 It is certainly surprising what chil- dren under good supervision can do toward conserving agricultural re- sources. The potatoes, beans, corn and other garden products exhibited were worthy of any agricultural fair in the state. In profusion, variety and ex- cellence they were unsurpassed by any thing seen exhibited in recent years
 The children have had some excellent gardens this year in various parts of the town and have been we'll looked pervisor, MT. S1ee.
 It Is remarkable what a -year-old child can do in the way of canning when competently directed. The can ming exhibit consisted of nearly every variety of fruit and vegetable grown this season and all were put up with skill and care which insure good keeping qualities
 The work of the children will add materially to the resources of many homes in town this year.
 1t is planned to take a part of the exhibit to Brooklyn fair.
