Rivalry.
FANCIERS OF VALLEY
SHOW EXCELLENT BIRDS
One Pullet Is Declared by Judge

Judged.


who were numerous last spring, and
who had sufficient confidence in their
skill this fall to enter their birds in
competition at the state fair, were,
on the whole. fairly successful and
carried off a number of awards The
Herald has already made reference to
a number of these. particularly to the
success of A. II. Linse and d. A. Gill
lette, the latter being credited with
a bird nearer to the type of it's breed
than any other the judge had ever
scored. Considering merely the quail
ity of the fowls the poultry depart
ment at the state fair this fall was
nearer to perfection than any in the
Is years history of the institution.
Yakima, however, once again lost
out in its effort to win the county
prize. Pierce was first, Yakima sec
ond and King third. The birds shown
were from all sections OF the state and
the prize for the largest exhibit went
to Fred Jahnson of Tacoma will Mil
Ter Bros. of Fern Hill second and Vine
w. Caller of Seattle third The best
pen in the show was that of M. Jay
Myers of Portland, while Mrs. S. II.
Johnston was second and The Will
lows, Seattle, was third.
Collier Is Successful.
Harry II. Collier, superintendent OF
the show, was assisted by d. A. Gill
lette and A. II. Linse of North Yak
ina and the Judge was James A.
Af Of ha
most noted judges or feathered stock
to be found in America. Mr.. Collier
must be given credit for the fact that
year after year he has superintendent
the show of poultry at the state fair
and year after year has had his eX-
hibit in show condition as soon, and
usually sooner, than any other SUI
perintendent on the ground. He has
many handicaps to contend with in
holding poultry show in September,
but succeeds in giving the public as
good a display of birds as the country
warrants. He has succeeded in keep
ing the state fair abreast of the de-
velopment of the stock in this section
of the nation and has proven in more
than one instance that Washington
breeders are in the 'front.' rank.
