Settler issued a notice concern
ing the Farm and Home Beautifica
tion contest. This contest will
close at the time of the Matanuska
Valley Fair and some very hand
some prizes have been offered in
this contest.

amount of time and money spent on

on the p .reentage of improvement cf
the v/hcle farmstead. Points of
scoring will include removal of rub
bish and eyesores, neatness and
adequacy of the vegetable garden,

as follows: 1st, $15.00; 2nd,
$10.00j 3rd, $0,00; 4th, $5.00;
and 10 $2.00 prizes.
In a recent survey and chock of
tho farm homes intered in this con
test, it is surprising to note
that only a few people are interest
ed in it. -Lhis means only one
thing - LACK OF INTEREST IN THEIR
HOMES,
This is a deplorable condition.
Since the points of scoring cover
the amount of practical improve
ment of the farm and home it seems
to be a fine opportunity to tako
advantage of this offer and in
terest shown by other people.
It is not too late to rush in and
enter your farm and home in this
doubly beneficial contest. You
win if you lose,, Tho improvement
stays on the farm and docs not be
come the property of the judges.
Come on - - - lots get being this
thing and cause tho judges some
worry.
Life is not so much holding a Oood
ha n d as it i3 playing a poor hrnd
well.
