I have Just received a copy of the N. C. State Fair catalog which reminds me that many com munity and county fairs will be held during the next six weeks. Every gardener should take an Interest In the local fair and al so the State fair. If you have anything worth exhibiting you should take pride In showing It. How many times have you stood in front of a prise winn ing flower, vegetable or fruit at a fair and said, either to those with you or to yourself, ‘Tye got a better one than that home In the garden right now.” lAnd you may be absolutely right. -Only, having It winning a blue ribbon on the show table and having It growing In the garden are two entirely different things. The point Is to get it from the gar den tp the show table and still have It good enough to win over Ihe other entries. Before you enter an exhibit, read over carefully the instruct ions in the catalog. Be sure to enter the exhibit in the proper class, and have it properly la beled. If the class calls for a plate of 12 specimens be sure that you have twelve - no more and no less. In vegetable exhibits, speci mens should be of best, marke table size except where the cata log calls for the “largest” as in the case of pumpkin. Where the class calls for a plate, tray, pack or bushel, the inidvidual speci mens should be as nearly alike in size, shape and color as possible and should have 'the true char acteristics of that pariciilar vari ety. Potatoes need not t>e washed unless it will improve their ap pearance. However, if not wash ed they should be brushed with Kinston 'tt'ck) THIS the BIG SHOW BRIMMING OVER WITH INNOVATIONS, WONDROUS SURPRISES ft A MYRIAD OF UNPRECEDENfED FEATURES FROM AIL STRANGE LANDS COO—PEOPLE—600 150 PERFORMERS 250 WILD ANIMALS, INCLUDES A GIRAFFE AND HIPPOPOTAMUS 15—ELEPHANTS—15 5000—SEATS—SOOC 57.000 MAY EXPENSE 51.700.000 INVESTEC GORGEOUS STREET PARADE 11 m° TitCE MUT 2 * I Ml.

Other chickens pick at birds in this condition; killing them. ANSWER: No- Birds suffering a soft brush or cloth. Flower exhibits call foot per fection. Good stems, good healthy foliage, and a perfect bloom are essential. It is important to have flowers in good condition at the time of judging, A rose bloom should be from one-half to three-fourths open - a tight bud will not be consiered by the judges. Fruits, such as apples and pears, should have true varietal characteristics, should be well colored and not over-ripe. They should be free from disease andj Insect damage. Stems must not be removed from apples and pears. All specimens In a plate or tray should be uniform In size, and color. tram prolapse seldom make a recovery. If the prolapsed bird Is located before the other chic kens destroy It, the flesh is en tirely safe for table use. The condition anises when the ovlT duct' becomes loose and pro trudes from the vent of the bird. It is not a disease but a physical condition. Some peo ple think a high com diet may be related to prolapse. You might as well expect the ap pearance of prolapes on a small scale In your flock. QUESTION: Is there any way I can conveniently figure out when Is the best time to market my steers? ANSWER: Yes. The price re ceive for beef cattle varies with grade and the month when sold. Each grade has a seasonal price pattern. Price changes and pat terns are Influenced by the sup ply and kind of cattle marketed each month and by seasonal changes in consumer demand for different cuts of meat. Seasonal price changes for different grades in North Carolina are very close to those at Chicago, except for the “prime” grade. A new publication, “Seasonal Vari ations in Beef Prices,” Extension Folder No. 110, can help you market your cattle at the right time. You can get a free copy from your county agent or by' writing to “Division of Agricul-1 tural information, N. C. State College, Raleigh.” Rose Pully, M. D.
