TABLELAND FAIR TO HAVE
SOME UNUSUAL EXHIBITS
U. S. Department of Agriculture
To Show New Ways OF Pre-
serving Specimens
TO AWARD CASH PRIZES

An attractive and unusual exhibit
of preserved agricultural and biologi-
cal specimens, which has attracted
worldwide attention, will be displayed
at the eighth annual Tableland Fair
to be held in Gimbels department
store in Pittsburgh from October 19
to q, through the efforts of DR.. Henry
C. Knight, chief of the bureau of agri-
cultural chemistry and engineering,
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
This work, which represents a new
departure in attempts to preserve
specimens, is now being conducted by
the bureau in Washington for the pur-
pose of preserving materials for use
in scientific research, study and eX-
hibition. Leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds,
insects, and other biological material
are preserved, with their natural size,
color and shape being retained.
One method of mounting permits
specimens to be encased intact in solid,
crystal-clear transparent methacrylate
plastic resembling glass in appearance,
where their characteristic form and
beauty may be viewed from any angle.
The other method consists essentially
in chemically treating fresh plant ma
terials as sliced fruit, autumn leaves,
or colored flowers, in such manner
as to tougher the tissues and set the
natural color after which the speci-
ments are preserved directly adhering
to glass or between transparent cellu-
lose film.
Included in the exhibit will be rare
plant specimens including a four cen
tury old ear of corn eXhumed from the
grave of an Incan warrior near Lima,
Peru, and a number of beetles and but
terfies of brilliant color and rides
cence.
The fair is for the purpose of pro-
noting the products of the Allegheny
Tableland and cash prizes for exhibits
from the farm, home, and school will
be awarded. Exhibits will be gathered
by trucks from Pittsburgh after entry
blanks are received. Usually large
number of Garrett county people par
ticipate in the Fair.

A large part of Garrett county has
been fortunate this year in not having
a killing frost as yet, although there
are indications that it will not be long
before such is the case. Usually the
growing season here is not much over
100 days but this year there have been
at least 165 days without a killing
frost. That doesn't include any days
in April. Although leaves have turned
in many instances there are still some
trees waiting for the frost to give
added color to the foliage, Flowers
continue to bloom in abundance, and IN
a number of instances tomato and
bean vines have revived to produce
more food for the table.

to reach the refreshment bowl, but
the dangers and hazards are too
great. So they come meekly out

These precautions are to protect

time the flower opens, the stamens
are all bowed down. When an an

After the pollen from the anthers
has been fired, the stigma that has
been still and closed and below the
anthers, now uplifts the style and
assumes its place at the cave en-

their three fingers they comb off
the pollen from the coats of the Wis
