Tlx- lap of the day before yester day, from Kl Tovar to Prescott, was he 1 ii! st of the entire trip, both 'ii time and distance. -V heavy cloud burst aught the party twenty miles lrr.ni Prescott, all but willing the tar away. Strangely enough the edge of the storm was found just a mile and from the point it caught the ear, after driving through torrents tn hour in accomplishing that the clever-handed Harry Shea compelled to fight drifting sand space. Further on between Je .lunction and the city, the water r mile, a s l"i ; 1 1 'tiif caught up again, wetting the road and making it nearly impassable. But ; Iter a heroic st rustle with the ele ments, the plucky driver managed to get his load safely into the Mile High -ity for the night. From Flagstaff, where Governor Hunt took the train, the party in cluded Harry Welch, who took Peter ( lark ,!:;cl-"ai lane's place for the re mainder of the trip. Ueceiit rains have done wonders for the load in the mountains just north i'i the valley. Without being heavy enough to wash the surface, the downpour has laid every trace of dust, aid motor travel has packed down the paths to asphalt-like hardness, tirades are the most severe trial, but the surface is fine for traction. Yar n. I! Hill, the bane of motorists, is 1 .idly washed in places, but not ser iously eiiouuh to stop any car with idinary power and ;i wise head be hind the wheel. The beautiful hill land known .as 'upper Basin is now in its best shape, cool and delightful to the traveler and pleasantly safe. In spite of (he fact that the Howe party went hvt the edge and came near ending their earthly careers, there is no real danger to a careful driver. A moment's lapse in the driver's attention was in this case tesponsible for what might have been a tragedy of the most shocking soil. Boa. Is in tlm valley have not vet lien touched with rain, and are in i onsi 1 1 uciice dusty. But in general the surface is good and the trails able to support fairly speedy traffic. The snake dunce party early elected Harry Welch chief priest. It occurs that Hoyar, "Wainimu. the chief snake priest of the Walapai Hopi is called Harry by the white men. and conse quently Welch was qualified by his name to represent that important in dividual. Welch's antics at Kl Tovar brought on showers that did immense good to the limp1 but nearly ended the trip of his party. Then at Je rome the cloudburst. But all the prayers he conk enunciate yesterday tailed to bring the moisture out of the sky. so the Salt River valley re mains dry but for its artificial rain. Welch's efforts it is said will not tease with his return to the seat of bis daily toil, but will eonitnue until the Koosevclt dam backs up a full est rvoir. Photographer Bob Turnbull left the I arty at Prescott to remain a few days with his people, who are in stalled there for the heated term. On jhis re'urn he will develop what now promises to ho the most complete set of sinake dance pictures ever taken. llis moving pictures, which will soon be seen here, wire sent from Flag staff to the print man in Xew York.

McOniie, Agri cultural Expert Makes Soi no tions Valuable Sues- on Preparing J)is- play for State Fair. The success of a fair depends as much on the ability of the exhibitor to make a proper display of his pro duce as on the quality of the pro ducts themselves. The importance of this fait is usually underestimated by the average farmer and as a re sult we see so commonly the poorly prepared exhibit receiving very little attention and few ribbons, whil an exhibit low' in quality but well pre pared gets the prizes. In the first case the exhibitor goes home discouraged and vows not to try again, while in the second case the winner goes home with increased energy to produce better stuff and prepare it more attractively for the next fair. So much indeed depends on the care exercised in preparing1 the material to be shown, that it is scarcely worth while entering1 a con test unless proper preparation lias been given. The selection of the crop to be exhi bited renuies carelul thought, the care ami preparation of it before being shown must receive careful consider ation; and the arrangement of it in the booth ccrtainlv requires the use of at least some artistic taste arid neatness. Select Exhibit While Growing Tn speaking1 on the selection of ma terial it is important to note that the time to select any crop for exhibition purposes is while it is growing1. Its superior qualities are most readily tliscernable as it stands in the field in competition with its fellows. Here desirable individuals can be marked and given special attention so that the greatest possible development may be had. Fairs are places to display the very best that you can produce and not the medium. Cold Storage for Perishables The care after the crop is matured must be in accordance with the cli matic conditions, the length of .time before the exhibition, and the variety of the crop. In this climate it will be necessary to place any perishable stuff in cold storage ami all produce as alfalfa, grain, etc., should lie kept in a dry cool place such as a well ventilated cellar. A little causes mould, while the direct sunlight causes bleaching. Sheaf Exhibits In the preparation of sheaf exlubits the following points should bo taken into account. Grain Choose well filled heads that are representative of the variety to be exhibited; cut the straw as close to the ground us possible in order to show full length of plant grain hap been cut thn best heads with as long possible Make up samples of not 2no heads. Tie with some or ribbon just under the or if the select the stents as to exceed soft cloth heads. :it the bundle butts and in the center of and place in a darkened room to cure or ripf-n off. C,o in a little later, un tie the bundle, sprinkle a little water on straw and strip off any adhering leaves. With a soft cloth polish each straw. Xow neatly tie up the bundle with baby ribbon of appropriate color in at least three places, better four, see ing that all heads are evenly placed making one 'compact circular bush. The shape, and compactness of the bundle is very important. Do not use sharp string in tying sheaf grain, as the straws are easily broken. See that each sample is neatly labeled. wrao in some timi. sol r cioi u a no put where it will be suspended in a free current of air with heads down, put in a lry place and not exposed to the bleaching sun. Forage Exhibits Directions Forage plants Select leafy types in the fiehl. Cet most erect individ ual specimens obtainable. Cut close to ground. Put in a loose bundle ot" riot more than four or five inches in diameter, loosely wrapped in newspa per, or better still in thin porus (loth, and hang in the dark to cure. To re tain its color it must be cured in the dark. Do not lose a .single leaf as it is foliage wo want here ami not stalks. Tie in a. neat manner as in the case of the grain sheaf. Threshed drain and Seed Sample All seed should be run through a fan ning mill to blow out all chaff, dirty weed seed and light weight kernels. Small samples put up in small exhibi tion jars are desirable for their at tractiveness even though not elgiible for any prizes. The amount of the seed you should exhibit in earn sam ple will be governed by the condi tion of the premium list. If possible4the ear corn, maize, etc. samples should lie selected from the field and not from the crib after husking. Make up a sample of U ears as nearly uniform in size, shape and color as possible. See that ex hibit ears are well cured and dried and of course a clean bright white. vol low or whatever the variety color might be. Select 10 of the best ears from the 12 ears for the exhibit. Any milo, or other members of the sorghum family should be exhibited on the stock as well as head and seed samples. Any plants showing phenomenal vigor or great stooling qualities always attract attention and add much to the general display. Save any stalks of corn with three ears. Choosing Vegetables Vegetables The greatest care should be exercised in selecting vegetables that are fully matured and ripened. These specimens should be washed and dried ovit in shallow trays in cool well ventilated cellars. Melons, cantaloupes, tomatoes, etc., should be selected from the vine and placed in cold storage. Exhibition Points Points which may be considered by exhibitors in making1 tip exhibits are as follows: This schedule shows the major points usually considered by judges, but is not intended as a de finite score for judges to follow in this case, but rather as a guide -to assist the exhibitor in getting uniform exhibits of desirable quality. 1. Corn Trueness to type uniformity, (a) Iength and shape of ear. (b) Size and shape of kernel, (c) Rows of corn on cob. Condition of corn color, (a) Sound. market condition. One uniform shade of color must prevail throughout the sample save in corn neither white or yellow. 2. Threshed Grains Purity and freedom from mixture. Uniformity of exhibits. "Weight. General appcar- lance. 3. Grain Sheaves Character of head spike or panels. Character of straw. Maturity and quality of grain. 4. Potatoes (Irish) Freedom from diseases. Character of eyes and skin. (Should have shallow eyes ami smooth skin.) Quality of flesh for table use. Sweet potatoes may be se lected under these same points except Xo. : where character of skin only is considered. 5. Pumpkins and Squash Uniform ity and trueness of type. General out side appearance. Quality of flesh for table use. t. Miscellaneous Vegetables True ness to type. Uniformity of size and form. Texture and cplor. Flavor, cooking- or eating1 quality. 7. Fruit Uniformity of size and f i inn. i r. a nee. Trueness of variety, type. Col Size Quality.

Some such points might be consid ered in other products which I havo not included in the list. There is yet time before the fair opens to make some field selections of corn, milo maize, sorghum, alfalfa, etc., and it is advisable that it be done. Farmers, stockmen, poultrymen and vegetable gardners should all take an active part in fairs and help to make them a success by exhibiting the best they have, put up in as neat and at tractive condition as possible. More kind will be brought under cultivation next year, more poultry raised, and better stock produced by reason of the fair. . o ADAMS ARRIVALS J. P. Ncaly, Prescott; J. D. Patty. Clifton; I,. F.
