SOME AWARDS MADE
IN THE POULTRY
SHOW TO-DAY
Task of Selecting the Prize
Winners Is Proceeding
Slowly

The third day Of the poultry show
opened in a babel of sound this morn
ing. The birds are cackling and crow.
ing as Justify as the day they arrived.
The visiting chickens have apparently
not tired of Grand Forks for they
continue to appear, in their hest bib
and tucker n are as loud i'll their
praises of the city, as when the en-
hibition started.
II. A. Nourse, who has attended
chicken shows from Madison Square
Garden to Frisco's coral strand, and
who is now holding down the chair
of cditor-in-chief, business manager
and advertising expert on the Poultry
Herald. published in st. Paul, arrived
for the Grand Forks chicken circus
this morning.
Probably no exhibitor in the show
more delighted to greet MI.
Nourse than T. p. Root OF Lakota.
These fanciers were schoolmates way
back in iittlo old Massachusetts; they
are both young and good looking, so
the Rose Comb Rhode Island hens
aver. and that settles 1t.
MIR. Root and Mr.. Nourse not only
talked about chickens this morning
but they also related stories of the
good old days in Massachusetts when
they WED with each other to see which
one could be kept the longest after
school.
Can Raise tho Best
Mr.. Root is one Of the live exhibitors
at the show. He believes that the
Rose Comb Rhode Island red hen is a
fine proposition because she is an ear
~ layer. He also states. with much
justtflable pride. that North Dakota
raise the best poultry in the land
and that eggs from this state are wor-
thy a spot on the breakfast tables of
the finest homes anywhere from
Broadway to the far end of Reeves
avenue. Mr.. Root will carry home a
number of prizes from the Grand
Forks show.
II am in the poultry business be-
cause / like it," explained Mr.. Root
this morning. Then, too. I enjoy
eating roast chicken and strictly fresh
eggs; there's a lot of pleasure in
knowing that you raised the stuff
yourself, too"
When MI. Root is not in his hen
house. he is in his real estate office
is almost as important to me
as selling a million dollars worth
of real estate"
Grows Better Each Year
THE Grand Forks show grows bet
ter each year" declared the editor of
the Poultry Herald. The birds on
display this time are certainly fine,
The show is. good throughout. or
course one must take into c%onsidera-
ton the fact that North Dakota is
young in the industry and must pass
upon the poultry shows of the va
rious sections accordingly. A section
that Is old N the industry will. in the
very nature of things. have the better
show. This show will compare favor
ably with the one held in Fargo re-
Gently. The Duluth exhibition was
good.
1t gives me pleasure to note. that
many good birds are being sent from
North Dakota to fanciers in other
parts of the country. This should en-
courage the North Dakota raisers.
There is Il wonderful opportunity
for the young man to take up the
chicken business. However. it is hard
to make him see that. The bright
cities are attracting the boys from the
farm Just now. but in a comparative
~ short time a whole lot Of them that
are now leaving the farm will wish
they We're right back with father and
mother raising hens for the annual
Grand Forks poultry show"
