for the program, games, and
speeches. Wrlto tho 'College of Ag
riculture or ask .your agricultural
'extension agent foriClreular 'No. 502
the Nebraska State Fair this year,

show of this kind ever held at a
fair In this state. A total of $2,277

etc., will be largor than at any pre
vious fair.

The beBt judging .and demonstra

''Malce an -exhibit at your county
fair" Is the .advice of tho Nebraska
College of Agriculture. The person
who gets the most out of the fair
is the one who has something on
exhibition. The remark, "1 have
better stuff 'than that at home" is
often hoard t fairs. The person
making such a, remark rarely appro-
elates to What extent the exhibitor
of the samples on display has stud
ied and -worTrcd over his material.
This preparation Is the chief source
of benefit. Furthermore, a person
with, an ontry will study competing
exhibits carefully and thru contact
with other exhibitors will pick up a
lot of information that ho would
not get as -n mere sightseer.
The boys and girls should be
strongly encouraged to prepare ex
hibits for county fairs.
The College of Agriculture has
just published a new circular on
j keeping the family budget and the
accounts. In this circular will bo
i
found valuable suggestions on keep
ing account of money spent for
foods, shelter and clothing with sug
gestions for the housewife along the
line of budgeting the family income.
This bulletin is sent free upon re
quest for Extension Circular 1191.
