County Fair Booster Banquet Due
August 18th

All the members OF the Ialr cOm-
mittee will enjoy one of Molly Smiths
famous repasts in the Baptist Church
annex Saturday evening, August 18TH.
This get-together time will allow each
committee to further perfect its part
of the fair and inspire all to do their
best in putting owe n of the big
gest, best and %cleanest fairs ever held
in South Jersey. There are owe 20
committeeman in all, each doing his
or her part without remuneration, ex-
cept for the satisfaction which each
one takes for the part he or she
played in making the fair a distinct
asset to Cape May County.
Three Day Fair More Attractive to
COnceSsiOnaireS
Already the addition of a day (Sep-
TENDER 7th) to the fair is having its
effect. The commercial concerns and
prospective purchasers of special
privileges are making apparent the
approval of the three day fair by get
ting estimates and making deposits
on space well in advance of the fair.
Naturally one possessing a fine exhibit
does not like to tear it down almost
as soon as it is put up, as would be
the case in a two day fair. Again,
more time will be allowed those in
charge for having fun as we'll as bust
ness.
August 81, as is being advertised
in this issue, will give everyone a
chance to bid on many of the fair
privileges, and also to meet the fol-
lowing named committee on onces-
sions and privileges: I. A. Powell,
Jesse D. Ludlam, John Smith, John
Ross, Washington Van Glider and
Walter Hurrell.
Poultry Show to Be the Biggest Ever
In order that some of our nighbor-
ing county farmers get a chance to be
trimmed by Cape May County poultry,
John N. Reeve, chairman of the Poul-
try Committee, will journey to Vine
land to break the news that cash
prizes of nearly $500 will be open to
them if they can win it. There will
be two classes, namely, Utility and
Fancy. An exhibitor can enter in
either one or both of these classes.
Nearly all the first premiums will pay
$3.50; some go as high as $500.
Vegetable Committee of the Fair Meet
in Farm Demonstration Office
w. S. Thompson, together with the
vegetable and field crop committee
of the fair, met last week and made
classes and set the amount of pre-
miums for the vegetable exhibit at the
1922 fair. The other members of the
committee are Bernard Tronnem,
Frank Swain, A. T. D. Howell, E. E.
Madara, ]. Reid Chambers and Lewis

County Fair VIII Again Have Big
Trap Shoot
o. F. Ferree, president of Stone
Harbor Gun Club, Chas. Wright, Jr.,
and A. G. Schwartz, acting as a COM
mittee on trap shooting, will put
across the biggest match ever held at
the County Fair Grounds on the last
day of the fair. Cash prizes and other
favors will be distributed to those
winning in at least two classes. The
shooting will be open to all, and if
every gunner resident and non-resi-
dent of Cape May County does not get
some f1rst-class shooting it will not be
the fault of the committee.
EldOra to Guard Against Horse Disease
Upon learning that DR.. J.. H. Mcneil,
of the State Bureau of Animal In
dustry will vaccinate free of charge
horses against forage poisoning (men-
ingitis), the Eldora farmers called a
meeting and found that there were
about 80 head of horses to be vacci-
mated. Subsequently ]. Reid Chamb-
ers, who has for several years handled
hog cholera control work in the Ell
dora section, communicated with the
Office of Farm Demonstration and
asked that the state veterinarian be
brought to Eldora for horse work. The
horses will be assembled at the Eldora
post Office corner at 10 o'clock A. M.
STANDARD Time), Friday, August 18th.
DR.. Krouse will bring a few extra
amounts of vaccine so that should the
number of horses run over 80 he can
