In addition to the lump sum being offered by the South Ontario Agri- cultural Society there are hosts of special prizes, and two regional live stock shows which will bring exhibi- tors to Oshawa Fair from many counties of central and eastern On- _ tario: These two shows are the Shorthorn Field Day and Show and the Regional Swine Show, both of which are to be held on Baturday, which is the closing day of the show. The Regional Shorthorn Show, which is being sponsored jointly by the South Ontario Agricultural Society, the Ontario Shdrthorn Club and the Ontario Departmnet of Agriculture, will provide prizes amounting to $650 in the Shorthorn Cattle special classes. Breeders from the counties of Victoria, Durham, York, Ontario, Peterborough, Hast- ings, Northumberland and Simcoe are 'eligible to enter their Short- horns at this Regional Show, so that there should be a great array of entries of animals in this breed. The other dairy cattle breeds, Aberdeen-Angus and Herefords, will have their own 'separate classes, and there will a of be & class for com- mercial cattle. REGIONAL SWINE SHOW The Regional Swine Show, which is limited to Yorkshire swine, is open to thé counties of Ontario, Durham, Peterborough, Northmber- jand, Hastings and Prince Edward Island. Prize money will total $375 for this show, with the South On- tario Agricultural Society, the On- tario Swine Breeders' Association and the Ontario Live Stock Branch contributing to it. In the other live stock classes for dairy cattle, horses and sheep, there is a particularly generous prize list, with many special awards offered to exhibitors. In the light horse classes, there is the Dr. T. E. Kaiser special prize for the best gentlemen's turnout. In heavy horses, there are the Howden- Smith Memorial Cup and the G. W. McLaughlin Silver Cup. Dairy cattle classes will include four breeds: Holsteins, Jerseys, Ayrshires and Guernseys. BEED CLASS CHANGES Owing to the early date of the fair, there have been some changes in the grain and seed classes. While grains shown must be of the 1951 crop, provision has been made that in the classes for small forage crop | seeds, seed of either the 1950 or 1951 crop may be shown. There will be the usual classes for vegetables and flowers, one of the special awards in the latter group being that for the best floral display entered by an organization. Revised prize lists have been pre- pared for the women's department in needlecraft, cooking and baking, fruit canning and in the section devoted to entries from Women's Institutes and their members. JUNIOR FARMER SECTION With the co-operation of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, the Junior Farmer section will again be one of the features of the Fair. In this seciion, the outstanding event will be the safe tractor driving compe- tition. Last year, a downpour of rain militated against the success of this spectacular contest, so the directors are hoping that it will be blessed with finer weather this year. The Oshawa Kiwanis 'Grain Club and the Oshawa Kiwanis Dalry Cattle Club will be holding their achievement days at the Fair, with many special awards offered to the boys in these clubs, as well as in|. the open Junior Farmer and Junior Farm Girls' classes. GARDEN CONTESTS LATER Owing to the Fair being too early for the school children's floral dis- plays, the Oshawa Kiwanis School Garden competition and the open garden club competitions, staged under the auspices of the South Ontario Agricultural Society, will this year be held at a later date to be announced. Entries are now being regeived by E. W. Webber, secretary and man- ager of the Oshawa Fair, and he urges that as many as possible make their entries well in advance to avoid congestion on the days im- mediately prior to the fair.

President Gifford Invites General Public to Fair Oshawa Fair is rich in tradition and has become the annual meeting place for old friends from both rural and urban sections of the county. Apart from the value of the agricultural exhibition itself, the directors of the Oshawa Fair are extremely conscious of the community value of the institution and are doing everything they possibly can to further develop this angle of the Fair's activities. The 1951 Fair should be and | hope will be one of the best exhibitions to date, since every department has been working diligently for several months planning and making arrangements for the hour when the gates will open. " Exhibits which will include agricultural, livestock, industrial and many other features will be better and more numerous this year than they have been for many years and | most sincerely hope that everyone who can possibly take advantage of the opportunity to attend will do so and thus give encouragement to that worthy group of fellow citizens who have been working so diligently for so long on this very worthwhile community enterprise.

Fair Setting Record For Early Date Oshawa's fall fair for 1961 is cer- tain of setting one record at least --it will be the earliest ever held. For the first time in its history it is being held in the first half of August. E. W. Webber, the show's secretary, in his annual pre-fair summing up said that he did not think the late would make very much difference' except for fruit. It might interfere a little with the showing of late vegetables as well. "But Belleville is holding its fete in the first half of this week and York County got under way last week, so why not us?" asked Mr. Webber. "The fair this year shows every prospect of being good. The build- ings are being repaired now and we expect quite a few exhibitors to submit applications for space. All the horse Tacile events were filled by the week's énd and no more en- tries will be accepted unless some horse drops out. Women's work is coming in fairly well." Mr, Webber pointed out that two of the "biggest attractions of the fair were the regional swine show and the regional shorthorn show. It was hard to estimate the num- bers of entries in those classes as they were submitted to outside sources, A. E. Somers, of the De- partment of Agriculture at Bow- manville, accepted the entries for the shorthorns and J. R. Turnbull, of the Canada Packers, at Peter- borough, was accepting swine en- tries.
