The Verda Fair Association.

To the People Of Grant and Vim:
The people of Verda and community
have organized what is called the Verda
Fair Association. The first fair will be
held on the 9Th and 9th of October,
1915. This will be the only fair in eth
er of these parishes. Since Verda is
just across the parish line in Grant, the
people of Winn parish will feel that
this is their fair also. However, since
the fair is backed by Grant parish cap
ital, prizes will be confined to the far
mers of Grant. Nevertheless, we kind
ly ask the cooperation of all Winn par
ish people in making this fair success
and respectfully invite them to be pres
ent. Moreover, We gladly welcome all
from any section of the State who will
be interested in an agricultural fair.
Grant parish people, we especially
urge you to be present with whatever
exhibit you may have. All exhibits
must be on the ground by 9 o'clock,
Friday morning, October 8. However,
non perishable EXHIBITS may be sent in
a day or so earlier Send all exhibits

variety Of Wyandottes to be admitted
was the White Wyandotte. The Towle
and the Briggs Wyandottes were the
first to be shown. each of these fanciers
stating that the White Wyandottes
kept by them came as sports from
the Silver Wyandotte, and yet claim
Is made that no one can tell exactly
where the first Wyandotte originated,
as several breeders must have been
breeding for this type of fowl at about
the same time, and that all the early
White Wyandottes we're sports from
the Silver variety is not likely to be
true. 1t is thought that White Cochin
blood was introduced in the making of
the White Wyandotte at the beginning,
as the size. shape and color of the
eggs not only denotes this, but that
feathers appear at times on the legs
makes this seem probable. Why dark
feathers often appear in certain of
these birds good enough to show is
often a mystery to the breeder. These
seldom appear in such numbers that
they cannot handily be pulled out.
The purest blood may show these.
However. White Wyandottes are i'm
proving away from most OF their early
tendency to reversion.
