Forest Fires Again Burning at Quesnel Lake In a sudden change from last week’s fire condition in district forests, this week ninety men are batiling in t Quesnel Lake area to control six fires. All but one caused by last Satur- day’s electrical storm, the fires were fermed ‘under control’ last night bg Forest Ranger Ken Petersen, but he Stated the situation was grave as long as present weather conditions persisted. The only bright spots in the picture is that the humidity re- mains high and the season is fairly well advanced. Last year’s long-drawn-out forest fire battle in the same area started July 14. Four of the fires are on the North Arm of Quesnel Lake, with 30 meu patrolling them. The largest one has burned over six acres and the re- mainder are small “spot! fires. The fire burning on the East Arm is in good timber along the Horsefiy Lake watershed. Fifty men are em- ployed here. A blaze" is reported on Horsefy Bay and another is burning over a a bulldozer has been brought into action here.

XHIPTFORS LISTED ~ Special Ju Coming For Gladiolus Section of Fair Ww, run in conjunction with the Cariboo Fall Fair, will have its own judge. | This year’s Gladiolus Sho ' | Harvey Turnbull of Lillooet, an | 2eeredited judge for the Canadian Mr. Turnbull has spent the past 25 years growing thousands of glads annually and judging shows in his spare time. But this will still be only one sec- tion of this year’s Fair, which is held August 21 and 22. The other flow- ers, the vegetable exhibits, field for- age, home cooking, handicraft and hobby sections will also be well rep- resented with exhibitors. At the invitation of The Tribune, District Agriculturist Joe Walsh has written some hints that exhibitora will find worth while following in preparing their entries, If a pros- pective exhibitor is in doubt on any point, he can contact any executive member of the Fair Association, who will find the answer for him. PREPARATION OF DISPLAYS In the selection and preparation of flowers and vegetables for exhibition the following three general sugges- tions should be followed: (1) Get a copy of the fair cata ogue, study it, and mark the classes you expect to compete in. (2) Read the rules and regula- ,Hons. Note the Division and Class of each of your entries and the num- Ive required. (3) Get a copy of “Exhibition Standards of Perfection” from your jlocal Agricultural office and study the standards of perfection for eavit vegetable. Get fixed in your mind the ideal type for each class and select accordingly. VEGETABLES In a vegetable class the specimens making up an entry should he uniform in size. form, colour and quality. The size should be moderare ‘since vegetalles too large or too small are usually course, vough. of low quality or immature. Colour should be bright and clear and the form should be true to type and with as little waste as possible. All speci- ; should be finn and mature; and should be in good condition and of good quality. Qual- ;dty is the most important thing ‘about vegetables and the exhibitor should study each kind separately in “Exhibition Standard.” In preparing an entry for show, all Toot vegetables should be washed or brushed free from dirt and trimmed fibrous roots and tops. Cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, ecl- ery, ete, should be trimmed to make them appear more attractive. Pota- toes should be cleaned with a soft brush or washed. * In vegetable collections, varie: should be large and individual items of collection should be of high stand- ard. The display should be attractive with varieties neatly labelled. FLOWERS In picking flowers for exhibition the exhibitor should select for uni- formity, size, color, form, freedom |from blemishes, and condition: but f course for different reasons than those outlined above. For most class- es uniformity as to size and form and to a lesser degree color is ‘important, In making up an entry calling for a number of stems a single vutstana- ing bloom should not be included. 12 your garden contains exceptionally fine specimens of certain varieties but not enough to make up an entry fin individual classes, then incorpor- [ate those blooms in Classes 29 or 30 | (bowls of cut flowers).
