aged. The should be a full bundle
of flax, alfalfa and clover.
These grains and grasses should
be carefully packed in large boxes,
with sufficient openings to permit
plenty of air to circulate through so
as to prevent the grain becoming
heated or moulded while in transit.
The larger the variety the more
value is attached to it. Extreme care
should be used in selecting, arrang-
ing and packing each exhibit.
The department will simply take the
exhibit from the boxes and display
it, concealing from the judges the
name of the contestant and the coun-
ty in which the exhibit was gathered.
1t may prove advantageous to the
exhibitor to have the wheat, oats,
barley rye, speltz and other grains
stripped. This will make the straw
brighter and more attractive. Have
each bundle securely tied with cord. |
All grains and grasses should be
shipped by express, so as to prevent |
the exhibit being kept in the boxes
too long, and thus avoid it having a
moldy appearance. The department !
will pay express charges. Consign all
to:

to $475.OO, ranging in the list of
