By Your Ful-O-Pep Reporter Graml Valley, DrisJon, Blylh, Comber and Now HanilmrB were all covered during the past few days by your Ful-0-Pep reporter. The DRESDEN folks did them- selves proud and presented a very well-balanced all-roiiml program in spite of tlie fact iliat, to a lar^je degree, this was billed mainly as a cattle show. The grounds were spot- less, the buildings freshly painted, and the attendance was consider.ibly over that of previous years. The Scotch short-horn bull "Gen Mar Gem," owned by W. A. Wilson of Kcntyre Stock Farms, was one of the top-notch entries, and herds- man J. B. Easton may well be proud of tliis animal for he was the grand champion at Exeter (3-year-olds). Mr. Wilson's herd is exclusively Ful- O-Pcp fed, and his high praise of Ful-O-Pep feeds was indeed swcft music to your reporter's cars. It was interesting to note that horse- racing has received an added impetus in the last few years. Two races a day were held at Dresden and the crowds evinced great interest in these events. Grand stand perform- ances were featured afternoon and evening, sponsored liy Nfr. Simpson of Windsor, during which the local band (26 pieces) played. The first farm machinery exhibit since the beginning of the war was one of the outstanding features. The BLACK .VND WHITE CLL.B proved to be one of the big drawing cards at Bf.YTH. Here too racing was featured. Bailie Parrott handled his job as starter with snre- ness and aplomb. The Boys' and (}irls' Band, spon- sored by the BIytli Lions Club, did some e.xcellent marching and play- ing. This Band stood fifth in the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto this year, and proved to be a great crowd pleaser. Mjss Josephine Woodcock of Blyth won seven firsts and seven seconds in the (lower competition, which was one of the large attractions in the main building. One of the new events this year was a log-sawing competition, fea- turing the Hallahan Brothers vs. the Watson Brothers. The EAST LUTHER AGRl- CULURAL SOCIETY'S 75th an- nual fall exhibition at GRAND VALLEY was highly successful. Mr. Fred Taylor, President, was very active and nnich of the suc- cess was due to his efforts and those of Secretary-Treasurer Walt- er Richardson. Mr. Willis Round- ing, al.'o an officer of the Society, contributed a great deal towards making tlie exhibition so higlily popular. The racing events featured a free- for-all trot pacing event, and a special feature was the half-mile running race for ponies. The children's parade at Comber was one of the highlights of this Fair. Prizes were given for the best decorated bicycles in tlie parade and the youngsters went for this in a big way. The parade was led by the weekly band. Six floats helped make this feature a pogular one. Farm equipment machinery was one of the outstanding attractions, and the Secretary of the F'air, Mor- lc> Elliott, showed a No. 30 Tmctor, a No. 7 Combine, a Walking Plough, a Grain Grinder, and â-  2 Xo. !)5 Trailers, as well as addi- tional equipment. Mr. Elliott was very active on the Exhibition Com- mittee and contributed much to- wards helping to make the hair a success. Old Boys and C.irls of Grand \'alley were especially invited and many turned out for the occasion. At NEW HAMBURG your Ful- O-Pep reporter encountered heavy rain, which made it dilficult to obtain good pictures. However, in betwcL-.i the rain squalls we managed to ret some shots which will appear on this page next week. The New Hamburs fair was the largest covered by your reporter to date, and was well worth anyboily - time to see. The large grand stand affords a fine view of (he race track which, though soinwhat muddy, pro- vided the scene for some of the best races witnessed by your reporter up to the time of writing. Tlic cxbihils in the main bulding were not only numerous, but were displayed in a most professional and eye-catching manner. The wl'ole tone of this fair seemed to say "Here is the Ontario Fair at its best I' The Fall Fairs of Ontario provide the opportunity to keep abreast of ihc latest agricultural developments. The city man at the small town Fair never fails to be amazed at the iiro- fcssional air which predominates at the small town Fairs. Here he sees mere youngsters with their live stock entries bandllnf their nnrtirnliir cm- rant with skill ami pr<ifessinnal know-how. l*h(i!i);,-r;iljh: Kul-0-l'<-i' I'luuoiirapher. COMBER â€" Bill Watson shown above with Barreil Rock Pullet, which won first ])rize. The idea that the farmer too bat- tles the supply and demand problem is a notel one to the urban dweller. Probably for the first time in his life he is conscious of the tact that rais- ing chainpion live stock is an art in itself. For the first time the city man appreciates the fact that men who raise champions know full well that the extra growth and finish the judges like can only be assured by the use of highest (piality feed. The name Ful-O-I'cp on any bag of feed guarantees this quality. In these da\s. when (|uality is, in many cases, being sacrificed for quantity, leading cattle breeders invariably specify Ful-O-Pep. They are more than conscious that when they use this feed of champions they are tculy using the best that money can buy. Fid-O-Pep is the feed in which quality is paramount. Available to Animals Penicillin Sulfa Even animals will benefit from the healing inlluenccs of penicillin and the sulfa <lrugs, says the Ottawa Journal. Under the new regulations, a druggist may sell sulfas or penicillin for vetererinary use to any live- stock owner without prescription, Health .Mini.ster Faul Martin an- nounced. The amended regulations include the salts of penicillin and the salts and derivatives of the sulpho- namides for veterinary use. Druggists may now sell the drugs to any bona fide livestock owner who is known to him, or, to whom he has been introduced by someone known to both the owner and the druggist. The druggist must keep a record of each sale, the name, address and sig- nature of the owner, and the name and quantity of the drug .sold. Particular,; of sales and of cus- tomers are to be kept in the same manner as poison sales are handled. As an added precaution, packages of the drugs intended for veterinary use must be distinctively overprinted. Ordinary packages of penicillin and sulfas must not be sold for veterin- ary purposes. An Aberdonian asked a shop- keeper ill Glasgow for a penny- "worth of c'leesc. "We don't sell pennyworths," Said the sliopkeeper. "Well, show me two penny- worth," said the Scot. This was produced, whereupon the customer whipped out his pock- ctknife, cut it in tAvo, put down his penny and, picking up half of the cheese, said: "Trouble with you is â€" vou'rc la/.v.'"' A farmer who was asked what time he went to work in the morn- ing replied: ".Son, I don't have to go to work. I'm surrounded with it when 1 get up."
