At the Rotary Fair this year, a horseshoe pitching contest was one of the big attractions, and the directors of the fair felt that they would be making no mis- take in adding this to the list of attractions to be offered to the public. Junior Fair Big Feature of Interest Looking to the future years, when generations of new exhibi- tors will have to be trained to make the Oshawa Fair a continu- ing ' success, the directors have made special provision in their prize list for the Oshawa Junior Fair, which is conducted jointly under the auspices of the Osha- wa Kiwanis Cfib, the South On- tario Agricultural Society and the Ontario Department of Agri- culture, which co-operate in pro viding generous prize money for these classes. The junior fair fis open to all boys and girls of On- tario and Durham Counties un- der the age of 21 years. judging in the junior school fair is all done on Tuesday, Sept. 13, starting at one o'clock. The competitions in this sec- tion of the fair are such as will develop the right type of agri- culture training for boys and girls, Live stock classes include colts, dairy and beef calves, mar- ket lambs and bacon hogs, while there is a special competition in showmanship. Other classes brought out exhibits of poultry, seed grain and sheaves, potatoes, fruits and vegetables, Some spec- ial trophies are #&lso available for competition. A championship prize of a handsome cup wil] be awarded by the Oshawa Chamber of 'Commerce to the competitor who wins the greatest number of points in these junior sections. A special prize of a silver Pyrex baking dish, valued at $5.00 and donated by the T. Eaton Com- pany, Limited, will be given for the best dairy calf owned and raised by the exhibitor or by the parent or guardian of the exhi- bitor. Another interesting feature in connection with the junior fair is that the prizes will be presented to the winners at a banquet to be given to all junior exhibitors by the Oshawa Kiwanis Club about Each The | two weeks after the fair. With all these special features, the junior fair this year is ex- pected to be the most successful on record, and the fair directors are giving it the maximum of at- tention. Fruit, Grains and Vegetables On Exhibition Products of the field, the or- chard and the home. garden al- ways have a large place at a tru- ly agricultural fair, and the Osh- awa Fair, held in the centre of a district which is famed for its fruit and vegetables, can be de- pended upon to bring forward splendid exhibits in these classes, Farm products of this character are divided into several sections, The first is that for roots, veg- etables, and seeds. Sheaves of grain, exhibits of threshed grain, potatoes, pump- kins, and all kinds of vegetables will be featured in these classes, and the exhibitors, as a rule, grains have their samples go attractive- ly displayed that they are worth seeing, The fruit classes include all kinds of commercial apples and domestic types of apples, several varieties of pears and plums, with the chief feature the class for collections of native fruits.
