohio, West
Virginia, New Jersey and North and
South Carolina, have been promulgated
by the secretary of agriculture under
the provisions of the food product in
spection law as the official grades for
federal Inspection at shipping point
and In the receiving markets.
At the last session of the New York
state legislature an amendment was
made to the state apple-grading law
which will make It possible for New
York growers and shippers to use the
federal grades in lieu of the New
York state grades.
The specillcations of the grades re
main substantially the same with the
exception that the color requirements
for Baldwin and Black Twig have been

With the co-operation of civic and
religious leaders throughout the Uni
ted States, the Near East Relief has
inaugurated its campaign for the
second observance of International
Golden Rule Sunday on December 7.
The aim is to raise funds to provide
during the coming year for 100,000
orphan children under American care
la Bible Lands. More than five mil
lion dollars is the minimum needed.
Setting aside of one day each year
in honor of the Golden Rule as a guide
to individual, national and interna
tional life, is an American idea which
has been approved and adopted by
twenty-three nations. The day, Decem
ber 7th, will be observed throughout
Europe and in many non-European
countries, such as Japan, Korea and
Palestine.

"Chevon" Is Name Given

Hereafter, if the efforts of a number

It. therefore, approves the name
"chevon."
The word "chevon" was created,
after long consideration of many sug
gestions, by organizations representing
the principal Angora-goat producing
region, it was made by combining
parts of two French words, "chevre,"
meaning goat, and '"mouton," meaning
mutton. In other words, "chevon"
means goat mutton.

ndded to the list. The movement was
started in America by the Near East
Relief as a new, striking and inten
sive method of raising funds for the
feeding of the children in American
orphanages in Bible Lands.
On this day December 7 Ameri
cans are asked to eat a dinner of
soup, bread and stew, or of corn grits
and condensed milk, or of rice, maca
roni and cocoa. As they eat this
novel meal, they are asked to remem
ber that, coarse aa it is, it is all that
holds body and soul together for the
orphaned boys and girls overseas, to
whom th( ( lemental factor of hunger
is each day's vital problem.
People here are reminded that, how
ever poor the fare may seem, they can
at least have two bowls of soup if
they like, and two slices of bread.
As they finish their second serving,
they are asked to remember that the
orphan wards of the Near East Relief
can hnve only one serving, for there
is not enough to allow more. They
are asked to remember that these chil
drem exist on such a diet 3G5 days
out of each year, and they will not

less more bread and more soup are
provided.
Those who eat the Golden Rule
dinner will not lack distinguished
company. Such a meal will be serv
ed on Sunday in the homes of kings,
prime ministers and presidents.
The Golden Rule Is a universal
creed. It is a common denominator
of all religious and social welfare or
ganizations. It is a test of cur re
ligion and our sincerity. Golden Rule
Sunday Is u day for personal stock
taking, for measuring our lives by a
universally accepted standard of life
to ascertain how nearly we have at
tained to an ideal. It is a day of
plain living and high thinking.
The dinner, however, is not an end
in Itself. It is an occasion, in the
words of President Coolidge, "for
bringing to the minds of those who are
prosperous the charitable require
ments of those who are In adversity."
On Golden Rule Sunday the till kMtll
of all nations will be seated figura
tively at the same table, pa- taking lit
erally of the same food, thinking the
tamo thoughts and entering into a
new realisation of the brotherhood of
mankind.
