COUNTY RAM SALE
SLATED SATURDAY
80 Animals Consigned
To First Annual Event

The first annual ram sale,
which is being held at the Union
county Fair grounds on Saturday
will provide an offering of register
ed purebred rams for the use of the
commercial flock owners that
should materially improve the
quality of lambs produced, there
by adding many dollars to the
Sheepmen's income" according to a
statement made today by j, Blaine
Harris, sale manager.
Thirty-nine rams have been con-
Singed to this sale by Union coun-
ty breeders and these rams repre-
sent outstanding quality in Shrop-
shireS, Corriedales, Dorsets, Hamp-
ShireS and Southdowns and come
from the best flcoks in the county.
1t is a proven fact that no other
single factor contributes more to-
ward the production of quality
market lambs, than a good ram,
Mr.. Harris said.
The Union County Sheep I'M
provement Association, in working
out their long time program, have
provided a special lamb pool in
1916 and the requirement for par
ticipation in this special pool is
that all lambs consigned must be
sired by registered pure-bred
rams, according to County Agent
D. B. Robinson. This sale, in Mr..
Robinson's opinion, will afford
sheepmen an opportunity to pur-
chase rams to use in their flocks
which will enable them to market
their 1916 lamb crop through this
special pool.

SIS Cash Prizes Set;
Entries Made Sept. 1917

Announcement of the annual
Home Canning Fair to be conduct
ed by The Gas Company in Septem-
ber was made today by Miss Betty
Newton, home service adviser of
the Ohio Fuel Gas company and
conductor of the canning event.
Rules governing the contest, as
well as the list of clasSifications
for entries, may be had at any Of
flee of the Gas company.
Miss Newton stated that these
fairs are for the purpose of encour-
aging home canning of food stuffs
in preparation for possible shortag-
es which may occur during the
coming winter. Amateur Gamers
are especially urged to take part
in this Fair and judging will be
done on a basis of appearance and
good canning methods rather than
fancy displays"
Local homemakers wishing to
enter their choice home canned
fruits and vegetables are instruct
ed to submit their entries at the
local office, 1913 N. Main ST., from
Sept. 10 through II. All canned
foods and winning awards will be

and their families) is eligible to
enter the Home Canning Fair.
There are no entrance fees.
Fifty-five dollars in cash and
120 prize ribbons will be awarded
in 40 food classificationS. Official
labels and entry blanks will be
available at the Home Service CEN
ter at the Gas company and these
may be obtained when the entries
are brought in.
ITO help the beginner and to
supply veteran Gamers with the
latest canning information, we
have compiled a 32-page Canning
Guide" Miss Newton stated. This
booklet, available in any Gas COM
pany office, will be valuable aid
to exhibitors. The Canning Guide
will provide the -homemaker with
sugar saving recipes as well as
many new and unusual canning
shortcuts developed in the Gas
company kitchens"
1--WE are anticipating a greater
number of exhibitors than in 1914,
Miss Newton said. Realizing the
great need for food preservation
more homemakers are canning sur,
plus foods for the winter ahead
We encourage beginners as well
as experienced Gamers to enter
the Fair. Not only will they in,
crease their own canning knoWl
edge, but they will have an oppor,
tunity to enjoy the fun and enthu
siasm which always prevails at
the Home Canning Fair"
Miss Newton again emphasized
the fact that all the home canned
foods in the Canning Fair will bt
judged on the basis of appearance
stressing the usual home canned
foods instead of the fancy packs
This practical method Of judging
is used because opening the jars
for tasting would involve a waste
of food. No jars will be opened
and all entries will be returned
The judges will take into consid
Grafton the appearance of tht
pack, the selection of the produc
and the appearance of the con
tainer or jar.
