 With such an array of fine chick ems, and with such a large mum Der of competitors, it was certainly difficult and great honor to win even a yell low ribbon, which denotes third prize. How much greater then is the credit and distinction accorded St. Francis county birds as shown by the many blue, red, yellow and special ribbons, and loving cup, as shown in the fol- lowing list of prize winners:
