Many Items For
Askov Rutabaga
Day Entry Lists
First, Second and Third
Place Cash Premiums to
be Awarded Exhibitors.

Entry lists and other matters per-
tanning to the exhibit displays at the
1941 Askov Rutabaga Festival, to be
held on August % and 20, are
now virtually complete and the heads
of the various departments urge all to
plan their entries now. K. L. Lund
will be in charge of the grain and
garden displays, Mrs. Sigurd Lunde
will take care of the baked and
canned goods, Mrs. Louis Clausen
the fancy work display and Mrs.
Fred Jorgensen the flower display.
Eddie Dietz and Arid Frederik-
sen are in charge of the livestock
show, taking the place of A. P. Jen-
sen who is i'll. The sum of $35 has
been set aside for the livestock premi-
ums alone to make this division a
valuable one for exhibitors. All live
stock listed for exhibition will be
called for in the morning and taken
home again after the fair.
Correct Entries Important.
The exhibit chairmen warn all ex-
hibitors of the importance of enter
ing their products in the number and
manner listed in order to qualify
for prizes. One too many or an item
short in an otherwise fine display
will disqualify it from further con-
sideration by the judges. Anything
not listed will be appreciated for dis
play but will not be eligible for
prizes. Odd and unusual plants will
be especially welcome.
AS was the case last year cash
prizes will be paid for the first,
second and third place winners as an
added inducement for a larger and
better display so the committee feels
that it is not too early to make
preparations now for exhibiting at the
Festival. All vegetables, fruits, grains
and other field and garden products
will again be displayed in the D. B. S.
hall while the baked and canned
goods, fancy work and flower ex-
hibits will be housed in the high
school auditorium.
Bring Exhibits Early.
Thursday will be entry day for all
exhibits except livestock, flowers and
baked goods. All items must be in
by 9 o'clock the following day in order
that the committees have plenty of
time to get the booths arranged be-
fore the judging begins. An auction
sale will be held at 5 o'clock in the
afternoon of the final day when all
unclaimed exhibits will be sold to
the highest bidder.
The list of the entries wanted in
the various departments is given be-
low.
