AUGUSTA, GA, Nov. THE Au-
gusta Poultry association show held in
connection with the Georgia Carolina
fair has an entry OF over 1900 birds in
competition. This grand display of the
feathered flock would do justice to any
show in the land. Over 1928 exhibitors
are on the list and the cream of all
breeds from every direction are housed
within the fair grounds at Augusta
The Southern birds, especially the
Georgia ones, are big winners, and do
credit to the Cracker state. Every true
Georgian should be proud of the fact
that such fine birds are being bred
within the bounds of the state Norri-
ern and other breeders have found real
competition this year, more than they
ever expected.
Too much praise can not be given to
the officials of this organization for
making this show such a grand sue
cess from start to finish. The poultry

show room as bright as day at night.
The coops are arranged in fine style,
good healthy aisles with fine ventia-
ton.
