SUCCESSFUL
SCHOOL FAIR HELD AT RED DEER LAKE
Entries of Livestock, Grain, Flowers, Seed and Art
Displayed
Six schools: Priddis, Red Deer Lake, Fordville, Midnapore, Glenmore
and Ballyhamage, participated in a successful school fair at the Red Deer Lake
school house on Labor day, in spite of muddy roads there was a large attendance
throughout the day both of adults and scholars. The entries of livestock,
grain, seeds, flowers and art displays were highly creditable, and the judges,
W. S. Benn, of Claresholm; J. R. Webster, F. C. McIntyre, M. H. Moore and F. G.
Buchanan, of Red Deer, were highly pleased with the quality and with the
evidence that a keen and intelligent interest was developing.
The object of these school fairs, which are held in various centres throughout
the province under the auspices of the department of agriculture, is to promote
an understanding of the value of good seed, good livestock and other farm
factors, and also to make the students understand the weed menace. Speaking of
the livestock, Mr. Webster said that some excellent Tamworth hogs, Shropshire
sheep and Ayrshire cattle were shown.
President Dan Patton and Secretary Eckersly were indefatigable in their efforts
to make the fair an outstanding event and were warmly congratulated by the
judges.
