Kentucky State Fair Provides for
Boys Pig Clubs III An Elaborate Manner
Many Counties be Representations be Given Free
Trips to the Great Fair.

YIN 1915 a boys pig club was
introduced into kentucky. Th!r-
teen counties were organized
under the leadership of their
county agents and $40 boys became
members Local shows were held and
the winning boy from each county re-
ceived a free trip to the Farmer Boys
Encampment at the State Fair. Six
teen boys were given this trip and
eighteen pigs were exhibited. This
was the first state pig club show in
Kentucky. Although the exhibit was
small. the interest was so great and
the showing so good that the pig club
has become one of the most popular
and beneficial boys clubs in Farm
Demonstration Work.
From this small beginning the boys
pig club has spread to 40 counties with
a membership of 1880 boys in single
year. Bankers, business men and
farmers have co-operated to the ex-
tent OF placing over 100000 worth OF
pure bred hogs in the hands OF Saess
boys.
The state agent and county agents
co-operated in organizing, holding
meetings. securing registered pigs,
visiting members, and instructing
them along the proper lines of animal
'hgsbandFy.
The 1916 pig club started May 18th.
Each boy had a gilt between two and
four ro2th5 Of age, and most OF them
secured registered pigs. Record books
were furnished the boys and the
pigs we're weighed and ear tagged by
the county agent at the beginning OF
the contest.
Local Shows First
II Is contemplated that local show
be held in each of the counties organ

given. The first prize in each county
will be a free trip to the Farmer Boys

Not only will the winning boy be
given a free trip to the fair, but ne
gotiations are now under way whereby
the best two pigs from each county
will be sent to the fair free. Already
one Of the largest railroads in Ken
lucky has granted free transportation
to and from the fair for the best two
pigs In counties having pig clubs
along it's lines.
Free Entrance Fee.
The Kentucky State Fair has
realized the educational value OF an
exhibit from these boys and to that end
have opened their doors wide, allow
ing each pig club exhibitor free en-
trance. free pens and a distinct
and separate department, at the same
time giving them the privilege to
exhibit in the breeders classes. over
$4,000 in prizes has been given by
record associations, business men and
farmers Last year one boy defeated
ring OF twenty-four choice pigs.
The results Of the pig club have
been widespread; hundreds of farmers
have changed their feeding methods;
pure bred hogs have been taken into
counties where they we're not known;
community breeding has resulted in
six or seven counties: boys are becom-
ing interested In the farm; greater
interest is being 6entered on the
swine industry OF Kentucky and this
