1918 LIVE STOCK
EXHIBIT FEATURES
SHOWING M 1913 WILL COMPRISE
WINNERS FROM OTHER BIG
EXPOSITIONS.
Management Is Grstified at the Pres
poets for the Biggest Showing in
History of rair.

There will be some big special
features at the 1913 stock exhibit at
the State Fair, which will be on Il
greater and grander scale than ever.
One OF these features will be the
exhibition tor the first time in the
South Of a herd of Dutch belted cattle
These remarkable animals We're zeal
ously guarded by the Holland govern
ment for centuries and it is only with
in very recent years that any of them
nave been exported from that country.
1t seems right that this exhibit
should be made by an Arkansan and
the herd promises to attract more
than statewide attention, as the
Breeders Of the country regard this
strain of the bovine as the coming
combination beef and dairy cattle.
The Live Stock Department Of the
1913 fair will surpass in size and quail,
ity Of exhibit and in Importance to
the people of the state any former ex-
hibit of live stock in Arkansas. This
was evidenced by the fact that the
national breeders association in all
classes of animals have given the Ark
ansas State Fair full recognition this
year and have offered the national as,
ISOLATION premiums for prize winners.
1t is only at the greatest state fairs of
the country that such recognition is
accorded, and with the year 1913 the
Arkansas exposition steps into it's
rightfu place as one of the big state
fairs of the country.
This means much to the farmers,
the dairymen and stock breeders Of
Arkansas. At the fair will be shown
the pick and choice of the great
herds, pens and stables of the country.
Here they will have an opportunity to
study the different breeds of stock and
determine for themselves what line Of
breeding is best adapted to the eli
mate and conditions of Arkansas, and
which breed will bring them the great,
est profit
The cattle breeders of Texas Okla
homa Missouri, Kansas, Tennessee
and many Northern and Eastern states
have been entered for competition,
while the most prominent breeders of
horses, swine and sheep from every
section will be at the fair with their
blue ribbon winners.
In the cattle department will be
seen Dutch Belted, Shorthorns, Here
fords, Jerseys, Holsteins, Aberdeen
Angus and Brown Swiss; in the swine
department the always popular Duroc-
Jerseys, Poland Chinas, Berkshires
Yorkshires and Tamworths; in the
sheep pens the Cotswold, Southdowns
Shropshires, Oxford Downs and Meri.
nos, and in the goat pens the native
goats and the Angoras. Every class
OF draft driving and saddle horse will
be seen in the arena and at the horse
show.
The farmers of Arkansas will find
the coming fair the greatest showing
of live stock and the best opportunity
to see and study the different classes
that has ever been offered the people
Of the state.
To meet the demand for more ex
tensive entries the management is al
ready providing additional facilities
for housing and showing the live stock
and both breeders and visitors will
find at Oaklawn park the greatest
live stock arena to be found in the
South
Live Stock Parade Daily.
On every exhibition day of the fair
there will be a big parade of show an
imals of all classes. Blue ribbon win
ners from dozens of other fairs will
be in line, decorated with the ribbons
and premium badges they have Won
and the spectacle will be one to de-
light the visitor who is a lover of do
nestle animals.
The Management of the fair assures
exhibitors of live stock that there is
an ample supply of pure water from a
WaterWOrks system permeating all sec
