THE HOME PAPER First Huron County Fruit Show is Success- The fruit show at Agricultural assembly room under auspices of the Huron Fruit Growers Asociation held Friday afternoon was said by Gordon Blair, mayor of Burlington, to be the best local fruit show that he has seen in Ontario. Mr. Blair represents a commercial spray company and makes it his buisness to attend fruit shows, therefore knows whereof he speaks. It was truly a wonderful exhibition of choice apples. After the judgisg had been completed, Mrs. D. A. Smith, president of the associa- tion, opened a short program by expressing in a brief address her rap - a. i ectionof h a the whole hearted co- operation of the fruit growers of Huron in assuring the sucuess of the, show by bringing in the choicest pro- ducts of their orchards. She then requested J. C. Shearer to take charge. Mr. Shearer also was greatly pleased with the exhibits. He said there were 70 separate entries placed by 13 fruit growers of the county. Mrs. Smith, he said, is the first and only woman president of an agricul- tural organization in Ontario and as such occupies a unique position. The main prize, a beautiful silver tray, donated by the Niagara Brand Spray Company for the best bushel hamper of apples of any variety in the show, was won by Stewart Middleton, God- erich township, and was presented to the winner by Stanley Craze, vice- president of the company, in person. Mr. Blair was asked to address the assembly and was highly complimen- tary of the show. 'It does great credit to this county, and I am amazed at the extent and quality of the ex- hibits," he said. Harry J. Boyle o1 Winghanc spoke on the value of ad- vertising. He advised having all fruit packages sold by Huron growers labelled "Grown in Huron County." Mrs. McGuire favored with piano music. At four o'clock the fruit was offered for sale by auction and was bringing as high as 50 and 00 cents for a six -quart basket. A. portion of the exhibit was bought by the Lions Club to be distributed to the R.A.P. officer's and then at Port Albert. The: prize winners were: Cl•+ss 1.
