h0maSUlM Poultry Shozv

The poultry show just recently held
lat ThOmasville was success in every
way. The weather was fine. the at
tendance good, but best Of all, there
was a large and choice display of poul-
try-sO much so that a larger tent was
necessary to accommodate the cooping.
1t was held. as usual, in the great
pine park in the very heart of the city.
To say that there was quality would be
putting it mildly, indeed.
Take for example, w. H Testers
exhibit of White Rocks. They were
crackerjacks from start to finish. His
first prize pullet also winner of sweep
stakes for the best bird in the show,
was one Of the best l have seen in a
long time. His first prize pen showed
quality all through, good enough to win
sweepstakes for best pen in the show.
f. E. Mack, of Thomasville. made a
regular killing with his White Wyan-
dottes and Buff Orpingtons, as will be
noted from the awards Besides all his
winnings In the regular classes, he was
fortunate enough to get three of the
sweepstakes prizes, viz, best hen in
the show, best cockerel in the show ard
the whitest bird in the show, all on his
White Wyandottes. This is nothing
unusual for Mack, for he won lot of
sweepstakes and regular prizes at both
Atlanta and Augusta last year He did
not make these shows this year.
In the Rhode Island Red alley the
honors were pretty we'll divided be-
tween w. w Nesbitt and B. F. Cren-
shaw, both Of cambridge, Ga. These
breeders of Reds are certainly on the
right track from the rich colored birds
they were showing.
In White Orpingtons w. N. Single
tary showed stock that was simply
beautiful TO behold. not only to the cas-
ual Observer but the experienced eye
as well. They showed uniformity and
careful breeding. We wish we had the
space to mention each and every one.
Taking 1t up one side and down the
other the Thcmasyille show was a
splendid success and long step in ad-
vance for the poultry business in that
section. We trust that they will con-
tinue to improve in the future as they
have in the past.
