It will be the community fair to bo held in Spanish Fork on these two days. The initial steps were taken at a recent meeting held at the home of Jos. F. Skinnr, when County Agent W. J. Thayne and Miss Ruby Smith of the County Extension Service, met with representative, from the local farm bureau and the different organizations, of the community. Some years ago, Spanish Fork held the best local fair of any community in Utah. Resulting from the Interest aroused in exhibiting at this time, over 80 first prizes were won by Spanish Fork people thru their exhibiting at the County Fair last fall. Then, too, the crops and livestock are better in and around Spanish Fork now than they were before the local fair was held. And there is more Interest in the home and its surroundings thru the Interest aroused in women's work at this local fair. So to keep up the good work started some years ago, to create Interest in better crops and better homes and to stlmulat Interest in the County Fair, the community fair will be held again this year. Similar local fafTs will be held in several other rural communities of the County. Lets show them that the Spanish Fork Fair will be the largest and best in Utah County, and then take the st from here to the Utah County Fair, September 20th to 22nd, and help make it the largest county fair in the State. The ladies section of the fair will be exceptionally good.

Bay officials of the Utah Poultrjr Producers as they announce plans for both Thanksgiving and Christmas turkey pools for this year. Marketing Utah turkeys under the Rocky Mountain Brand last year did much to si mulate buy- er interest in Utah turkeys and to assure a future strong demand. In the opinion of Alberlus Willardson, , and afield manager, who handles most of the turkey pool negotiations. ' The .eastern markets have found, even in a short time, that the Utah turkeys are of superior quality and are dependable. nt Indications are that the Uintah Basin will come back Into line this year as the principal turkey section of the state. .Millard and San Pete otunties promise to produce a larger volume of turkeys this season than last. Another section of importance is the Boxelder and Cache county region of northern Utah. Conditions in the Uintah Basin are ideal for turkey raising on a big scale and the Association Is seeking to develop the industry to the fullest extent in that region. With big alfalfa fields and plenty of grazing land, turkeys thrive and develop exceptional quality in the Basin, and in the past years turkeys from that region have been among the best sellers in the state.

( Fattening improves chicken meat. This Improvement, and not mere added weight, is the main object of fattening. Putting on at for fat's sake is purely secondary, When a chicken has been properly fattened, much of the water in its flesh is replaced by oil; so that when the chtc- ken is cooked, the flesh becomes tender and Juicy. A suitable fattening ration for chickens can be made from f variety of grains. Here is one: 6 parts by weight of corn meal, 2 rarts ground oats without hulls, 1 4 parts middlings and 4 parts meat scraps. Mix with milk, using two pounds of milk to 1 pound of mash. When you first put the broilers on the fattening ration be careful not to overfeed. Keep them with keen appetites, especially for the first few days. Then gradually increase the amount fed each time until toward the latter end of the fattening period, the broilers are getting all they will eat. Compound solution of creosol is one of the best disinfectants for the chicken roosts. It contains 60 per cent of Add one pint of it to 10 creosol. quarts of soft water. That makes a solution of the proper strength to apply to the houses and equipment Disinfect the roosts and roosting quarters with It thoroughly. It helps keep down the lice and mites. President F. S.
