OF Standardized
Fowls.

Awards and Describe Show at This
Years Fair as Best Chicken Eek
hibition Ever Given Here.


That standardized poultry is ex-
'remely popular in Virginia has been
Ioore than demonstrated at the State
fal' this year, and from the great in
terest shown in the exhibits IL Is evil
cent that much progress will be made
during the coming year. The prestige
o! the poultry department is gazing each
year, and the entries become greater
from year to year. The success Of this
department is shown by the fact that
Tor several years the poultry building
mas been enlarged each season to house
the increasing number Of exhibits.
Judging. which was Of very high
class, giving general satisfaction, was
completed yesterday. and the awards
announced last night by the manage
ment Of the fair association. Three
Judges were required this year. while
two men have been able to do tho work
IN previous years, and they declared
this years show to be one of the great
est in this section Of the country, and
far surprising many other fairs this
year.
This department is in charge OF c.
7. k.ddick. as superintendent. who Is
cooperating with the chicken breeder
In every way to make the poultry show
all that the fancier and lover of poul-
try could desire. The show this year
Is more than the usual success, with
n larger number OF entries and ex-
hibiis than in any previous year. Bar
red Plymouth Rocks are the record
class, with the White Lcghorn second
and the Orpingtons third. A feature
OF the show is that most all varieties
are filled classes, making strong COM
petition and adding value to the awards
made.

FIRST ever seen at the fair. while there
are many turkeys and guincas shown.

building. The large pond in the CEN
ter OF this yard with the fowls making
excellent use OF the water. attracted
man! visitors.
Eantams are a favorite in Virginia.
and there is an unusually good dis
pla, of these little beauties. 1t took
the best to win in every class, and the
hcnois are highly priced by the own
ers Of the birds. Polish and Hamburgs
are a large class. as we'll as the Capt.
nes-Anconaa, Wyandotte. Orpingtons,
