Changes In Rules
A number Of important changes In
rules governing entries have been
made by the livestock committee of
the Territorial Fair Commission, the
experience gained by the First Terri
torial Fair OF last June resulting in
q revision Of the regulations which
should prove to the advantage Of FIX
hibitors and add materially to the
general success of the 1919 Fair firm
June 8 to IA next.
At this years fair there will be no
charge made on sales of livestock.
The old rules called for the payment
of a commission of five per lent on
all sales up to 500, and two-and-a-
half percent on sales after the first
500. This year there will be no such
tax on business. Within a few days
the livestock committee will mail cir
oulars to all breeders and stockmen
throughout the Territory, advising
them concerning the revised rules.
Stoekmen's Headquarters
The Fair Commission has been re-
quested by the livestock committee to
set aside a special place in the Fair
grounds at Kapiolani park, to serve
as a headquarters for educational
literature, and as sort of a gathering
place for all persons interested in the
development and improvement Of live
stock conditions in the islands. This
will be a feature that was not pres
emit at the first fair, and one that is
bound to prove popular. Instead Of
stockmen having to buttonhole one
another here and there and anywhere
in the Fair grounds. they will have
the comfortable advantage Of fore
gathering in their own particular "ex
change" where they may discuss the
various exhibits, compare experiences
and refer to numerous stockmen's
magazines and other publications.
Such a place will be set aside near
the livestock general headquarters.
where will be shown pictures Of noted
show animals hat have won fame at
state fairs, samples of feed, and
sample copies of many publications
OF interest to breeders. Here, also,
demonstrations will D, made.
Hawaiian Cattle Hold Their Own
I'VE have good reason to expect
that next June's livestock exhibits
will in every way prove better than
were those of last year., says L.. A.
Henke, chairman Of the livestock
committee. Mr. Henke was chairman
of the livestock committee at the first
Fair, and he looks for great improve.
ment at the forthcoming exhibition,
Continuing, he says: For one thing.
there is {. greater incentive to excel;
breeders have had their mettle arous'
ed, and there has been considerable
Improvement in livestock in Hawaii
since June last. More than one ex.
hibitor at the 1918 Fair entered stock
Of which he was especially proud, only
to ind, when he compared his entry
with some others in the show, that
his exhibit did not begin to compare
with the leaders. But this mistake is
not going to be repeated. The first
Fair has taught its lessons; it show.
ed where the weaknesses lay, and
such weaknesses will not appear a
second time.
"This year there will be no distinc.
ton made between imported and Ha.
waiian-bred stock; they will not be
separately classified. There has been
such advancement in local conditions
that Hawaiian stock can take an ever
chance with the imported article"
