as much of this as possible. Do not

such an exhibit.
8. Uniformity. This is where an
exhibitor really displays his ability
as Snowman. The judge counts
uniformity high on his score sheet
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-07-15

when he judges exhibits in a class.
A mediocre grower can have his
fruits win over those of a good grow
er simply by taking time to select
his sample for uniformity. Here is
where real showmanship counts!
Uniformity embraces several i'm
portant things. A good sample must
possess uniformity of size. form or
shape, color and condition and other
factors. BY all means, if you are
showing plate of apples, make sure
that all the apples on the plate are
the same variety. And select for the
greatest uniformity within the
sample. Nothing is more important
than this if you expect to win the
coveted blue ribbon, or even the
grand award for the best sample in
the show.
Here are some considerations for
specific classes of fruits:
Apples and crabapples. 1t is de-
sirable to have stems attached to
these fruits. Freedom from insect
and disease biemishes and from me-
chanical injury is especially impor-
tant. Color of the fruits should ex-
tend well down into the basal end.
Plums. cherries and sandcherries.
Correct stage of maturity is very inn
portant for this group of fruits. Try
to preserve the waxy bloom on the
fruit as much as possible. Fruits
must be handled very carefully at
all times. Discard fruits showing in
sect stings and disease blemishes
Select mature, uniform specimens.
Strawberries. Berries should be
bright and clean, and should possess
uniform deep color. Quality de-
teriorates rapidly, so berries picked
just before the show have the great.
est chances of winning. Do not ex.
hibit berries that show signs of de
cay, mold or bruising. Show berrie,
with a little of the stem and caly1
attached
Raspberries. Berries should b,
fresh and show no decay or bruising
Good color, flavor and size are i'm
portant considerations. Raspberrie
are not shown with stem or core at
tached.
curran4s and gooseberries. Berrie
must be free from insect or worn
damage. Well ripened, firm berrie
are important.

He cited one instance in which
a diplomatic car was parked all

cab drivers threatened to cut the
tires, and police were sent to
protect the automobile. The car
was pushed out of the cab stand.
State Department officials de-
