The vegetable grower, in order to be able to select samples of vegetables for exhibition intelli- gent hould be familiar with the points which are considered by the judges when placing the prizes. In_ sel a sample lot of vegetables of any kind for hibition, there are three general things which should be considered: First, the “Market qual- i Second, the signs of “good breeding;’ Third, 1 uniformity;” given in the order of their im- portance. Market qualities are considered first be- cause the value of the product on tue market is -med to be of great importance, and no sample can be weak in any one point under this head and still rank high in that respect. Under good breed- ing, one should observe how near all of the individ- ual specimens selected approach the ideal type of the variet for instance, if the samples selected under one variety show two or three different forms, as they often do, they may be considered as very poor breeding. Good breeding is of value because the highest market qualities are not uniformly obtained in any variety unless good breeding has been fol- lowed. General uniformity might, in a way, come under the two preceding heads, but it is more con- venient to consider it separately. Under general uniformity, one should look for uniformity of size and general appearance. Uniformity contributes very much to the attractiveness of the gample lot selected for exhibition purposes. In the following notes will be given some of the points to look for in the more important vegetables. In Potatoes—the most desirable market quali- ties are medium or medium large size, smooth, even surface and shallow eyes, and freedom from knob- biness, hollow tubers, or any such defects. The tubers should be of uniform shape and short and stocky, or longer according to the type of the varie- ty, but in no case should they be very slender or show very much tendency towards tapering ends, because, with very few exceptions, these are indi- cations of badly rundown seed, and therefore of poor breeding. Onions—should be well cured, because unless well cured they will not keep. They sheuld be pull- ed at least ten days. before they are to be exhibited, and if they are rather green, even earlier, so that the stems will be well dried and the entire onion well cured by the time they are to be shown. In the curing process, they should not be left out in the sun too long, so as to become blistered; neither should they be rained on, because that g - «8 them a dull appearance. The market wants iuem bright anu sparkling. With the common field varieties, there no special object in getting them of large size. To show good breeding, they should all be of exactly the same shape. When ever an :xhibitor permits flat onions, for instance, to be mixed with round onions, he shows that he has no {d.a of breeding whatever and should be marked down on that score. Uniformity in size is hére very desirable, because it appeals to the eye. Cabbage—heads should be fresh and firm, free from worm injury, and from any signs of black rot or other disease. The slightest indication of black rot would bar it for storage purposes. This may be de- tected by black streaks or spots on the leaves, either on the outside or within the head, or by black specks in the stem where the head is cut off. Size is im- portant. Cauliflower—should be trimmed as for market, with the leaves cut off flush with the head. The head should be of nice, clear white, and not over- mature or brown. Celery—stems should be free from rust spots, of fair size, but free from pithiness, tender and of good flavor. ‘Tomatoes—should be of good size, with smooth surface, preferably of the color desired by the mar- ket, free from cracks, and should have thick flesh, so that they will slice well. Cucumbers—should be straight and smooth. They should have a thick flesh of good flavor, free from bitterness, and a small seed bearing portion. They should be divided into slicing cucumbers and the large pickling cucumbers. ‘Squash—should always be thoroughly ripened, un- less ‘they must be exhibited so early that they have not had time to mature. Roughness is looked for as an indieation of quality, and a large neck is par- ticularly desirable. Summer squash should be very tender. When so far developed that the surface be- ins to become hard, they are no longer desirable for market. Pampkins—should be divided into sugar pum kins and field pumpkins. Sugar pumpkins should show good quality and form rather than extra large size. ield pumpkins should show desirable form and heavy weight. They should not compete with other pumpkins or squash of any kind. In Sweet Corn—one should look for well filled ears, with fairly deep kernels and clear white color, unless it is some ¥° iden or black kerneled variety. The kernels should be in straight rows, except in the case of the Country Gentleman, which naturally has crooked rows. Size is important. The stage of maturity will depend upon the time of exhibition. GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW Beets—should not be over four inches in diame- ter, and preferably not over three, because they tena to become tough and stringy as they become larger, and undesirable for table use. Turnips—should be divided into two classes, the common turnip and the Swedish turnip or rutabaga. For table. use these should be comparatively small, tender and of good flavor.° For live stock they may, of course, be larger. Radishes—should be free from pithiness and of good flavor. Carrots—for table should be tender and not ex- tra large. Sr rene be of good size, and should be smooth, which shows that they have been.grown in a good, mellow soil. In Root Crops—grown for stock, as mangels, sugar beet, carrots, turnips, etc., size is probably the most important factor, but smoothness of sur- face, good breeding and uniformity are also im- portant.

So long as I am probate judge I shall attend to the duties of the office tn the future as I have done in the past. Beleiving that you appreciate the efforts of one who has tried to do his whole duty in the past and promising a continuance of such services if renominated and re-elected. I am you obediant serv’t.

Iam heartily in accord with the platform adopted by the republican state convention, and in sympathy with the objects of the Northern Minnesota Development Associa- tion. The above statement of facts, in brief, constitutes my platform, and upon the sameI base my re- uest for support of the voters of this District at the primaries on Sept. 20th. Ishall endeavor to meet as many residents of the district as possible prior to the day of their casting their ballots but if I am un- able tosee anythey can rest assured that I am not the tool or represen- tative of any clique orfaction but instead am merely ambitious to place myself in position where I can aid, so far as my talent may per- mit, in the great work of develop- ing Northern Minnesota.
