Live Stock show at Chicago. The
trophy is offered to the State Agricul-
ttSral college whose students make the
best score in judging live stock at the
international show, which is held each
year at Chicago. The show this winter
was held several weeks ago. Iowa had
captured the trophy the last two years
and if it secured it again it would have
the privilege of keeping it.
But when the judges made up their
scores it was found that the trophy was
liable to go to Kansas this year. The
markings We're turned over to the man
agement of the show but not made pub
lie. The other institutions learned how
matters stood and there was trouble.
They could not allow the prize to go
away out to a western state like Kan
sas. Besides Kansas has never sup
ported the International show. Its sup
port has rather gone to the Royal Live
Stock show at Kansas City, a rival of
the International.
Accordingly a new set of judges was
ordered and new markings made. AS a
result Iowa gets the prize and will keep
the trophy.
