Poultry Sholu
a Big Success

| prominent poultrymen and'other
pAople.intarestedin in the industry.
Early in the day the judges
were handed the keys to the ex.
hibit hall and spent an ex-
ceedingly busy day handling and
placing awards on the best az
gregation of poultry ever before
assembled south of the Ohio river.
Tie heaviest entries were Orpin-
tons. Plymouth Rocks and Rhode
Island Reds. Wyandottes and
Leghorns and many imported and
high class domestic bred birds
were in these classes. OF the
Orphingtons in all the varieties
there .thirty-five pen entries. fif-
teen of which were the white
variety. Thirty pens of Wyan.
dottes, thirty of which were
white. More than fifty white
Plymouth Rocks were entered by
one exhibitor and the Barred
Plymouth r ,cks were plentiful
and of unusual merit. and the
reds plentiful and of excellent
quality. Probably the largest
, body of fanciers ever assembled
a. one time in the state were
here and all were pleased and
enthusiastic.
Among the more important and
larger entries were a long and
meritorious entry of Leghorns.
Red Orphingtons and Bantams
from New Decatur, Ala, owned
by Mrs. Florence Forbes. w. j.
Brinkley, of Iuka, Miss, showed
a large and extremely good en-
TRY of White Plymouth Rocks
and other large entries Of this
EpQpular variety. Another largs.
and creditable entry was that OF
the Meridian Woman's College.
| of Meridian, whose poultry plant
is probably the largest and best
equipped in the state. They
showed Orphingtons, Leghorns
and other popular varieties. r
H. Brown of Pontotoc, and J. S
Sinclair, of Meridian. showed
large ard much discussed entries
of White Wyandottes and Harry
Bailey had a stroog class of Buff

a strong class of Black Orphing-
tons and Indian Rlnner ducks.
: Leo C. Jones Of Memphis had

idle and the f1ylDg was OF an un-
usually exciting kind. At three
O'Clock Eugene Heth tuned up
his big passenger carrying bi-
plane and was off. He circled
the aviation field few times
and went for altitude. attaining
over 5000 feet. He was up
nearly an hour and was followed
by Brinley in the new $4,000
machine just recently bought by
the American Aviators Company
Much interest was manifested in
the second flight on account OF the
advance notice given that a
lady passenger would go up.
The lady was Mrs. Howard
Porter of this city, and clad
in cap and aviation coat, the
big machine carried the two TO
an altitude of 500 feet and cit-
cled the field several times. On
the third, flight Walter Huff
man, a local photographer. waa
carried to an altitude OF LOCO
feet, from which photographs
of the city over which they trav-
eled were made.
Thursday morning was unfav-
orable and the weather prevent
ed many from attending. The
crowd that was expected failed
to come. Before noon. however,
the weather faired up. and the
afternoon was beautiful.
There were about 800 prize
ribbons to hang up in the regu-
lar list besides the club specials
and big list of cash specials, Tne
silver cup contest had not been
concluded at the time Of go
ing to press.
The annual meeting of the
stockholders of the North Mi>si-
ssippi Poultry Association was
held at the court house Thursday
night and the officers and direc-
TORS were the Recipients Of many
'<.xis gratulations and expressions
of praise and eommendation was
heard from every quarter.
Tupelo was chosen as perman-
ent place of holding the annual
shows for the next five years
and the following officers were
elected:
w. F. Lagrane. of West Point,

In our next issue we will pub
lish a complete list /, of all the
awards. inc uding cash spec ais
and silver cups.
Too much praise cannot be
given Mr.. w. F. Jordan, who
was the life and spirit of the AS
sociation and the meet. Upon
assuming the duties OF secretary
a year ago he began immediate
" to devise means to make of
the attraction this year the
greatest success in the history OF
s s,uthern poultry association ).
Through his untir.ng efforts he
made . complete succe OF the
meeting and every mentb .r OF

The Tupelo journal., 1911-12-08

The most sanguine expecta-
tions of our optimistic chicken
fanciers was more than realized
when the birds from all over the
country began to pour into the
city on Monday. The express
companies. in anticipation of the
demands upon them. had made
what they thought was ample
preparations to handle the ship
ments here, but the demands up
on them were greater than their
ability to handle promptly. Ex-
ira cars brought the birds in as
early as Sunday morning and
they continued to arrive until
Tuesday afternoon. The work
of getting them placed was a big
task, but Mr.. Jordan, the secre-
tary of the Association. brought
to his assistance a large force
and the arrangements were SEQ !
made, and the BIRDS placed in
their respective departments.
BY Tuesday noon the first an
nual show of the North Missis-
sippi Poultry Association was in
full swing with more than 1000
high class birds cooped and ready
for the hands of the judges.
Judge Charles l. Fishel. of
Hope, Ind, and Judge H. B.
Landsden officiated, and by We'd
nesday afternoon the long list Ut
specially attractive cash prizes
and the magnificent array OF
elaborate cups passed into the
hands of the owners or winners.
Many prominent breeders from
all over the South were on hand,
and a large number Of d.
ingly heavy entries exhibited.
All are free to confess that in
point of attendance, numbers
and high order of poultry this
show has not had its equal in the
history of Southern shows. Be-
sides the flyers among the feath-
cred tribe there were also pres
ent and exhibiting the American
Aviators Company presenting
Louis Mitchell. Eugene Heth and
other prominent birdmen.
The first flight of the meet was
made at 3 O'Clock when Louis
Mitchell, in his big passenger
carrying bi-plane ascendei to a
height of l 600 feet, remaining in
the air ten minutes and giving a
wonderful exhibition of his skill
as a navigator of the air.
Mitchell again went up thirty
minutes later and did some fancy
fiyipg in the way of dips, spiral
glides. etc
Wednesday marked the secord
day of the biggest and best
poultry i show ever held in
the Southern states aceordlns

TWO SUCKERS.

Dispatches OF recent date tell Of the
fleeing OF two Iowa farmers by q
ruse that for sheer nerve and brass
on the part OF the perpetrators and
gulHbility ca the part Of the victims
beats any frrri that was ever pepe-
trated. 4 chap of the name Of Hag-
gins met the grangers on q train,
scraped an acquaintance with them
and 10 won their confidence that he
got them to send him small sums to
bet on horses in Chicago. or course
the races Oh which the money was bet
~:nned out right, and the stake and
Finnings were returned to the farm
ers This fred their cupidlty, and
shortly after they received word to
raise all ths money they could and
send 1t to Haggins, as a race was to
be pulled Oh on which they were sure
to win. They mortgaged their farms
for 5000 each. sent the money to the
stranger ana in a short time received
word that they had won and that
they could have their money by going
to Kansas City They went thither,
but found no Higgins and no money.
TODAY they are lot wiser. but con-
siderably poorer financially.

INFAHTILE PARALYSIS TN POUL.
TRY,

Investigation into an outbreak OF in
fantile paralysis not far from where
the writer lives points quite conclusive
~ to the fact that the disease Was con-
tracted from chickens On the place,
number of which had q short time be-
fore died OF q disease which bacteria
logical examination showed was due to
germs that cause infantile paralysis
The chickens affected first appear dunn
py, lose the use OF their legs then lie
around on their sides for several days
and finally die In the outbreak refer
red to not only young poultry, but
young pigs and one calf were attacked
by the disease. The disease seems to
have been transmitted to the children
Of the neighborhood through the medi-
um of flies which fed on the carcasses
Of the chickens and later infected food
which the children ate The case In
question points plainly to the necessity
Of burning or burying deeply the bod
les OF all chickens that die from the
disease and a further warfare On all
flies about the premises As this para
lytic disease has appeared in chickens
no cure has as yet been found for It
