The second annual poultry show to
be held under the auspices of the Ida
no Poultry association at Boise, De-
cember rs to 20, inclusive, will sur
pass any exhibition of the kind yet
attempted within the borders of the
state, according to reports received
from fanciers and raisers of poultry
in various sections of the state. Plans
are being made by the executive COM
mittee for monster mass meeting
within the next few weeks to arouse
interest and enthusiasm in the forth
coming show.
The premium list promises to be
one of the most elaborate and COM
plete yet published for poultry ex-
hibition in western state. 'Mer-
chants and business men of the larger
towns of southern Idaho as we'll as
those of Boise have given the com.
mittee assurance of hearty support,
many generously offering premiums
for various exhibits without solicita-
ton. The list of special premiums will
without question, be one Of the larg-
est ever offered to exhibitors.
Arrangements are being made by
the advertising committee Of the as
ISOLATION for circulating some 5000
copies of the premium list through
out the intermountain states, partic-
ularly through the southern part of
Idaho county. All poultry raisers, in
Guiding the large as wei as the small
owner and breeder, are rallying to
the support of the association and
Secretary Medic Hills expresses con-
fidence that at least 1000 birds will
be entered when the show opens De-
cember 26. Idaho, Washington, Ore
gon and Utah exhibitors will be rep
resented at the show, which will be
one of quality as we'll as quantity in
the way of exhibits. With many ap-
plications for entries coming in daily
the committee is confronted with the
problem of furnishing coops for all
exhibits, but poultry fanciers are, COM
ing forward generously and assisting
In relieving this shortage, almost
everyone volunteering to advance 81 to
cover cost of construction of addition
al coops.
The campaign of education and de-
velopment which is being waged by
the Idaho State Poultry association
since an organization was affected is
having it's wholesome effect in stimu-
lating the poultry industry. Many new
people entered the poultry business
Immediately following the first an
nual show of the association, which
demonstrated to all the specifically in
clined that the poultry industry is
here to stay as one of the permanent
profitable institutions of the country.
At the second annual show, two
judges of national repute for poaltry
Judging and scoring will doubtless be
in attendance If the plans of the ex-
ecutive committee under considera-
ton are realized, and there is every
reason to believe that they will be.
Plans are under consideration for
a meeting of the association in the
near future to which the public as
well as all poultry fanciers and rails
ers will be invited. Papers will be
presented covering the various phases
of the poultry industry, which will be
of inestimable value and benefit to
novices in the poultry business and
also give some of the old timers or
more experienced raisers and breed
ers valuable pointers as to proper care
of fowls. The object sought by the as
ISOLATION is to raise the standard of
the various breeds and with this in
view an educational campaign to en-
tighten and inform the people as to
the best breeds will be constantly con-
Quoted by the association.
