According to J. c. Good, president
OF the Commercial and Farm Bureau
Just returned from the Oklahoma state
fair, not another county in the state
has received more favorable attention
from fair visitors than Grady county
Every one, Mr. Good says. stops AZ
the Grady county exhibit and looks
and comments with admiration upon
the quality OF the exhibits and the dt
yersity OF agricultural and domestic
science products contained in those
exhibits.
II is believed this is the result OF
the tireless energy put forth by Grady
county citizens in their efforts to
make the local exhibitions the best
county fair in the southwest portion Of
the state. The township fairs adver-
tised the county fair, the county fair
advertised itself and broke into the
iimelight at tine state fair and the state
fair is advertising the county Of Grady
10 the citizens OF every other county
IN the state
THE people OF Grady county. and
OF Chickasha. cannot say too much in
praise Of Farm Demonstration Agent
o. c. Cooper" said Mr. Good. in speak
ing OF the manner in which Grady had
advanced from eleventh to fifth place
at the state fair in one years time.
Grady county had hard competi-
tion." continued Mr.. Good. Some OF
the best exhibits from some OF the
best agricultural counties In this state
are there and these exhibits had to be
contested with when Grady entered the
arena. There were 81 counties In the
contest for place and that Grady stood
away up at the top, away up among
the first. Is ample evidence Of the good
work Mr. Cooper has accomplished,
Il believe that this good work viii
bear further fruits with the coming OF
the next annual fair in this county and
believe that next fall, following the
closing OF the county fair. Grady will
be strong competitor with any other
county for first place"
Mr.. Good has just returned from the
fair where he exhibited part OF his
herd which won several Of the prem
lums at the county fair. He was sue
cessful in winning three prizes at the
big fair-~one first prize on a yearling
Jersey heiler. one second prize on
Jersey bull and one third prize on a
Jersey SOW.
Mr.. Good was well pleased with the
decision OF the judges which gave him
these awards. He had the keenes'
competition. having to meet some OF
the most successful breeders OF dairy
cattle in the state.
The trend OF favorites in the Jersey
dairy cattle line. Mr. Good said. was
towards the Island breed. He has ootn
the Island and the American breeds.
However, the gentleman stated his
herd OF the two kinds was not nearly
enough complete for him to enter into
competition for prizes on a large scale.
In explaining the difference between
the two trends of breeds, Mr. Good
said the American breed Jersey was
larger. more raw-boned COW than
was the Island, the latter being the
small and beautifully delicate animal
The American is a more prolific mix
er and the more valuable for that pnr-
pose, he said.
Mr.. Good stated that he did not thlnK
1, possible he would become an active
contestant for the highest honors : IN
The dairy cattle breeding line at the
next state fair. He stated that nc
did not think he could get his herd up
into shape In which he wanted II De-
fore year from next fall, or until the
fair two years hence
