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

IN 1915 boys pig club was
introduced into Kentucky. Thir-
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 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
membership of 1850 boys in a 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 these
boys.
The state agent and county agents
co-operated in organizing, holding
meetings, securing registered pigs
visiting members, and instructins
them along the proper lines of animal
husbandry.
The 1916 pig club started May 18th
Each boy ha6 a gilt between two ano
| four months u age, and most OF them
secured regis erred pigs. Record books
| were furnished the boys and the
pigs were weighed and ear tagged by
the county agent at the beginning o.
the contest.
Local Shows First.
It is contemplated that a local show
be held In each of the counties organ
tized, at which numerous prizes will b
Igiven. The first prize in each count!
will be q tree trip to the Farmer Boys

Encampment, given by the State Fair
and College of Agriculture, to the boy
making the best showing as follows:
(a) Best hog with respect to pur-
pose for which 1t was raised. 1919
b) Greatest daily gains. .......... 1870
(c) Cheapest cost of production. $3.50
(d) Best kept record book. .... 200
1O04o
Not only will the winning boy be
given 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 its 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 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 a
ring Of twentyfour 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 conferred on the
swine industry of Kentucky and this
coming September IL to 16, 1916, the
greatest hog show In the history OF
the Kentucky State Fair 10 predicted.

~ OMINANT in the preparation
for and operation of the Ken
lucky State Fair are two
officials, the Commissioner of
Agriculture and the State Fair Secre-
tary Both are vital to the Importance
and welfare of the great agricultural
and industrial celebration which
serves as a clearing -house for the
years accomplishment throughout the
State, and both should possess gifts
beyond the ordinary measure. And it
is fortunate, indeed, to Kentucky at
large that both Offices are filled this
year with men who give promise Of
being ideally suited to guide the four
teenth annual Kentucky State Fair to
be held in Louisville, September 11-16
to a success which will be a revel
alton TO the State at large.
Cohen's Standing.
Madison Sandidge Cohen, the newly
elected Commissioner of Agriculture,
Labor and Statistics, better and more
briefly known as Mat. S. Cohen, is a
newcomer to politics, but his whirl-
wind victory in the November cleo
tons typifies the man. Prior to his
entry in the political arena he was a
recognized authority as a horseman
and stock raiser, lecturing at Ken
lucky State College, Missouri State
College and Kansas City State College
and writing and publishing volumes
bearing on the subject dear to the
heart of every Kentuckian and impor
tant to the commercial welfare and
worldwide prestige of the State as an

unrivaled breeding point. His expert
ence in stock raising and agriculture
will stand him in good stead as host
at large to the State at the Kentucky
State Fair and his grace of manner,
brilliance of intellect and personal
magnetism will make him ideal in that
capacity.
Record of Gooch.
In w. J. Gooch the public will
meet a personality embodying all the
ideals and traditions of Kentucky as to
stateliness of physique, suavity of
manner and courtliness of bearing.
In his hands the reins of State Fair
government are happily placed, Mr..
Gooch being an executive par excel
lence and a man trained by years Of
experience in handling big commercial
and political interests. Mr.. Gooch
was, for three terms, member of the
Kentucky Legislature and served in
/ 1908 as Speaker Of the House, presid-
ing over the daily joint sessions of the
Senate and House during the mem
orable deadlock in the Beckham-Brad-
/ ley-contest for the u. S. Senate. To
his high honor be 1t said that he was
elected unanimously and his record
stands without flaw and as boast
to his party. Governor Stanley's
personal knowledge of and friendship
for Mr.. Gooch led to his requesting
the latter to take charge of the great
enterprise SO important to the COM
monwealth and the people of the State
may anticipate one of the most bril-
liant, successful and enjoyable Fair
celebrations ever given in Kentucky.
