Deport carried a Community
exhibit to Paris last year and
placed third. If Deport gets
the highest score possible it
will be necessary to carry the
best products that are grown
in this community. It is prac-
tically impossible to find the
best products unless the people
who grow them let be known.
B. B. Hutson, our vocational
agriculture teacher and secre-
tary of the Deport Community
Club, is sponsoring this com-
munity exhibit. If you have
anything that might be used,
get in touch with Mr. Hutson.
You may not have fancy pro-
ducts, but it might be the best
to be found this year, so do
not hesitate to let it be known.
Mr. Hutson states that he
has found practically all of the
produces called for in the score
card, but many of the products
are very poor. The products
called for in the score card are
as follows: Corn, 100 ears,
two varieties; grain sorghum,
cottony-80 bolls; oats, both bun-
dles and thrashed; hay—alfal-
fa, clover, cowpea, soy bean,
sorghum, sudan or millet. Pea-
nuts, two vines and two gallons;
Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes,
five fresh fruits, ten fresh ve-
getables, watermelon, pumpkin,
field cushaw, field peas, pop-
corn, and one quart of comb
honey.
Out of the above products
the following are especially
needed: Fresh fruits other
than apples and pears such as
figs, grapes, peaches, Japanese
persimmons; and fresh vege-
tables, water melon, pumpkin,
field pears, popcorn, and quart
of comb honey.

Cash premiums amounting to
$190 were given at the Depon
Community Fair Friday and
Saturday to winners of the var-
ious exhibits. Competition was
keen in every department and
despite the long drouth and
heat, farm products, live stock
and poultry showings were gen-
erally good.
Judging in the poultry, gen-
eral agricultural exhibits, swine,
farm exhibits, fancy work and
community club exhibits was
finished Friday. Livestock was
judged Saturday.
T^e largest crowd of the fair
was in attendance Friday even-
ing, when the Paris municipal
band gave a concert in front of
the home economics building on
the school campus, where the
fair was held. Many Paris peo-
ple accompanied the band to
Deport and there were also
many visitors from Bogata, Ful-
bright, Minter, Milton and other
nearby towns.
People commented favorably
on the exhibits and the fair in
general and the exhibition was
regarded as a success. A car-
nival company was on the
grounds to provide entertain-
ment throughout the time and
every effort was made to show
everyone in attendance a good
time.
Judges of the exhibits at the
fair were Mrs. C. C. Taylor of
Cooper, former home demon-
stration agent for Delta county;
Ed Edmiaston, Lamar county
agent; C. M. Knight, Red River
county agent; O. B. King, vo-
cation agriculture teacher at
Bogata.
The exhibit of Mr. and Mrs.
J. H. Ripley, who for the third
consecutive time won the gen-
eral farm crop prize, included
almost every article possible to

Cash premiums amounting to
more than $2,000 will be given
exhibitors in the different div-
isions of the Lamar District
Fair this year. A greater part
of these prizes will be offered
to the livestock exhibitors, but
there will be liberal awards to
farm crop exhibits, community
exhibits, dressmaking, canning
and other divisions.
All farmers are urged to en-
ter their best products as the
entire county has been affected
by the drouth and heat and
none of the exhibits will be up
to standard. An exhibit which
might fail to place in other
years may win because of little
competition.
