SALEM POULTRY
SHOW A SUCCESS
Fine Assortment of Birds
Shown and Much En-
thusiasm Created.

rink at that place last week and a
very good class OF fowls was placed
on exhibition. The attendance was
good and every one attending was
well satisfied and complimented the
association on being able to get out
such a good class of birds. Many
would-be exhibitors did not send in
their favorites on account of the
frozen combs, etc, but they will no
doubt help to swell the numbers
next year. 1t is certain that many
a convert to pure standard bred
poultry was made and that there
will be better stock raised on many
plants than there has been hereto
fore.
Judge j. A. Mcintosh, OF East
Liverpool, o., placed the awards and
with very few exceptions the YER
diets were pronounced very satisfac-
tory to the exhibitors and patrons of
the show. IIe said the class of birds
was in the main very high and
complimented the owners and exhib-
TORS.
o. w. Nay, OF Bristol, won sill
yer cup offered by the association
for the largest display. He had
twenty-one OF his nice white
Wyandottes on display. He also won
a cup offered for the highest scor-
ing pen in the American class.
G. Ray Morgan, of Bristol, was
very much in evidence with his
"Fishel" White Rocks. He had an
entry of sixteen birds, every one of
which was good. and his winning of
the highest scoring hen in the show
was something to be proud of a0
well as several ties with MIR. Nays
Wyandottes, which were decided by
weight.
Mr.. Anderson, of shinnston, took
a cup offered on high pen in the
Mediterranean class, and w. R.
offered on high pen in the English
Talkington, of Clarksburg, got cup
class.
The Rhode Island Reds were also
very prominent and of very fair
class. Mr.. Jenny's egg record
ooked mighty good for the egg utll.
| ity man, and his winnings in the
fancy class show his stock to be all
right. Other exhibits in this class
were very good.
