| A proposition from the county Hol
stein-Friesian Association to the Ful
ton County Fair Association, to tn
effect that the Holstein associatio
would give a certain amount if tn
fair association would give a lik
amount to be used as premiums to e2
hibitors of Holstein cattle at the fai
was accepted. The fair was held g
Wauseon in September and the resu
was certainly satisfactory. When til
entries were closed there were IL
/ Holstein-Friesian cattle owned b
breeders in the county arranged
five tents provided for the occasio
by the fair association. This was
show which in point of individualt
breeding and number would have bee
credit to any state fair, yet seldo
seen there.
In the list there were six half herd
eight young herds, six graded herd
26 yearling heifers, 21 two-year-old
IL aged cows, IL yearling bulls, fo1
aged bulls, and eight herds of fl

had no small job to place the awar
and it was not at all surprising tn
his judgment differed from that
some of the bystanders. Plans ha
already been formulated for the she
next year and to encourage t
breeders to give more attention
fitting the cattle for the fair larg
premiums will be offered.
The members of the county H,
stein association feel that their effol
as an association and as individs
breeders are being rewarded and a
preciated and that the good that W
come from their cooperation will
far-reaching. Dairying in the cour
is still in its infancy when it is &C
sidered that the first purebred cat
were brought into the county only
years ago, and that the real develC
ment of the industry began two yes
ago when the Holstein ASSOCIATE
was formed The results that hs
been accomplished in the two yea
existence are an example of wi

and working aim.-The Agricultu
