The fifth annual fair of Putney
Grange was held Friday afternoon and
evening Although the plans were not
as extensive as last year the fair was
interesting and instructive. The school
exhibits were particularly good and
were a surprise to some who had not
kept in touch with the work of the
different grades. District No. is a
small school with few grades, and they
have more time for taking up domestic
science, sewing, etc, than the schools
where there are more pupils and more
grades.
Many of the apples shown were from
orchards which had been sprayed for
the first time. Many of the young peo-
pie on the farms have attended the
meetings and heard the lectures on the
subject of caring for the orchard. Some
of the farmers at the fair expressed
wishes for their sons and daughters to
plant new orchards the coming year,
thus encouraging the boys to stay on
the farms. Those who have had good
crop of potatoes had good exhibits, and
are disposing of them for a good price.
Andrew Wooleys trace of the old
Holden corn was handsome, while
newer variety exhibited by Arthur Low
ell was of very long and slender ears,
and deserves special mention.
The old -fashoned supper served from
to s o'clock was well patronized, as
was the ice cream parlor.
A miscellaneous entertainment of mu-
Sic Rotations, monologues and panto-
mines followed by dancing, closed the
evenings program. Following is the pre-
