BIG BABY BEEF a..
CLASS FOR 1918
COUNTY AGENT ASKS FOR AT
LEAST 1870 CANDIDATES.
OCTOBER rs DATE OF START
Big Prizes at the Fair and Elsewhere
For the Best Records-Report of
MerI Beaver For This
Year

County Agent l. N. Taylor is at the
head of movement to organize
big baby beef club in the county
among the farm boys and to have ev-
cry township and every school district
in the county represented.
Some splendid prizes have been Of
fered by the fair association and there
will be other consideration added to
make it worth while.
Why not have class of $50 entries
in the baby beef class at the next
Southern Iowa Fair and Exposition?
II is venture well worth. the effort.
The boys,-and the girls also for that
matter-are interested and wherever
Mr.. Taylor has solicited entries he is
finding them.
Ample Compensation.
In addition to. whatever cash prizes
or other consideration, trophy, med
ais or reward may be offered by the
fair or other institutions, there will
be the right and privilege of entry and
exhibit at other district and county
fairs and at the state fair and free
trip to the state fair.
The Southern Iowa Fair this year
gave seventy-five dollars cash to the
baby beef class and it made Guita a
stir. The association has planned to
increase and "sweeten the pot" for
next season but to just what extent
has not yet been determined This
will be announced at later time
when Secretary Roy Rowland has a
little leisure from the press of war
board work
Must Start Next Week.
The main thing is to make the start
and to start right and now is the
time Candidates must make selec-
ton of their animals now. October
25 is the last date for selection and
weighing out. That is one week
from today.
Any boy and girl desiring to make
the start, call l. n. Taylor and get
particulars.
Over and above any reward the in
dividual entries obtain from their
prizes the raising of baby beef is a
profitable undertaking as the follow
ing letter from Merl Beaver of Cedar
township, reporting his experience
clearly demonstrates. This young
man had no difficulty in disposing of
his stock without effort =: The fair
