r OF the $4,000 offered in prizes for
live stock and agricultural exhibits at
the Seventeenth annual Kentucky
State Fair to be held in Louisville the
week of September S-13, $4,000 has
been apportioned to the Beef Cattle
and Fatted and Feeding Cattle Depart
ment alone. In consequence, it is eX-
pected that the greatest exhibit of fine
cattle in the history of the Fair will
be entered for competition in this de-
partment.
1t was the purpose of the State Fair
management, in assigning this gigantic
sum to the. cattle division of the Fair
TO stimulate the rapidly waning indus
try of cattle raising and breeding and
the interest already exhibited proves
the potency of the move.
Three of the leading brokers Of
America have entered many carloads
of the choicest steers and she stuff in
the fatted and feeding cattle class
and the whole allotment will be sold
at public, auction to be held on the
State Fair grounds, beginning Thurs
day of Fair week. Jack Lawler, Sher-
rell and Lett and William Daniels and
Brother of Chicago, are the consignors
OF three cars of steers and two of
heifers for the first, three cars Of
steers and two of heifers for the sec
ond. and four cars of steers and one
of heifers for the last named.

through the Union Stock Yards in the
past ninety days 'and will offer a
splendid opportunity for feeders and
dealers.
Although a lesser sum was assigned
to the beef cattle department last year
a most encouraging exhibition was the
response to the Fairs substantial pre-
MUM awards and, arguing from this
fact it is expected that the cOmpeti.
ton and auction in the cattle depart
ment will eclipse any former event in
Fair history. A great showing of
Herefords marked the 1918 exhibit,
but better one is looked for this sea-
son. With $4,000 offered in the Short
horn Division it is expected that this
competition, which is open to the
world, will bring forth an unusual
showing
The Blackfaced Aberdeen, Angus
have also developed popularity and
are regarded as strong "cOmers."
A Kentucky Futurity with $4,000 in
awards, is announced for breeders and
owners of the above named varieties
of cattle" $1,000 is set aside for the
Herefords, Shorthorns and Aberdeen
Angus breeds.
The futurity is limited to Kentucky
cattle only and is for animals under
two years of age. There will be six
classes for each breed. The various
rules and rings will be found in cata-
logs which will be mailed on applica-
