Something of the quality of the
aged SOW class may be judged from
the fact that the first prize winner
was grand champion last year at the
Tri-State Fair, Memphis; while the
second prize sow was grand cham
pion at Lexington, KY, and the third
prize SOW, grand champion at the
Indiana State Fair this year.

The ShorthOrn show was one Of
more than ordinary quality and was
Of particular interest from a South
ern standpoint since the largest ex-
hibitor and the one winning the larg-
est share of the prizes was from the
Cotton Belt. Mr.. D. S. Combs, the
manager of Mr.. H. B. Duryea's Les
pedeza Farms, Hickory Valley,
Tenn, has been out to the Northern
fairs with this show herd, and is now
on the Southern circuit. When it is
stated that with IL entries at the
Kentucky State Fair, he won II
firsts, some idea of the quality Of his
exhibit may be obtained. His two
year-old bull, Imperial Gloster,
grand champion at Nashville, has
been a conspicuous winner wherever
shown this year. The other exhib-
itors were Carpenter & Ross, Mans
field, Ohio; J. D. Douglass & Son.
Flat Rock, Ind, and Geo. Eleazer,
Bemis, Tenn.
