WEATHER REPORT
THEM
Harvest will he on in Canadian
county very soon, and farmers who
are intending to make an exhibit o?
grain at the township fairs and at
the Canadian county fair are advis-
ed to select their grain samples ju
before the binder enters the field
Start work now on your fair exhibit,
and keep at it until fair time. If
every exhibitor will do .this it will
mean that the township and county
fairs will be the best ever. Just be-
fore you start the binder into your
field, examine your grain and then
make your selections for the fair,
select nice, straight heads, and cut
the stalks just above the ground.
Place this grain in a dry, shady
place where mice and other rodent-?
cannot injure it, and then make up
your grain, bundles for the fair. At
threshing time, save out enough of
the same variety of grain for exhi-
bition purposes.
County Agent W« t will be tria l l<<
lender any possible .1 istanee in th*
selection of fair exhibits. The main
point is, make your selections just ar?
soon as possible, and to remember
that quality counts.
By the time the county fair season
arrives, the Canadian county fair will
in all probability be housed in 't
permanent location, and every citi-
zen of the county should cooperate
in making the coming fair the
est and best ever held in the count -
