This must be affixed to the article to be exhibited. The tag stub shall be retained by the exhibitor and, when presented to the superintendent of the department after the close of the Fair will constitute an order for the delivery of the articles bearing the corresponding number. Exhibits not picked up will be held at fair office Monday and Tuesday 10-5 for late pickup, unless parishable. SHIPMENT AND RECEPTION OF EXHIBITS The Fairgrounds will be open for the reception of all exhibits for 2 days preceding the Fair.

JuDGES AND AWARDS Judges will report to the superintendent in charge at their respective departments at 9 o’clock a.m. of the day fixed for awarding the premiums on the classes which they are respectively to judge. Should any doubt arise as to the regularity of any entry or other important matter which the judge feels incompetent to decide, he shall report the same to the management, through the superintendent in charge of the department and his decision shall be final. Premium Number – Where exhibits owned by but one exhibitor are entered the management reserves the right to award one premium only, and the judge may at his discretion, withhold any or all awards where the animal or article is not worthy. The decision of awarding judges shall be final, and no appeal will be considered except in cases of protest. Any exhibitor attempting to interfere with the judges during their adjudication will be promptly excluded from the competition. Any exhibitor who publicly expresses disapproval in the arena or on the grounds by the decision of the judges, or who by act of interference, shall be guilty of conduct unbecoming an exhibitor, shall forfeit the pre-mium and be excluded from further competition. Awards will be designated by ribbons as follows:
Champion and Reserve Champion Royal Purple & Lavender
First Premium Blue Second Premium Red Third Premium White PROTESTS Any exhibitor lodging a protest must make it in writing and it must be delivered to the Secretary within six hours after the judging or the cause of
protest will not be considered valid. It must state plainly the cause of complaint, and must be accom-panied by a deposit of ten ($10.00) dollars which sum may in the discretion of the Board of Directors be forfeited to the Fair Board if the protest is not sustained. If said protest is sustained, money will be forthwith returned to protestant, but this provision shall not preclude the right of any director or judge to bring any case of fraud by an exhibitor before the notice of the Board of Directors for their consider-ation, in which case the board reserves the right to act in the premises as fully and to the same extent as if a formal protest has been filed by an exhibitor.
PROGRAM It is impossible to publish in this premium list the definite daily program of the Fair, owing to the early date of going to press. The management has arranged for a well-balanced exposition in all departments, together with good amusement attrac-tions and a splendid program, all to be brought up to a standard that will meet the approval of the general public. The complete daily program will be pub-lished in due time in our leading papers and will be posted in conspicuous places on the grounds during the Fair. DuTIES AND PRIVILEGES OF
EXHIBITORS Exhibitors will at all times give the necessary personal attention to whatever they may have on exhibition and at the close of the Fair must take entire charge of same.

REGuLATIONS FOR DEPARTMENTS F AND G
All entry forms must be in Fair Office by 2 p.m. Wednesday. Exhibits must be in place by 3:00 p.m. Wednesday and remain in place until 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. Judging is at 9 a.m. on Thursday. Anything not claimed by 6 p.m. Saturday will bediscarded. Exhibition in this class is strictly on a utility basis, and all entries must be truly representative of the actual supply available after being cleaned. Exhibitors are urged to respect the spirit of the util-ity feature of this class and make it a true show, representative of the bulk prepared for sale and safe for the prospective buyer of improved crop. Exhibits will not be eligible for competition unless the amount stipulated in the premium list is shown. All sheaf grain bundles must be 6” in cir-cumference at base of head and snugly tied in at least three places. Forage crops tied securely in two places and 6” in circumference, the lower tie within 3” of the base, all grown this year. Threshed grain, seeds and corn may have been grown in either this year or last year. No exhibitor will be permitted to make more than one entry in any one lot. Entries in Department O cannot compete in these departments unless separate entry and exhibit are made. All express shipments for the department should be billed through to the Fairgrounds, and all charg-es should be prepaid. This will avoid any delay in delivery. Money prizes will be paid only upon articles listed in this premium list, and in strict compliance with these rules. Premiums will be paid according to awards from the judge’s books and not by pre-mium tags. Additional lot numbers for varieties not listed may be added upon consent of superintendent and judge in these departments. Each exhibitor must fill out own entry forms and tags if capable.
HINTS TO EXHIBITORS In judging threshed grain the points most con-sidered are: purity, uniformity and the fitness of the sample for the purpose for which the particular class of grain is used. In the sheaf samples of grain, the evidence of high yielding ability and the condition of the sam-ples are regarded as important. Sheaves of grain are not judged on their forage qualities. Forage exhibits are judged on their value. This means that the entire plant is considered. Proper curing, which retains the leaves and color, is essential in preparing forage exhibits.
CLASSES NO. 1 TO 5 Threshed grains, seeds, and corn may be grown either this year or last year.

HINTS TO EXHIBITORS The outstanding points to be considered in selecting a vegetable exhibit are quality and condition. The judging of a vegetable exhibit is generally based on the readiness of the products for immediate use. The quality of the product is determined by actual test. Medium sizes are generally preferred to the very large sizes. Uniformity, a point which applies to exhibits that include more than one specimen, is particularly impor-tant. Uniformity largely determines the appearance of the exhibit.. The following information has been compiled which we believe will aid exhibitors in preparing vegetables for exhibits. BEETS – Color and tenderness are desirable qualities in beets. Oversize should be avoided. As a rule, beets from 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter are best. Beets showing white streaks should be avoided. They should be smooth, without side roots or cracks. If topped, be sure that an inch of leaf stalk is left on; may be rinsed. BEANS – Green-Snap beans should be under, rather than over mature. Long straight specimens the same length and color should be selected. Avoid stringiness. The pods should be free from rust spots, dirt and insect blemishes. The end of the bean should not be broken off
when picking it. The seeds in the pod should appear to be one-fourth to one-half grown. BROCCOLI – Cut stem before the first whorl of leaves. The lengths of the stem should not be over 5 inches. Heads should be compact, dark green, (Avoid yel-lowing) and free from decay, worm or damage caused by wilting or injury. CABBAGE – Type is very important. Leaves should not be peeled too closely. The head should be firm, heavy in proportion to size, not withered or soft, free from dam-age, freezing, disease or injury, and the midribs should not be large as that would indicate coarseness. Stems should be cut off. Trim lower leaves. CARROTS – Avoid oversize. Type is important. Quality is best in medium-sized specimens. Color is very important. A deep orange carrot as nearly coreless as pos-sible shows to good advantage. Greenish or pale yellow specimens, irregular and coarse specimens should be avoided. Carrots should appear fresh, crisp, firm, smooth, clean and free from sunburn, side roots, cracks or other damage. A green ring means too much sun, clear middle means stress. Trim top to 1”. MuSKMELON AND CANTALOuPES – Must be fully ripe when exhibited and free of soft spots or discol-oration. Pick on “full slip.” If several days elapse between picking date and exhibit, may be picked on “half slip” and permitted to ripen, stems attached. CAuLIFLOWER – The heads should be pure white, solid, uniform, smooth and close flowered. The heads should not show leaves appearing through the head. There should be no over mature or ricy specimens. The side leaves should be trimmed about 2 inches above the center of the head. Cut stems allowing 4 to 6 leaves to remain. Leaves should be free from damage and discoloration. Avoid exposing head to strong light. CELERY – Cut off root and wash. CORN – Harvest ears when filled out to the tip in the tender, juicy stage (before reaching dough stage). Remove part of husk, leaving 2 or 3 layers for protection against drying. Silks should be to tip of husk. CuCuMBERS for Pickles – Avoid oversize and extremes of immaturity and over-ripeness. Immature specimens are too spiny. Over ripe ones may turn white or yellow. Type and color are very important. Do not mix types. Leave stems on. CuCuMBERS for Slicing – Straight, firm, crisp and fresh. Colors should be green and white, not yellow. Avoid mature seed. A small seed cavity is desirable. Cucumbers may be washed. Leave stems on. KOHLRABI – Remove roots just below ball. Trim leaf stem to 1”. Kohlrabi should not be hard, woody, or pithy; it should be from 3 to 4 inches in diameter. The skin should be easily penetrated by thumbnail. ONIONS – Must be thoroughly ripened with necks dry. Uniformity and maturity are of particular importance. Type is important. Should be clean, smooth, and not peeled so as to be slick. The loose wrapper skins should not be removed. Onion must be solid and there must be no splits or doubles. Neck should be small. Onions should be free from damage caused by dirt, moisture, sunburn, disease, insects or other injury. ONIONS (DRY) - Approximately eight days before fair pull onions, twists tops and remove outer layer of dirty skin. Spread them out so air will pass over them until time to take to the Fair. PARSNIPS – Should be small in diameter and of great length. Free from rust and side roots. Parsnips should be light creamy color, not corky, top one inch above crown. PEAS - Choose those that are sweet, moist, and tender rather than those that are bitter, dry, and tough or woody. Wash if necessary.
Eastern Montana Fair 16
PEPPERS – True to variety, deep in color, fresh, firm and symmetrical. Sweet peppers should show no red color. All peppers should be free from sunscald or injury caused by insects and diseases. POTATOES - Commercial – Shape and Size – should be typical of the variety. Market demands in moderately oval, flat or round shape and of medium size, 8 to 12 ounces. Immediately after digging tubers, allow them to set on the ground for approximately 20 minutes to allow the skin to “set”. Avoid rough handling or cuts, skinning and bruising. Wash gently. Select medium to large tubers which are smooth and free of any defect. PuMPKIN for Pie – Uniformity with variety, type, size, and color (check with seed catalog for description of your variety). Free from insect and mechanical injury. Mature as shown by hardness of shell. Stems should be attached. RHuBARB – Stalks should be uniform in size and color. Should be fresh and brittle, not pithy. Stalks should be solid. Remove leaf. RuTABAGAS – Medium to large, uniform through-out, color bright and clean, fresh fine grained. Free from damage caused by freezing, pithiness, growth cracks, insects, disease or mechanical injury. SQuASH (Summer) – Stems must be left on. Pick when small, before maturity when the shell is extremely soft. Uniform in size, shape and color. Be sure samples are free from any damage or blemishes. May be washed. SQuASH (Winter) – Select mature specimens with shells hardened. Leave stem attached. Uniform in size, shape and color; free from damage. Extreme size is no advantage. TOMATOES – Use only perfect shaped specimens true to type, smooth, free from cracks, sunscald or any blemishes. Should be well colored (no green streaks), ripe, but not too ripe. Must be solid, remove stem, display with blossom end up. Display green tomatoes with the stem on. TuRNIPS – Medium sizes are generally desired as having higher quality. Large sizes may be bitter, corky or pithy. All samples should look alike, should be clean and bright in color, but not washed. Remove tops 1 inch above crown. Should be free of damage caused by freezing, pithiness, secondary rootlets. WATERMELON – Select large, well formed speci-mens of the variety; mature, but not over-ripe. Free from blemishes, or injury such as sunburn, insects or diseases. Wipe off, but do not wash. Leave short stem on the melon.

NOTES ON HORTICuLTuRE EXHIBITS- SuGGESTED BY JuDGE
All old blossoms, bug-eaten blossoms, broken leaves should be removed as carefully as possible by exhibitor. Uniformity is very important – length of stem, size of flowers, maturity of flowers, all should be as near alike as possible. It does not matter whether the flowers in an exhibit are all the same color or not. Other things are more important in judging, for instance, the preceding items. However, if a certain color is scheduled, uniformity is again important, and the colors should be as much the same as possible in each flower. An information sheet on getting flowers ready for the Fair is available at the Extension Office. *Stalk signifies all the flowers carried on one stalk. *Stem signifies one flower to each stem, except where all flowers are carried on one stem such as carnations or sweet peas. This does not include separate stems growing from the main stem. *Sprays signifies portions of plants with a number of flowers on one stem such as salpiglossis, cosmos, marigolds and others.
