It makes no difference what you are growing or raising. if it has commercial value you compete for a premium. Watch for our premium lists, which appear in the Evening T'ele- gram, Friday of each week, or bet- ter stil] write to the secretary, Mr. E. R. Schurman for the premiums in which you are particularly in- terested . This year this fair is inclusive and not exclusive in any particular, We have endeavored to include ev- erything grown or raised on the farm and many other t hings made for home use or for sale, whenever it was practical to do so. Thig has premiums sceming small in many cases. Our idea be- ing to make it possible for every grower and his family to be repre- sented by an exhibit in some line. This will also help make the com- petition within classes greater and the honor of a blue ribbon the more to be appreciated. While at the same time we have tried to make the premiums large enough to easily pay the cost of exhibiting. The time to begin preparing for the fair is now. Some of the crops are already gathered and no more of them will be grown bhefore next February. Save the best to enter for the fair. It will soon be time to cut forage for fall. Much of the corn is already in. Look over the following list of premiums on “hay and forage crops” and then select your best and lay it by for the fair.
