AMONG MANY
Awards at the Poultry Show Indi-
cate That the Competition
There Is Keen
RIVALRY GOOD NATURED
WITH ALL THE FANCIERS
Judge Elmer Dixon Is Making Ex-
cellent Speed in His Work Of
Determining Merit of the Re-
spective Exhibits
Prizes are splitting up pretty well
At the poultry show. so Tar as the
Judging has gone. which is an evil
dence of the fact that the competition
is keen and that the fanciers are UP
against hard task to win out as
others are raising good birds every
year and are right on the heels of the
leaders. This is score show and nc
bird is taking prize that is not en-
titled to it. Not only that, but to
win any and every bird must meas
ure UP to standard set for it by the
national associa ton, as interpreted by
the judge, and Elmer Dixon, who is
officiating here, is one of the best
judges in the country.
GoOd-Natured Rivalry
While the competition is keen be-
tween the exhibitors, it must be said
Of the North Yakima fanciers that
they are genial lot and the contests
are all of the good-natured variety
This, as a matter of fact, must be
the case when SO many of the breed
ers have purchased stock from others
here. This was illustrated Tuesday
in several Of the classes judged. AS
an illustration, Messrs. Kruger and
Bingham in the White Rock class
had procured their stock originally
from Mrs Readle, so that she was
defeated, in measure, by her own
birds, where she was defeated. Sim
ilarly Mr.. Morton and Mr.. Linse, in
the White Wyandottes, have in part
the same strain of blood and the same
is true of Messrs Oder and Gillette,
the latter having bred male red
which on Tuesday defeated him be-
fore the Judge. The fanciers are
pushing their interests along together
and are making name for this town
as home for fancy birds
Ribbons Are Hung Up
Patrons at the show today will be
able to see the ribbon winners in
most of the classes. Judge Dixon was
half way through the hall at closing
time last night and today will put
him well toward the end of his work
The ribbons are posted as fast as the
decisions are made and the spectator
therefore has an opportunity to see
the winners as well as the honorably
defeated.
IncubatOrS Arc Shown
In addition to the birds there are
several exhibits at the show which
must interest anyone who is raising
or thinking of raising chickens. The
local merchants who deal in incuba-
tors are showing a lot of the hatch
ing machines and have demonstrators
on the ground to assist the novice to
a proper understanding. In addition
to incubators there are shown va
riety of other devices, feeds, etc., used
by poultrymen. Caponizing will be
demonstrated today and other days
this week by Chester L. Miller. who
Is an expert at the business.
