Among the high scores at the show

let, which scored 945a. The same score
was also given to a white Plymouth
Rock pullett and a hen in the Barred
Plymouth Rock class was given a
score OF 90.
Sept Fl. p. Cooper remarked today
that more attractive to the ordinary
visitor than the birds themselves are
the eggs gathered daily from the coops.
Fresh eggs are so scarce that their ap-
pearance in any great numbers attract
more than ordinary comment.
President Crabbe says he thinks he
will look UP the professor of a leading
university who is reported to have re-
Gently stated that chickens with short
toenais are the best layers" Mr..
Crabbe said, Perhaps 1t is so, for
chickens with long toenails waste all
of their time in the garden"
Tonight the annuai meeting of the
state poultry association will be held
and at this meeting will be elected
officers for the ensuing year. Also it
will be decided where the next show
VIII be held, and it Is likely to be at
some other point than Fargo, for the
reason that the officers of the associa-
ton cannot help but realize that the
people OF the city Of Fargo seem to
have lost interest in the important
event. really prominent winter at
traction, at least that is the conclusion
reached from the fact that Fargoans
do not visit the show, the faces Of a
great many of the business men have
not been seen to enter the gates this
year and for several years. In other
respects too there has been q lack
OF local interest. A number of cities
in the state are anxious to have the
show and have promised all sorts OF
inducements, as it is considered quite
a prestige for a town to have such an
attraction during the winter months.
