GOT ALL GOOD AWARDS

| Iowa cleaned EN- up as usual at the
international live stock show in Chi
cago last week. There was not a
single big story in any of the live
stock journals that did, not carry
iowa" somewhere in the headlines
And this is as it should be, according
to statement sent out by the Greater
Iowa association, whose officers were
on the job at Chicago.
In the draft horse division there was
nothing to it but Iowa. The grand
prize for Belgian stations went to
Charles Irvine, of Polk county. VIM
Crownover, Black Hawk county, won
the grand prize for Belgian mares, and
rSingmaster & Sons, Keota, took the
grand prize for PercheroRstallions. In
addition to these there were numerous
hrsts and seconds and thirds:-in fact
the Iowa horses divided up most all
the money.
| In the swine classes, Iowana Farms.
of Scott county, took all the prizes for
Berkshire barrows-and the barrows
are the important item.-the finished
product, as it were.>
In the fat cattle classes, the cham
I pionship in one breed went to Iowa
State college, and the championship in
another breed to Cyrus Tow, Of Benton
county AS in the horse competitions,
there were a great many other firsts
and seconds awarded to Iowa exhibit
ors.
Students from all the principal agri-
cultural colleges were gathered to as
certain which student was the best
judge of live stock. J. M. Buoy, or
Ames, won the prize,-of course.
| In the meantime the girls from the
domestic science department OF Iowa
State college were demonstrating now
| to cook, and how not to cook, and were
giving special lectures on how to throt-
tie His Majesty, The-High- Cost-of-Liv-
ling. No other students were awarded
this privilege. It came to- Iowa because
f the Iowa State college has done so
/ we'll along this line
1 The one big thing, however, which
Impressed all visitors to the interna-
tional live stock show was the Iowa
spirit, demonstrated by all of the
Iowans who were there. 1t was the
aim Of the Greater Iowa association to
bring all Of the different Iowa exh!b-
itors together for their mutual benefit.
The result was that the Iowa cattle
men and the Iowa swine men were al
ways on the job helping applaud when
| the Iowa horses were in competition.
The horse men and the swine men
helped the cattle men, and so it went,
all the Iowa exhibitors pulling to-
gether. The fact that all Of the Iowa
horses gathered together in one barn,
Especially decorated with a big sign out
| in front that Iowa was "the home OF
all the worlds grand champion draft
! horses made a tremendous hit, and
already another state has made re-
quest for similar accommodations
next year.

coveted title, Leading Live Stock
