"I could have done that!"
That's the comment many
people make as they look through
the many exhibits at the Exeter
Fall Fair, and it's probably true,
The fair is a show case for
people with varied talents and it
isn't necessary to be an expert
to take home some of the prize
Money and provide you with rib-
bons to show to your relatives
next time they drop in.
Looking through the fair prize
list shows you can enter every-
thing from poetry to an aged
bull—or both if you're so in-
clined.
You may be a whiz at making
grape jam or molasses cookies
and even if you may not look
your best in a granny night-
gown, you can still enter it at
the fair. The judges won't even
ask you to model it.
Many area residents take a
great deal of pride in their ex-
hibits at the fair, and each year
a few more get the urge and
become regular exhibitors.
Perhaps this year YOU'LL be
the one!
Prize lists are now available
from secretary Garnet Hicks or
they may be picked up at The
Times-Advocate.
One glimpse through it may
show you some ways of fatten-
ing up the family budget. Why
not consider it and be able to
tell your friends you were a
champion exhibitor at the Ex-
eter Fair. It's not all that dif-
ficult and the sections are varied,
Draws will
help budget
Once again area farmers and
merchants have been generous
in making donations to the Ex-
eter Agricultural Society. Many
prize winners will receive added
specials donated bybusinessmen,
but fair goers in general will
also have a chance at the spoils.
A draw will be made at the
dance on Thursday and the prizes
would be welcomed in any family
concerned with rising food costs.
The first ticket drawn will win
one hind quarter of beef donated
by Fi: .;is Meat Market, Stan
Frayne and Centralia Farmers'
Supply Ltd.
Mac Hodgert will be donating
a half of pork for the second
prize winner.
One dressed lamb, courtesy of
R. D. Etherington, will go to the
person in possession of the third
ticket pulled.
All of the meat will be cut
and wrapped by Exeter Frozen
Foods.
Tickets to participate in the
draw will be on sale during the
Fair and will sell for 25 cents
or five for $1.00.
Giant of the harvest fields, the
John Deere 105 Self-Propelled

even greater efficiency.

BY D. G. INGLIS,
EXTENSION ASSISTANT
FOR HURON COUNTY.
The harvesting of white beans
has started in some areas of the
county, and the complete crop will
be mature within seven to ten
days. A touch of frost was re-
ported in some of the low lying
areas and may have an effect on
the crop.
Spring grains have pretty well
all been harvested in Huron with
the farmers now gathering the
remaining straw.
A substantial acreage of fall
wheat has been planted in the
county.
The 1967 corn crop looks like
it will yield high if it can escape
any early frosts. To date, it
seems to be behind in maturity
nearly two weeks.
Turnip men

John Deere product engineers seldom think any-
thing is "good enough". That's why the conven-
ient, efficient, big-capacity Self-Propelled
Combines are even better this year. Here are
some reasons:
DESIGN REFINEMENTS include a longer,
stronger clean-grain elevator plus increased
brawn and durability of components subject to
heavy stress and wear.
