market who believe that it is one Of
the best means of spreading the gos-
pei of good farming that it is possible
to devise. The admission fee to the
show is therefore only nominal one
and the opportunity to share in the
benefit of the displays and lectures is
open to all. That these benefits may
be accorded those most in need Of
them and as means of interesting
farmers who have never exhibited at
any show outside their own locality
or county the management has set
aside a very liberal proportion of the
$4,000 offered in premiums to be CIV
en- to amateur exhibitors and from this
competition all professional breeders
and exhibitors who have entered stock
at state fairs and like eXpositions will
be barred. Farmers are encouraged
to offer their products as the experi-
ence gained will be highly beneficial
and will pave the way for success lat
er even though it is not scored this
year. The fact that there is always
a ready market for livestock of all
kinds at South st. Paul insures an op-
portunity to sell all stock at the con-
clusion Of the show at good market
prices.
The show this year has a new and
substantial home, housing facilities
having been provided for all exhibits
The show now enjoys the distinction
OF being the only one Of it's kind in
the country to offer all its attractions
under cover. Carload entries of live
stock which have heretofore been
shown in the stockyards will be dis
played in sheltered building, feat
ure that will appeal to both exhibitors
and spectators. The show ring and
pavilion has been enlarged and it's
capacity doubled in line with the gen.
eral enlargement of the show.
The management has prepared a
list of lectures to be delivered by lead
ing speakers on farm topics from all
parts of the country. These lectures
in conjunction with the displays of
stock and grain will constitute an ed
rcational feature of far greater value
to any farmer than the money it will
cost to journey to South St. Paul to
hear and see. Several counties of the
northwestern states will make dis
plays Of their products and these will
be both interesting and instructive.
During the week of the show the
uleCLlI6 VI Iuc AIluuCSUUd C1clU
Crop Breeders association will be
held in South st. Paul and also that
of the Minnesota Livestock Breeders
association. Entertainment features
and music will be provided so that
visitors may not feel disappointed in
any sense in attending the show.
On Thursday evening all exhibitors
at the stock show and at the corn and
grain show will be entertained at the
annual banquet at the Merchants ho-
tel, ST. Paul, given by the Northwest
ern Livestock association. This will
be one Of the big events and will come
at the conclusion of the judging Of
stock.
A capable and impartial list Of
judges has been secured to award the
money and trophies and every exhibit
or will be given an absolutely fair
deal at South st. Paul. A good attend
ance is all that is now needed to make
the Northwestern show this year the
greatest success in it's history. 1t is
up to the farmers and their families
throughout this territory to provide
the attendance. The management will
make good on its part of the program
and provide four splendid days Of
helpfulness and entertainment for its
guests,
