Start of the first race of the year with the new Mobile gate, Winner of the first, Lonella Gratton, 2.17%. IM, I3IGI3LIGHTS iiid ehhwn This week your FUI 0-PE'P re- porter left behind the "razzle-dazzle" of the C.N.E. and headed for the smaller towns of Ontario. The first port of call was in Kent County where the Ridgetown District Agri- cultural Society held their 93rd mn- nual exhibition. The crowds were gay and colorful. The atmosphere friendly. The mid- way offered a variety of entertain- ment. The ferris wheel, the Merry -go round, the scooter ride, the rocket- sensation,—all did a roaring busi- ness. The high pressure salesman ship of the C.N.E. was missing and this was all to the good. The out of town visitor could hardly fail to notice the air of ownership which was general. The crowds on the mid- way, in the grandstand and the throngs visiting the various booths obviously felt that this was THEIR by Your Ftil-O-Pep Reporter fair. The good natured neighbour- liness of the crowd emphasized this feeling of propritlorship. The farm ignipment display was the centre of attraction for many. In Ibis line N. L. Turner of Blenheim had a fine exhibit which drew large numbers of rural residents who were obviously combining business with .pleasure. In the Tri County Shorthorn Club Tent the talk as usual concerned feeds. and feeding problems. Your Reporter was repeatedly asked when FUL-O-PEP would be in greater supply and how it had been possible t0 maintain the same high quality - dnring these hectic years of general shortages. It was a real pleasure to point out that the main reason that FUL-O-PEP, was still a little difficult to obtain' in some areas was because of the absolute refusal on the part of the manufacturer to use inferior; ingredients. As a result FUL-O-PEP is still a feed second to none, a feed in which anality has —Phot.,o by Ful -O -Pep .Photographer M -M -M —'Von can see that we were wasting our time looking :it cattle and other exhibits at the Fair. This is one of the many fine samples of cooking and other exhibits shown by our good ladies. Photo by Full -O -pep Photographer PORT PERRY Judging of one of the classes of the Black And White Club (X-Xolttein) entries were the biggest aver. not beets sacrificed for quantity, The Tri County Shorthorn Club deserves congratulations for a job well done and President Peter Cam- eron, as well as Treasurer S. W. Pearce and Secretary J. C, McKinlay can indeed be proud of the club's contribution to the fair. The yougsters were far too busy to think of regular meals and con- sumed huge quantities of "pop" and hot-dogs. The elders did their share in this line, too, but were more in- clined to patronize the booth set up by the Beechwood Women's Insti- tute where Dinners and lunettes were served on both days of the fair. From Ridgetown your reporter travelled across country to Port Perry where yet another fair was in full swing. Here, as at Ridgetown, the atmosphere was gay and plea- sant. The crowds were in a festive mood -and the children were eagerly exploring the mytcries of the mid- way. Fort eery The Port Perry Fair more than maintained its reputation as one of the outstanding Ontario Fairs. Your Reporter was particularly interested in the showing put on by the Black and White Club (Holsteins) and entries were the biggest ever with a total of 128 and the efforts of this Club is to be commended for the work they have done in improving the !treed as was evidenced by the high quality of cattle that was shown. One of the highlights of interest'' was the pony race. Unfortunately our locat entries were not able to beat the Leggette entries from Oshawa who have been making a regular clears -tip .this Adson in Fall Fairs. Bob, Billy and David Leg- gette walked away with the honors, Next year we hope the local en- tries will have their revenge in this popular event. It was too bad the weatherman WAS not kinder to the large crowds that turned out but even the Wea- therman couldn't dampen their en- thusiasm and a good time was 7tad by all. Other details about the Fair in- cluding prize Winners will be found elsewhere in your paper. In closing we would like to con- gratulate the Fair Board headed by Fred G. Christie, President and ably supported by Alex Johns; Anson Gerrow, Armour McMillan, first Vice President, Ben Stilith, Diclt Woon, Secretary •Treasurer, Lloyd Lee, Frank Roney, Earl Martyin, Garnet Cochrane and James L. Crane in their untiring efforts in snaking the Fair this year the best . ever., ! • -.• Spring Growth The growth of children is not regular throughout the year. spring growth in height is, on the Average, almost Twice that of the fall.

Cantaloupes Grow On Pumpkin t Vines Cantaloupes from pumpkin vines are a new Soviet contribution to horticulture developed by b *entail botanist rained Serafima Lebedye- va. By grafting cantaloupe shoots on- to pumpkin vines, she has made it possible to grow this southern fruit in northern climes, for it appears the cold -resisting qualities of the more rugged pumpkin vine are ' transmitted to the cantaloupe. Also the period of growth is shortened in the process by anywhere from 80 to 18 days, says the Christian Science Monitor. All this is said to have been ac- complished without any deteriora- tion in quality, In fact, it is stated that in most cases the flavor is im- proved and the sugar content in- ' creased, and that the vines with cantaloupe graftings also give a bet- ter -than -average yield both of can- taloupes and of pumpkins, which continue to >iroiv on one and the same vine with them, Sardinia Lcbectyeva began work- ing with cantaloupes in 1925, Her present achievement is the result of many years of patient and pain- staking experimenting with differ- ent varieties tinder various climatic and soil oonditnoaS.

"Well, yes,", conceded the cir- cus mats, "they do have their little quarrels at times.

Nisr-t Was Right My daughter Nina, aged four, was staying with her grandmother while my husband and I were out of town. One day Nina threw her antic about her grandma and said: "Oh, Grandmother, T love you so much —you're so pretty!" Grandmother replied: 'That's very sweet of you, darling, but I'm not pretty." Nina paused thoughtfully, then said: "Well—you're very pretty on the inside!"
