Association Will open January and
clos" January 8 The officers and
members OF the association have
been quite active In arranging for
this event and they hope 10 make IL
the greatest show ever held In Tex
rs. Fanciers from different parts
OF the state will have birds on ex-
hibition. and II is expected that
more than one thousand will be
shown,
The Waxahachie Poultry and Pet
Stock Association came into exis-
tenee eleven years ago. its first
name being the Ellis County Poul-
Try and Pet Stock Association, which
name II kept for seven years. the
name then being changed TO the pres
ent one
The first. as well as all subsequent
exhibitions, have been held at Waxa-
hachie. save the third. which was
held at Ennis
The first show consisted of one
hundred and twenty-five birds. At
tne tenth show there was something
over One thousand birds on exhibit
tion The growth of the show has
been gradual and steady. This is at
tributed to the courteous treatment
given exhibitors, care given the ex.
hi5its, and the fact that not one
sihgl" premium ri advertised re-
mains uupaid
the first entrance fee was l0c
per head Fnst racmium was soc.
The present entrance fee is 25c sin
gle head. Sl00 additional pen
premiums fifty per cent of entrance
fee for firsts. twenty-five per cent
for seconds. This percentage plan has
been adopted this year by the associ-
alton because it is believed TO be
just to both the exhibitor and the
association The breeders of the
popular varieties pay the bulk of
the entry fees and, under the per-
centage plan, will receive the larg-
est premiums, while the breeders of
the less popular varieties will re-
ceive premiums also in accordance
with the number of birds entered in
their particular variety When 1t is
remembered that some of the varie-
ties had from 100 to over 900 enter
ed last year, some lively competition
is looked for this year.
/ The association owns is own pa
| tent coops and, through the courtesy
| of liberal citizens, it has always been
| enabled to procure a good show room
at low rental The show has al
ways been literally patronized by tn,
public, both in the city and sur
rounding country. This means much
! to the exhibitor, as the mere bring
ing together of a thousand fowls
would not accomplish much for the
exhibitor, who usually exhibits for
| the advertising il affords, and not
| for the premiums alone.
Among those to whom the assoCi-
/ alton is mostly indebted for its sue
| cess, as we'll as its existence, are
