Crop growers encouraged to exhibit at fair
Morrow County growers are
encouraged to bring a sample of
their crops in to the fair this year
for exhibition. “The Commercial
Crops exhibit at the Morrow
County Fair is a great way to
display and promote your pro­

County Fair Premium Book,
grain exhibits should be at least
a half a bushel, plus enough ex­
tra to allow for cleaning losses.
Exhibits shuld be cleaned before
submitting them this year.
All grain exhibits will be judg­
ed on uniformity, freedom from
foreign material, soundness and
on weight per bushel. Grasses
and hay exhibits are welcome as
well. Silage should be at least five

intent of the lot. Alfalfa hay ex­
hibits require three bales produc­

entries in to the fair also.
Other possible commercial
crops entries are field com.

ing skill in the 4-H clothing
program.
New this year at Morrow
County Fair is a Button Sewing
contest for beginning clothing
members. A “Beginner” is a first
year 4-H*er in the fourth or fifth
grade Contestants will hand-sew

it were to be used for fastening

The contest will take place in
the 4-H annex on Saturday bet­
ween 1:30 and 3:30 p m. Two
hour are allowed for the contest
so members may compete at their
own pace. Beginning 4-H con­
testants appreciate a supportive
