An estimated $50 All Youths
more than two-thirds of the entire
Stearns County enrollment-went
on parade at the Stearns County
FAR as exhibits climbed beyond the
10O-mark and the All department
maze history in establishing it's
largest exhibit in the history of
the Fair.
The entry list, totaling 1872
entries in the home economies.
crops and gardening, and live
STOCK branches of the work,
topped the record-making en-
try last year of COS that Jump
ed from 260 in 1887.
Biggest single gain in any de-
partment was made in the home
economics group with a total of
BIZ entries, Miss Ellen Moline, home
demonstration agent, pointed out.
The department had totaled 226 en-
tries last year. There were 10
clothing exhibits alone; "a cake
entries and SO home Identification
projects; A Junior leadership en-
tries.
Gardening and crops spun
the total upward with 1856 en-
tries; livestock mounted to I48
this year. Included were rs
baby beefs, beef heifers, 81
dairy calves, IL colts, 20 sheep,
~ pigs. There were 63 pens of
poultry.
Entries overlooked from the All
buildings with livestock trailing in
to the open class barns, Everell A.
Smith, county All leader, pointed
out. The exhibit building was jam
med with booths and exhibits in
home economics. Pens were lack
ing to suitably show the large poul-
try entry.
Not only does this All group
have quantity, but "the quality of
the exhibits is improving" Ed Lenz-
meier, county agent, said Monday
evening.
During the running of the Fair
the All dormitory was packed with
80 youths. Representing mostly
livestock exhibitors, who must be
on hand to care for their animals,
there were IS boys in the housed
group. The group is directed by
Miss Moline and Mr.. Smith.
A new system of judging was in
troduced this year that eliminates
the much-used first, second and
third" places, Miss Moline pointed
out. Instead blue, red and white
ribbons are awarded. The obvious
advantage is that it is possible to
award two blue, or red, or white
or more ribbons of an equal rank
in any division, but it is possible
to have only one first.
She pointed out that the ease
of judging was greatly facilitated,
and that exhibitors are more sat
isfied. She said too that the sys-
tenn is more fair since often only
a shade of difference in exhibits
must be made between first and
second places. Visitors she said
must realize that not only the ex-
hibit counts for awards, but also
the yearly record of the 4H'er.
