Howard White. of Rhodes has the
honor of winning first prize in the first
boys baby beef fielding contest ever
held under the AUSPICES of the county

got the first prize of $40. The judging
was done Wednesday by Rex Beres-
ford, of Iowa State College. Theodore
Fricke. Of State Center got second
prize Of IS, and Wilbur White, OF
Rhodes, a brother of Howard White.
first prize winner won third prize Of
S.. There was so little difference be-
tween the steer that was placed first
and Fricke's Shorthorn steer, that the
deciding point was merely question
of the condition of the animals.
The other eight boy feeders, each Of
whom received prize of SO for show
ing his steer were ranked as follows:
Loran Eckles, r. F. D., city, fourth;
Leslie Preston, Melbourne, fifth; Henry
Howard Clemens, sixth: Raymond
Drew, Clemens, seventh; Clarence Bill
liman, Clemens, eighth; Emery Collins,
Clemens, ninth; Robert Howard, Glenn
ons, tenth; Elmer Damien, r. F. D.,
city, eleventh.
The steers were judged from the
standpoint of beef ready to be butch
cred, and the condition of the animals
according to the butchering value was
an important factor. The eleven head
of grade and full blooded steers and
heifers. that were entered are attract
ing great deal. of attention.
