The fair is under auspices of the Huron Crop Improvement Associa- tion, which is headed this year by Al- vin Bottles, Bayfield, with Russell Bolton, Dublin, and Richard Procter, Brussels, as vicepresidents. Oliver T. Pryee, Dublin, was the — most successful of the new exhibi- tors who showed at the seed fair this year. Scoring the most points made .by a novice exhibitor in grain and seed classes, he carried home a silver plated tray as the trophy of his winnings. Robert P. Allen took county cham- pionships in such varied branches of competition as haymaking, feed grain growing, turnip growing, corn growing, and oat production. When special awards were presented Fri- day night, on the basis of judging which had been done during the day, Bob Allen ,had won five trophies, cheques and special prizes. "The real contest at this fair", Prof. Keegan ,commented on the judging, "was between the oats and the wheat". The board of judges which decided the grand champion- ship, he said, hesitated for a long time between the winning wheat sample and the winning oat sample", . although the timothy was given very serious consideration", he added. The top timothy entry was that of R. N. Alexander of Londes- boro. The grand championship finally went to the Allen oats over the Strang wheat, said Prof. Keegan, because of a very slight darkening at the tips of the wheat kernels. The bushel lots of feed grain were judged largely on their milling qual- ities, Prof. Keegan explained. The feed grain entries were actually ground.by the judges on a hand mill, and the judging of the ground meal was given considerable weight in the placings, along with the judging of the feed grain before it was ground.
