their displays to include twenty fowls, /
the number required in competition
for the grand premium.

try publication will be for the best

THE POULTRY JUDGES.
Great discretion has been shown in
the choice of Judges and the awards
will be made by F. ]. Marshall, of
College Park, and H. H. Verdery, Of
Augusta, Ga. Mr.. Marshall is one of
the best known poultry men In the
south and has judged at many notable
poultry shows.
A recent comparison with the entry
lists of the Atlanta and Augusta
shows develops the fact that the en-
try fees for those are one dollar for
single fowls and three dollars for each
pen. The awards are either the same,
or less than the SIS, s3'a and 50 as firsts,
seconds and thirds for pens and the
SO. 81 and 81 az frsts, seconds and
thirds for individual fowls offered at
the Pensacola show.
The entry fees for the Pensacola
show will be rs cents for each single
fowl and 81 for each pen, the pen to
include one male and four females.
While the committee holds that it is
worth more than that amount to the
exhibitor for the opportunity to COM
pare his fowls with others shown, ii
has SO been arranged that each ex-
hibit will be judged by score card and
the card will be given to the exhibitor
containing the opinions Of the judges
regarding the strong or weak points
of the entry. Not only to those who
enter successfully but to all exhibit
ors will these be given. Mr.. Witch
states that at previous fairs 1t cost
% cents to have fowl judged in the
same way. This year 1t is included
as a part of the show.
Department e, for hogs, will be su-
perintended by Oscar Williams. There
| will be awards up to $40 for best
boars, sows, barrows and sows with
pigs and an award of SIS for the best

There will alsp be sweepstakes for
best boar and best SOW shown.
