ULTRYMEN GREATLY PLEASED
WITH EXHIBIT LAST WEEK
Finest Birds in State Were Seen, They
Say---Incentive for Development
of Poultry Industry.

The second annual exhibit of the Whit.
man County Poultry & Pet Stock
Association came to close last
Saturday, it being voted by veterans as
one OF the best ever seen in the Pacific
Northwest. This display of valuable
birds will have a stimulating effect to
induce many to engage in the business
OF poultry raising, an industry, by the
way, which is not likely to be overdone,
as eggs and chickens are always in de-
mand. As long as this country imports
eggs from China there need be no fear OF
getting too many at home. Hence the
greater number who engage in the bust.
ness the better.
The exhibit last week developed the
fact that Whitman county and the In.
land Empire has the best that is raised.
Those who attended saw the develop
ment of the common barn yard fowl
OF our ancestors to the high class, beau
tiful- plumaged, productive quality and
distinctiveness of breed that has been
evolved through careful breeding, max.
ing the industry second to none in i'm
pOrtance in this great country OF ours.
Furthermore, the industry becomes at
tractive by reason of this higher asso-
citation and the possibility OF greater
tinancia! results, appealing both to our
esthetic nature and the money making
desire that il ever present in most of us.
The association is blessed with an
energetic, intelligent aud patriotic secre-
tary in the person of E. H Roeenkranz
who is in love with the poultry business,
and did not leave a stone unturned to
make the exhibit a success. This is
likewise the opinion of II. IL. Collier OF
Tacoma, the veteran poultry man who
came here to Judge and award the pre-
miums, who said MIR. Rosenkranz was the
most active secretary in the state, and
Mr.. Collier knows.
Below is given ir full the prizes award
ed at the poultry exhibit last week.
