we're ripe strawberries, canned
fruits and .iellies to make ones
mouth water. Phil Hartwell who

together Willard Hastings wat
ermelon pumpkin and Fayettc
Badgers big squash were well de-
serving the blue ribbon. Then
there was d. H. Rice's prime
maple sugar, bees honey, grapes,
apples, flowers and so on. II
there is anything in the vegetaoie
snd fruit book that was not samp-
