Z Utah Poultry association came TO

chicken fanciers who have been con
nccted with previous exhibits. About
800 blOOded fowls were entered in the
recent show, and from the scores made,
are flock of which the state can be
proud.
The attendance this year has been
. larger than heretofore, a fact that is

George A. Poulten Of Ogden writes
to The Herald explaining a story cir
oulated to the effect that a false
feather had been substituted i'm the
tail of one of the prize winning chick
ems in the Poultry show. Mr.. Poulten
says:
The first prize Brown LeghoTn cock
erel at the Salt Lake show Is owned
by George A. Poulten and not by Mr..
Gunter." / exhibited this bird at the
recent Ogden show. where he also won
first place. Owing TO an accident
which happened between the time Of
the Ogden show and the time of the
Salt Lake show, one of the sickle
feathers in this cockereIs tail became
very badly bent in the shaft. / sup
ported by a splint this damaged feath-
er so that anyone might see it was
an accident Had the feather been
broken off entirely the bird would
have had TO suffer for it as there would
have been no proof that the missing
feather was not off in color. Any one
with any sense would have seen this
at once.
''In conclusion. I want to say my
birds were awarded first place by the
official judge at the show, and won on
merit alone. I shall expect full credit
for winnings, and all premiums due
me-
