The real success of a fair, whether it be one emlbracing a county or only a local community, depends more on the number of exhibits. That a farmer cannot display a great variety of superior products should not prevent him from entering at least a few. Even though a prize is not won, the effort to win is stimulating and beneficial to every exhibitor. In these days of home demonstration agents more attention is being given to exhibits by farm women and girls, and these should be encouraged in every possible way. There are few farmers who could not make a creditable exhibit of some kind, and no farm should be unrepresented in its local fair.--Exchange.
