 which is being held at the Auditorium. Peculiarly in evidence again were small farmers from around Montgom- cry and negro tillers of the soil. who bought eggs and stock and by next year will have high class poultry to
 enter in the competition.
 Noticeable also in the throng were business men of Montgomery and their wives. Many of these purchased eggs and birds.
 Speaking of these people, Jesse Adams, president of the Association said "every man and every woman likes to taste of the country. There are few people. who have not spent part of their life on farm and there are no more striking mementoes of the rural life than the growing of the cock and the cackiing of the hen. Then too its source of amusement to many per sons. There is a chicken craze, just as there is a Belgian hare craze, a bicycle craze. golf craze, or an auto- mobile craze There's a fascination In raising poultry and especially high class poultry and this chicken show will do much toward filling practically every barn yard in Montgomery with blooded stock. There is also a source of profit in chicken raising and there's more profit in raising good stock than scrub stock. Eggs from good birds bring anywhere from $10 to SIS hun dred and If the owner is a good breeder he can get anything he wants for his birds.
 Late yesterday afternoon, Governor Cunningham paid his first visit to the | show. He carefully inspected each coop and commented on the excellence | and magnitude of the display His Exceliency was raised on Rus sell County farm and he knows good | poultry stock. He viewed with inter- l est each of the prize winners and con graduated many of the owners. The Governor was introduced by President Adams to Loring C. Brown. judge of the show and H. J. McCafferty of Birmingham, superintendent of the | display. He congratulated them on | their work.
 Contrary to schedule the show did not close last night. Practically all | the awards were made last night but the management decided to hold the show open until noon today in order to give Montgomery farmers an op- portunity to see the show. Saturday is always farmers day in Montgomery and it is expected that the show will draw an unusually large number to the city. By the time the show opens this morning all of the ribbons will be up and the winning chickens will be quite in evidence. LeRoy D. Teasley of Montgomery. secretary of the association, said last night that the success of the first show assured the permanency of the exhibit. | When we first organized the associa- l tion several months ago and there were | five members present we had little idea
 of having anything but a very small
 show. We thought perhaps that if we
 had fairly attractive little show we
 would arouse interest and could per- haps hope for better things In the fu- ture. But this frat show has been such a tremendous success that we fully believe that the Montgomery
 show in the future will be the star Southern exhibit. We have come out on top financially, the attendance being surprisingly satisfactory, but If we
 hadn't we would not have much diffi-
 culty in raising the money.
 The show has brought lots of out-of-
 town people here and the merchants
 and business men don't mind helping
 an assured success. We have received Congratulations on all sides"
