coopS of the association The coops
are the same that for several years
have been loaned to the Gem State
Fair and idaho state Fair associations
and the coping used is the same char
acter as used by all the eastern as
sociations, members of the American
Poultry association. OF course this
association is also member of the
same organization and all it's shows
are conducted under the rules of that
organization.
Through the efforts of the Idaho
State Poultry and Pet Stock associa-
ton, Boise has been landed on the map
as a show center. The December issue
of the Northwest Poultry Journal, ed
tied by c. F. Williams makes this
comment in connection with the Boise
show
We urge poultrymen of the west
crn section of the northwest to show
at Boise. The show comes at a good
time-the second week in January.
The field is the most virgin in this
territory and offers greater POSSIBLE
tiles than any other field we know of
for selling stock, eggs and chickens.
And again we owe it to this industry
to get out with our birds and show
here and there with the idea of slim
ulating interest at this very critical
period. We are in hearty sympathy
with this appeal made by Mrs. Silver
smith and wish to lend our support In
! every manner possible to these asso-
Citations which are patriotic and de-
termined enough to hold an exhibit
ton this year"
| The Idaho State Poultry and Pet
Stock association has advertised the
| coming show in every poultry publ
cation of the Pacific northwest this

done to call attention of poultry and
pet stock raisers to the fact that the
ninth annual exhibition of this assoc
citation is being arranged for on the
largest scale ever before undertaken
by the association.
