Winter Fair in Flordia--Says it. Did
Not Come up to Medina County
Standard.

The Fair Board met in the Farm
Bureau office last Saturday in an all
day session. The Board expects to
surpass their good record of last year
and are laying plans accordingly.
4 President Baughman made report
Lof the state meeting of fair boys held
Eat Columbus Mr.. Baughman said
that the fairs of the state were going
to use every effort to give the young
people place in the fair and give
more time and space for the women's
department
Judge F. M. Plank, secretary, gave
an interesting report of the mid winter
fair held in Florida at Orlando. The
main feature of their fair, though it
did not come up to the Medina county
standard, was that. they made the very
best show of what they had, said MI.
/ Plank.
The corn exhibit while attracting
very much attention, only yields. from
! 10 to go bushels per acre in that state.
They had very good poultry show,
q few Jersey and Ayrshire cattle. In
the hog department the Duroc Jerseys
seemed to predominant. The fruit
tand vegetable exhibit was very large,
all grown on irrigated land.
The races, the least said about them
the better. To use the Judges own
terms: "They started to suit them
selves and finished the same way"
1t was agreed that certain improve
ments on the Medina grounds are
necessary. More building space is to
be provided and the driveways will be
repaired as rapidly as possible.
i Certain changes in the premium list
were recommended and acted upon.
However, in order that due considera-
|.tion be given, it was decided that the
superintendents of all departments
submit to the board at their meeting
in April, any changes that they deem
wise.

are taking advantage of this opportun-

who expect, when they have complet-

The very great need for nurses in this

occasion to attempt to employ nursing
assistance. The enthusiasm which is
evidenced by the members of these
classes speaks highly of the ability Of
