FAIR PbAFS ST/RTRD
A meeting of a special connitt
eo to revise the Premium lists
for the annual Matanusxa Valiejr
Fair ’./as nold May 16. The priz
es in general were not dimini
shed in amount.out were equal
ized uc offer greater opportun
ities in more fields for exhib
itors. Additions were made to
take Ccre of all crops grown in
the valley.
One outstanding change was the
substantial increase of prizes
offered to individual farm dis- k
plays. It must bo understood
that these items cannot be en
tered in other classes, but it.
is hoped these farm displays
will not diminish the entrants
in all ether single' classes.
The variety of exhibits on dis
play at Fairs during the last
two years nr.s been most encour
aging. Visitors have been great
ly impressed and surprised to
find that Alaska has a climate
which makes it possible to of
fer such a variety of exhibits.
The committee ur^es everyone to
cut-^r ara exhibit in an manj* de
partments as possible thus in
creasing tho co loctition. Since
in the past there has not been
a sufficient number of items in
each class to stimulate adequate
competition. Exhibits are es
sential. but are incr^asea in val
ue through competition.
The Fair Board realizes the im
nortance of training boys and
girls for the future farmers of
the valley. The Premium lists
v/ill be about the same with the
addition of contests in judging
live stock end c^ops. There will
also be a judging contest in the
Hone Economics 4-H Clubs.
In a very short time the revised
Premium lists will appear in or
der th't the public may plan
their exhibits during the grow
ing season.
