Des Moines, Aug 24.-!There is to be
| the stiffest kind of competition this
year in the Angus cattle breeds at the
Iowa state fair. Angus cattle are
distinctly Iowa cattle. The best An
gus cattle there are in the world are
right here in Iowa. In fact there are
no very big and fine herds Of Angus
cattle except those in Iowa. There
are some herds over in Illinois and
| some in other states, but Iowa's herds
lead them all.
in Angus cattle in Iowa in years
past Otto v. Battles, of Maquoketa.
Iowa, has had somewhat the best of it.
w. A. MoHenry, of Denison, is quite
an extensive breeder of Angus cattle,
but Battles has seemed to. lead the
race in the iowa fair as we'll as in all
others. Lately the Rosengift stock
| farm of Kelley, has been organized with
the avowed purpose of going after the
| laurels of the Maquoketa man. In the
Rosengift stock farm is Professor Ken
nedy. professor of. animal industry at
the Iowa State Agricultural College,
who is counted one of the best judges
of live stock in America.
| This year the Rosengift stock farm
has a lot of entries in the Angus breed.
Otto " Battles is fully aware of the
| intentions of the Rosengift people, and
he has brought the best he has, which
| he thinks Is the best that there is.
Angus lovers are therefore looking on
with considerable interest this year.
Furthermore the Angus entries are
more numerous this year than In pre-
,vious years. There are many more
! breeders entered than the three named
| and some OF them have imported ami
mails which are likely to put up stlf
competition for the big prizes.
Governor Packard superintendent OF
the cattle department. said today that
in Herefords the Iowa state fair this
year outclasses anything in both quail
ity and quantity and that the same Is
true both of .Shorthorns and Angus.
Only four girls competed this year
for the Ames scholarship. Three OF
them will get prizes. One will get a
500 scholarship at the state agricul-
tural college, another $50. and another
s25. The money will be paid to them
when they enter the college. Un-
doubtedly there will be many more
girls enter the cooking contests an
other year. The chance of a scholar
ship at Ames is too valuable a prize.
| A prize of $100 will go long way
toward sending girl thru one year OF
college.
In the contests Saturday one OF the
girls made the mistake Of frying her
beer-steak, poor girl, and some of the
baking powder biscuit was not the best
and NOT such as mother used to
make" but they were all eatable. Even
the fried beef-steak was eataDle.
Beef-steaks are supposed to be broiled.
| A number of girls stood about watch
ino their sisters compete. They will
Icome back next year with some new
ideas and probably will>be competitors
them selves. 1t is claimed that the
gasoline stoves in which they were
required to do the >work We're not
working the best.
The four girls who entered the COM
netition were Sheila Hasbrouck, OF
Humeston, Iowa, Louise Wood, OF Iowa
Falls, Pansy Edwards of Des Moines,
and Ruby Lynch Of Ames.
Tn. the bows contests the entries were
kmore numerous The boys of Iowa
seem to realize the value of an edu-
cation at Ames and they turned Out
in numbers. There were total OF
thirty-three entered. They were given
! two rings or horses, two rings OF cat
tie and two of swine with three ami
mails in each ring and were required
also to judge corn.
