The wish just expressed is no idle one. The public exhibition of whati farm women accomplish is one of thej best educators of farm women ofi which we have knowledge.

Parallel with the exhibits, in educa-j tional value, are the demonstrations in I canning, baking and so forth now so frequently conducted at our fairs, not by trained leaders from outside the community, but by the women and boys and girls themselves.
