DIRECTORS VOTE
TO HOLD A SHOW
Final Decision Made at Board
Meeting of Mississippi Val
ley Fanciers' Assn.
HARMONY is I'M EVIDENCE
Exhibition Will Be Held in Davenport
During Thanksgiving Week
Plans Are Under Way.

That the Mississippi Valley Fanciers'
association will hold its own poultry
show in Davenport next November,
was the final decision reached in a
meeting of the board of directors at
DR.. o. NJ Myers office last evening.
This organization was originally
formed with the purpose of absorbing
all other poultry interests in this vicin-
ity, and to conduct a show every year
in each of the three cities in rota-
ton. The first show was held in this
city last November and proved com
plete success in every way. Harmony
and good will prevailed throughout and
all of the breeders promised TO enter
again in their next show.
For a time the utilization with the
Tri-City Fanciers' association and the
Iowa State Fanciers' association in
conducting the state show to be held
in Davenport next January was dis
cussed. However, at meeting held
March "a the directors of the Missis-
sippi society decided against this pro-
ject for various reasons. The Missis-
sippi organization would receive no adj
NeTllSlnS through lildJ SHOW, as all Ilie
prizes would be awarded in the name
of the Iowa State show. Furthermore,
the other two societies asked them to
stand half of the expense of the state
show. If the name of the Mississippi
Valley Fanciers' association was bur
led for year, many breeders would I
be apt to think that the show held /
here was not success. When the I
directors reached this deci- !
sion the Tri-City and Iowa state socie- 1
ties reported in a meeting held March /
- that they had turned down the Mis-
sissippi association, even though the I,
latter society decided against the affil-
iation first.
Plan for Show.
Plans are already under way for the
coming show. The American Part
'idge Plymouth Rock club, which has
members from all over the United
States, has promised to hold its ma
ional convention in Davenport during
week, which will mean
hat 500 birds will be entered from
hat club alone.
The next regular meeting of the as
ISOLATION will be held April 16.
