GREAT VICTORY FOR
LOCAL POULTRY SHOW
PACIFIC COAST CUP TO
BE AWARDED HERE
American Buff Plymouth Rock Club
Gives Pendleton Rich Plum-AII
Other Northwest Poultry Shows Out
distanced.

A signal victory has been won by
the Pendleton Poultry show over all
other poultry shows on the Pacific
coast. By a unanimous vote of all
members voting, the Pacific Coast cup
of the American Buff Plymouth Rock
club is to be awarded this year at the
Pendleton show. This show has also
been designated as the only one in
the northwest at which the National
Columbia Plymouth Rock club will
offer its special prizes this year.
This means that the members of
the two organizations residing on the
Pacific coast and in the northwest, in
Guiding the states of Oregon, Califor-
mia and Washington, also British Co.
lumbia, must send their birds to Pen
dleton in order to compete for the
beautiful silver cup of the Buff Rock
club and the special of the Colum bia
Rock club.
The fact that the Pendleton show
was chosen for these honors over the
California shows, those held in Port
land, Seattle, Spokane, Walla Walla
and Vancouver, B. c., demonstrates
beyond doubt that the annual exhi-
bitions of the Umatilla- Morrow county
poultry association are regarded by
Paific coast breeders as among the
very top notchers.
The question as to where the Pa
cific coast cup Of the Buff Rock club
shall be offered each year is left to
a vote of the members of the club re-
siding on the coast. In his letter to
the secretary Of the local show, d. j.
Beinhart of Kennewick, Washington,
who is the Pacific coast vice-president
of the American Buff Rock club says.
"All the votes have been in favor of
Pendleton, so the Pacific Coast Buff
Rock club will be awarded at the
Pendleton show"
This victory will result in a greatly
increased exhibit of birds and an in
creased attendance of Pacific coast
breeders. 1t will also result in an
increased membership in the National
organization for the reason that east
ern oregon breeders of Buff Rocks,
will join the club in order to compete
for the beautiful silver cup, suitably
engraved. Only members residing on
the coast and in good standing are
eligible to compete for the cup, accord
ing to the announcement received
from Secretary VIM. A. Stolts of Indi-
annapolis, to whom applications shou.d
be made for membership.
The exhibitor of the best cock, hen,
cockerel and pullet wins the cup.
The lions share of the credit for
the selection of the Pendleton show as
the place for awarding this cup, is
due b. F. Williams of Milton, the Ore
gon vice-president of the national or
ganization. Williams is recognized as
one of the most progressive growers
of standardized poultry in the state.
He is also an active and enthusiastic
member of the Umatilla- Morrow coun-
ty poultry association. He therefore
went out to land the prize for the
Pendleton show and succeeded.
Earl A. Williams, also of Milton,
Oregon vice-president of the Column
bian Plymouth Rock club, the man
who introduced the Columbian rocks
in the northwest, and a member of
the executive committee of the Una
tilla- Morrow county poultry associa
ton, is the man who named the Pen
dleton show as the one at which the
northwest club specials shall be Of
fered this year.
