| The second show of the Marshall
| town Swine and Corn Congress, which
| first was set for late an December,
| then had to be postponed. it was
! thought until late in January, now Is
: to be held Dec. 10, II and T.. The
/ dates were fixed Thursday at meet
. ing OF the officers, who at first thought
they would have to postpone the show
until the third or fourth week Of jan
Iary because Of n ruling of the Ma
tional Express Company that it would
not receive live stock for shipment
between Dec. 10 and Dec. 81.
\ modification of this ruling has
, been so that the express company Will
: accept live stock for shipment into
/ this city Dec. 3 and 10, which will al
/ low all shipments to reach here IN
time for the show. Returning from
the show the live stock will be shipped
/ by express.
! Early Date Much Better.
County Agent w. A. Buchanan. who
/ is managing the show. and the off,
GERS, feel that the early December
date is much better than a late jan
uary date because by the latter time
many fat barrows would be shipped to
market. The officers are making ar
rangements at once to secure suitable
/ places to hold the swine and corn
show and to close other plans tGT me
congress- The dates chosen are in
the week following the International
Live Stock Exposition, held in chi
Cago.
OF vital Importance to fat barrow
feeders and to the show is the ruling
/ Of State Veterinarian Gibson that the
! MarshalltoWn Swine and Corn Con-
gress is granted the privilege of hold
ing the barrow show without requiring
the swine to- be immuniZed, because
they are to be shipped for slaughter
/ Immediately afterwards. This ruling
makes it unnecessary for exhibitors to
vaccinate their hogs.
Cash Prizes Of s1.73o.
One requirement of the barrow show
| is that all animals exhibited must be
sold TO the highest bidder on the clos
ing day of the show. Buyers from
! Iowa packing companies, as well as
local buyers for other packers, will
attend the sale and the animals Will
be sold at so much per hundredweight,
weighed in this city.
