MRS. LAsALLE o. PICKETT

LaSalle Corbell Pickett, widow OF
General Pickett, one Of the brayest of
the Confederate leaders In the civil
war is coming to our Cheutauqua
with an intimate personal knowledge
OF the stirring times, and with the
ability to make us see and hear and
live over with her some af the great
est events in aur history as a Nation.
Mrs. Pickett spent her early life on
Virginia plantation, surrounded by
the influences and traditions of the
typical Southern home. Early in the
war she married General Pickett and
followed the fortunes of the war as
would only be done by the Child
Bride of the Confederacy." She came
in contact with leaders, both North
and South, and is thus prepared to
speak with such full knowledge and
authoriey as probably no other per-
son living today. Plan to hear this
intensely interesting, wonderful
story of true patriotism.

PREPARE EXHIBITS NOW
FOR THE COUNTY FAI


Parties contemplating making ex-
hibits at the county fair this fall
should begin now to prepare their
specimens. Especially is this true OF
patries expecting to make individual
farm exhibits or township exhibits
where they intend showing a great
variety of farm products.
The grasses should be cut full
length and tied in bundles with the
blades on, bundles not less than 8
inches in diameter. These should be
hung in shaded room with tho
heads down so they will cuse out
with bright green color. There is
large variety of wild grasses grow
ing in this section, in addition to the
tame grasses, such as orchard grass,
blae grass, rescue grass and others,
and as many varieties should be Sc
sured as possible.
The clover and alfalfa should also
be handled in the same way, saving
a sample from each cutting, showing
the seasons growth. Remember, all
forage crops should be shown with
the leaves or foliage on, while all
grain crops should have theblades or
forage leaves removed. Oats, wheat,
barley and rye should be pulled up
by the roots when the straw Is
golden color placing the straws all
straight, the heads even, tying
cloth string just under the heads and
strip all leaves off, tying again in the
middle, and again just above the
roots. Then use a knife, cutting the
roots off square. This makes very
nice exhibition bundle. This sheaf
stuff should also be between three
and five inches in diameter.
All early fruits. such as strawber-
ries. dewberries, blaekberries and
early peaches, or any other early
fruits. should be preserved especially
for exhibition purposes and set away
| in dark place until wanted for eX-
hibitiOn this fall.
Fruits and vegetables canned for
table use cannot be shown in the reg
ular agricultural or horticultural eN-
hibit, but should be shown in the
Domestic Science department.
For formulas for preserving fruits
and vegetables write your secretary
of the fair association or ask the
county agent; they will be glad to
assist you in preserving exhibits foc
the fall fairs. All exhibits should be
gathered while fresh and before the
rains discOlOr them.
