The association is using as it's slogan
where winning is worth while
AS an earnest that the activity and
liberality of Ohio men in prizes is ap.
preciated by the poultry raisers of the
country, there is an assured display Of
more than 1900 birds. There will be
classes of all sorts, including also tur
keys, geese and pheasants. So desir
Gus is the management to secure a
fine showing of pheasants that it has
decided to receive these brilliant
birds without any entry fee, while
offering a full line of prizes. The
judges will be w. c. Pierce, Ira Kel-
lar, B. ]. McCracken and J. E. Gault,
all men of national reputation. AS
indicating that the show has passed
the boundaries of Ohio, inquiries for
entry blanks have been received from
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
Michigan, Indiana and Missouri Prof,
Charles S. Plumb, instructor in an
imal husbandry at o. S. u, is prcsi-
dent of the club, and William E..
Hague of the Columbus Terminal
Warehouse Co. is secretary. The
fact that last years exhibition was
such a great success is believed to be
one reason why there is So much ad-
vance interest displayed in the COM
ing one. The history of chicken shows
is that no one makes entries until
the last moment but entries have
been received this winter with the
exhibition two weeks away.
The hall secured is on the ground
floor, with skylights and steam heat,
so that the club feels that it has been
fortunate in securing it.
