The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-07-24

The poultry department of the Alabama
State Fair this year will be in charge
of E. H. Galusha, and the association
has gone out of the state to secure Judge
F.. ]. Marshall Of College Park, Ca. one
of the best authorities on poultry in the
country.
Mr.. Galusha expects to have exhibits
from Alabama which will outclass any
thing from any other state. The fanciers
in Alabama have increased in number,
and in ability, and 1t is expected that
within a few years large tent will be
required to hold the Alabama exhibits
alone.
However, the largest tent purchasable
will be used for the poultry department,
and it Is probable that other tents will
have to be put up to carry the overflow.
The association is offering good prizes
for every class, and in order to encour-
age Alabama people to exhibit. $40 Ia
offered for the largest exhibit from an
Alabama farm. Following are the spe-
cial premiums offered by outsiders:
