A Big Exhibit

the score card system, and while
that system involved considerable
time and labor. every one connected
with the show feels we'll repaid for
the extra time and labor.
There was a really aristocratic
display OF both local birds and birds
from a distance. Nebraska and New
Mexico were represented. also many
towns east and west of La Junta,
Pueblo especially being represented
by high-class birds that carried away
two OF the trophies.
There were 40l birds and pet
stock.
A departure from the ordinary was
a lecture by Prof. /. +. Wilson of
Rocky Ford on the Hogan system
of measuring the capacity of hens
for laying. Mr.. Wilson handled his
subject in a mastery way by black
board diagrams and by demonstra-
tion with the hen.
Attendance was good, the large
hall being crowded during the after
moons CT the last two days.
Admission was free to all. this
having been made possible by the
liberality OF La Junta's merchants
and by the county commissioners
contribution.
