What an Outsider Thought
of Valleys Livestock Fair

When the officials of the County
Farm Bureau first proposed a live
stock show to be held at El Centre
this year, consisting of livestock
and poultry exhibits only, and doing
away with the usual horse races and
other side attractions, the business
men expressed misgivings that the
show would not be a financial success.
At first it was a difficult matter to
raise morey to hold the show, but
through persistent effort on the part
of Paul Dougherty, director of live
stock, and A. NJ. Nelson, manager of
the fair, the necessary money was
raised or pledged, says F. F. Stanerod
in the California Cultivator.
The show was held in the center of
town. Canvas was stretched between
buildings terts erected on several
acres of vacant lots and swine pens,
horse stalls, cattle accommodations,
ETC., installed in such a practical and
satisfactory manner that visitors mar
veled at the smoothness with which
the large number of entries was han

of the classiest young bulls we have
seen. The second prize bull in this

which was highly fitted, but fell just
trifle short of first prize require
ments. The Holstein COW class was re-
plete with surprises to ring attend
ants. Both in quality and quantity
they surpassed expectations. A. M.
Draper of Holtville, new breeder,
brought ou the grand champion COW

old matron of excellent type and con-
formation. DR.. w. o. Johnson brought
out a fine string of young femaels.
Allison Peck had the only aged bull
in the show.
