sections testify TO remarkable activity
in the shopping districts. and in the
aggregate Christmas business is not

DIRECTOR PACKARD
PLANNING EXHIBITS

Comparison of the many prizes Of
fered .by the Imperial Valley Live
stock Fair to be held in Ell Centric,
December 81, 2S, 20, 80, with the cash
premiums of similar fairs. shows that
TIE Farm Bureau committe has been
liberal. Over $1,000 in cash has been
hung up to stimulate competition in
the various classifications
Not only will the awards compare
iavorably with many larger shows,
hut the Imperial Livestock Fair is al
most starting precedent in giving
such substantial prizes, and not charg-
ing any entry fee or any stall rent,
and besides providing exhibitors with
admission tickets.
w. r. Lienau, chairman of the Fair
committee, explains this by saying
that the Farm Bureau wishes to make
the load as light as possible upon the
livestock men, and to insure the ex-
hibition of the very best pure bred
stock in the Valley.
For the best Jersey and Holstein-
Eriestian bulls, 3 years old and over,
the Imperial Valley Livestock Fair
offers the first premium Of SIS. For
this classification the Dairy Cattle
Congress at Waterloo, Ia, offers $50.
while the Valley offer is as great for
the same classification as that of the
National Western stock show at Den
yer, and higher than that of the Ma
.ional Feeders and Breeders Show Of
Fort Worth, Tex, which is $3.50.
Another comparison of liberal prize
money is found in the swine depart
r'ent. The first prize for boars and
sows, one year old or over, in the
Duroc, Poland-Chin and Berkshire
breeds, is $iO each. This is the prem
ium offered by such big and long es-
tablished institutions as the Kansas
State Fair, the Nebraska State Fair
and the California State Fair, and is
hut $500 less than the first award
for the same classification offered by
TIE International Livestock EXposi-
ton.
That the ranchers and breeders OF
the Valley appreciate this effort be-
ing made in the interest Of the live
stock industry, and that they will take
advantage of the prizes offered, is
indicated by the many entries being
received at the office of the County
I'arm Bureau in Ell Centre and by the
number of animals being conditioned
throughout the county. The entries
will be received up to the end Of the
week.
