CLUB WORK SHOWN
BY BOYS AND GIRLS
Wonderfully Fine Exhibition Is Made by
Them and by Farm Bureau and
Austine Institution.

Wonderfully fine displays of farm and
garden produce, canned goods, sewing
and other work done by the boys and
girls of three counties occupied much
larger space under the grandstand than
last year because of the growth of that
department, and many remarks of com
mendation were heard regarding the
quality of the work done by the children.
The counties represented were Windham
in Vermont. Cheshire in New Hampshire
and Franklin in Massachusetts.
A demonstration of Babcock testing
was given by Windham County's First
Pure Bred Calf club of Vernon, the team
consisting of EDwyn Miller John Miner
and Harold Blodgett. A placard showed
that the club members own eight Jer-
seys and three Holsteins under two years
of age and two Jerseys and one Holstein
over two years of age.
Demonstrations also were given by the
potato team of the We're-Out-to- Win
club of Guilford, which has raised $50
bushels of marketable potatoes on an
acre of ground this year The team is
composed of Catherine and Elva Gallup
and Harry Beals. 1t is the same team
which was chosen to demonstrate at
White River Junction. where it had the
distinction of being chosen the best out
of 200 teams of the state and because of
this distinction was sent to the Eastern

cellency also marked the display of
