encouragement, especially by the larg-
er societies. We call attention to the
fact that there are a few fairs that
pay altogether too little attention to
the stock interests of their section.
The matter of proper sanitation should
receive more attention on many
grounds. The midway is a much dis
cussed subject. Many fair officials
make it altogether too prominent
feature. We think that fair officials
should see that there are on their
grounds sufficient places where good
food and drink may be obtained by
all its patrons and that such places
be maintained under proper sanitary
conditions.
Small Fruits and Vegetables.
1.-The soil and climate of Maine are
adapted to the growing of small
fruits and vegetables. In their season,
all such needed to supply the home
market might be and ought to be
raised in Maine. The same is true
of fancy apples for eating. Large
shipments of vegetables, small fruits.
and fancy apples from outside sources
are brought into the State and the
importation seems to be on the in
crease. There is, however, an awaken
ing interest among farmers living in
cities in the value of home markets
and we believe that the time will soon
come when the large sums of money
now sent out of the State for such
articles of food will be paid out to our
own people for our own products.
Institutes.
There has been call during the
past year for Institutes from all parts
of the State, and a very large num-
Der of addresses have been made under
the auspices of the department. State
of Maine speakers have been employed
for the most part, and they have met
good sized audiences. Many institutes
have been held in connection with
the Grange, who have opened their
halls to us without expense to the
State"
