JUDGES ARE VERY BUSY

The judges are busy with the task of making the awards in the tenth annual show that is being given in Birmingham by the Alabama Poultry and Pet Stock association. The task is a very difficult one on account of the keen competition of the exhibitors and the high standard of excellence in most all the birds on ex- hibition.
 The show is pronounced by those who are familiar with such things as the best ever seen in this state and far above the average of such shows in any part of the country.
 The number of entries is very large and the judges will be busy for several days in grading all the birds of the several classes, Five regular prizes in each class have been offered. The regular prizes consist of ribbons and money.
 A large number of special prizes con- ssting of money, silver cups and other articles of value have been offered and the competition for these honors is very keen. There are more than forty of these special prizes.
