turned from Topsham fair where they

conducted and fulfilling certain re-
Quirements.

fruit, which he says was good. Mr..
Dudley is enthusiastic over the action
of the Governor and Council OH
Thursday. in authorizing the depart
ment to make fruit exhibit on Nov.
Show at Hartford, CT. He says the
plan is to have a real apple exhib-
it and the Oxford Bears Fruit Grow
ers Association has been engaged to
furnish the apples-which means that
nothing but fruit of which every
Maine person may be proud will be
sent to Hartford. The Maine exhibit
will have a 60-foot frontage in Foot
Guard Armory and will consist OF
