z LIVESTOCK breeders and poultry
men are wrangling over how the
$25,000 appropriated by the
legislature for a livestock and
agricultural exhibit at the Pan
anna Pacific exposition shall be
expended. Shall the exhibit be
limited to sheep, cattle and swine or
shall horses and poultry be included
in it? is the disputed question. Horse
men and poultrymen want to be in
cluded and they are letting their
wishes be known in vigorous fashion.
They intimate that the swine breeders,
who think they should have the use
of most of the appropriation, are try
ing to "hog" things. Gov. Cox, as a
member of the commission which has
charge of the state exhibit, may ask
the state agricultural commission to
determine how the money shall be ex
pended and what shall compose the ex
hibit. The stock that is to be eX'
hibited may be limited to that which
is shown at the state fair. 1t is ex
pected that two trainloads Of stock
will be sent to the exposition, and the
cars will be placarded so as to adver
tise the Buckeye state in the trans
continental trip going and returning
