ED. VIDETTE:
Please allow me through
your most excellent paper to speak
a word in behalf of the Tisho-
mingo County Poultry Associa-
ton. This Association organized
in March 1910, is the outgrowth
OF an attempt by local fanciers to
hold a poultry shoN in Iuka for
two seasons past; and we are pleas
ed TO state that both shows were
a surprise to everyb ,dv; and has
SO stimulated those interested in
more and better poultry; and has
SO aroused the farmers to TRY for
imprUv .nent in farm products
that the time seems auspicious for
the holding OF a poultry exhibition
in connection with an exhibition of
all farm prOluCts; and the above
association has tlEen upon itself
the task of holding such an exhi-
bition, and the time has been set
tor November 22al 23d and oath.
The services uf a noted expert
have been engaged to judge the
poultry farm products, canned
t-.ults and vegetables. preserves,
pickles etc. will be judged by C, m
hlttee or committees appointed
by the Association. Now it is up
to the good people of this whole
county to lndorse this move oent
SO auspiciously begun, by con-
trlDutlng aid both financially and
by speaking a good word when op-
portunity affords to the accom-
piishment of this grand purpose.
The Association, so newly hatch
ed, and struggling to get on its
It's without funds upon which to
move out; and the success of the
move will depend largely upon the
assistance given by those who are
wiling to offer special premiums
IN the way of money or other val
liable articles that will stimulate
the people to come together in
frienely rivalry to secure these
premiums. Many in both town
and county have already respond
ed nobly, and it is the purpose of
the Association to give all an OBJ
portunity to help. We regard
this disposition to lend helping
hand as an omen of better times,
and closer union in all things
that pertain to the uplift of the
whole people. Our premium list
will be ready to distribute in Au-
gust. The names of all parties
contributing, and the amounts
contributed by each, and the pur-
pose for which given will be stat
ted in this premium list. Also
roll of members of the Association
together with constitution and
bylaws governing the Association
and rules and regulations govern
ing the exhibition. These spec
ial premiums will be offered only
to exhibitors residing in the coun-
ty, the Association feeling that
they need special inducements.
The Association will offer ribbons
representing first, second and
third prizes competition for these
will be open to the world. The
awards will be announced, and
ribbons attached to coops just as
soon as the Judge has passed upon
all specimens, and delivered the
score cards to the Secretary and
he has had time to work out the
results. Those Winning special
premiums will be given an order
tor the premium ~ the party Of
ferlng the premium or same will
be delivered by he Association
during the show. Now. | wish to
say to one and ali, lett put our
shoulder to the Wheel. and by
united effort place the Tishoni lgo
County Poultry Association upon
the highroad to success ,and thus
add materially to the advance
ment of everything for which it
stands. Yours very truly,
DIR. w. A. Hodges, Pres.
for the Committee.
