The competition this year was much
stronger than in former years, several
Institutions entering tine contest wa1oA
had not before been represented.
One fact that is worthy Of note =
that every class that has been under
the training Of Professor W. J. Ken
f,edy mas won the tISpny, he OSAAi8 j
connected with the University Of Illi-
nois when that institution carried on
the prizes in 1900, and that since the
class OF the animal hushandry depart-
ment at the Iowa State College has
been under his instruction this tnstitu-
ton has held 1t.
The team this year was selected by
their standing in class work. The
competition was very keen for the cov-
eted places and those selected made
strong team, and entered the contest
with feeling that they would do their
utmost to retain the coveted trophy at
the Iowa State College.
Not only does Iowa win the trophy
this year. but it now becomes the
property of the college. having been
won three times in succession.

test by C. E. Howard. OF New Provi-
dence, is another feather In the State
