Announced by Secretary

Fargo, Jan. 17.--"You don't need
to limit your comparisons, in speak
ing of the poultry show, to other
North Dakota exhibits" said Secre-
tary F. w. McRoberts of the state fair
association last night when he refer

ing held in the armory in conjunction
with the annual convention of the Tri-
State Grain Growers convention.
1T is the finest have seen in many
day and will compare favorably
with those held in the more populous
centers of the east and south. The
officers of the association are to be
congratulated upon the success of the
show. The show will also do much
to assist the government in the con-
servation of the food supply Of the
nation. i am sure that as result of
this showing there will be many more
people interested in the poultry bust
ness and it will not now be hard
task to make the slogan of the asso-
citation 100 Hens on Every Farm and
100 Eggs from Every Hen,' a truth
in this state"
