PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE—Marse Grant, E. B. Garrett, Jr., R. F. Bennett, Wal ter Straus, J. O. Wells, W. M. Shaw ★ ON THE COVER To hear a gardener talk during the growing sea son, you’d think he’s having the poorest luck ever —no rain, too much rain, blights, bugs, wilt, weeds, etc. The way he talks, it will be a miracle if he raises anything at all, to say nothing of hav ing something outstanding enough to put on dis play at the Harvest Festival. But the Ecusta Harvest Festival is the payoff—and this year’s event should be the biggest and best yet. Charlie Cook is the man behind the mechanical plow on the cover. Top right is an attractive in dividual display; the middle picture shows the judges admiring the beauty of some zinnias en tered last year; and Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Harrell, last year’s champions, are shown with one of the several prizes they took home. To the left of the Harrells is another individual display, featuring gladioli. ★ PRINTED ON ECUSTA 40-LB.
