St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1910-11-19

Qay anu OdluTudys SOFSuuSl d1u
IL, brought out large crowds and
favorable comment was heard on all
sides for the good showing that was
made. Few had any idea that so
much interest was being taken in
stock and poultry breeding.
The exhibition was gotten up by
the Park Commission for the benefit
of the park fund, and it is to be
regretted that it's scope could not
have been enlarged to include farm
products as we'll; but the limited
means at hand and the short time
in which arrangements were made
did not make it practicable. The at
tendance and the exhibits, however,
proved that q parish fair could be
conducted with great benefit to the
people and that St. Tammany parish
| is much further advanced in agricul-
ture and stock raising than has been
generally known.
Mr.. D. J. Sanders, president of the
Park Board, deserves much credit for
the success of the exhibition. The
Women of the Progressive Union,
movement in favor of Covington,
materially aided in financing the af-
| fair by the manner in which they
| conducted the refreshment booths,
wheel of fortune, etc, and made it
pleasant for visitors. They turned
| quite a neat sum into the treasury
taking in $119, from which will have
to be deducted the expenses, about
! forty dollars.
The gate receipts were $100.25
and entry fees about $500.
The Vaudeville Brass Band rem
dered good music, and are also to
| be complimented for their reasonable
charge.
| The work of Mr.. A. E. Shaw, as
fudge of poultry and pet animals
showed him thoroughly qualified for
his work, and in consequences those
receiving prizes under hi S Judge
ment may know that they have won
upon merits that make their birds
or animals valuable as prize-winners
In illustration of this fact it may be
stated that Mr.. Francis l.. Coyle has
| received inquiries from New Orleans
asking him for selling prices of his
prize winning chickens.
The following were the rules fol

Entry Fee-Poultry, single pen
