getting their entries on the grounds
and because OF the late rush and the
great number Of animals there was
more or less confusion until late
hour Monday night when the exhibit
| ton finally was arranged.
Because OF the lateness OF the show
getting into place 1t was difficult to
secure anything like a complete list Of
exhibitors. Among the herds early to
arrive were those OF the Falrdale Stock
farm, Cedar Falls, Shorthorns: Hans
], Schmidt, Cedar Falls. Guernseys.
j, A. Morrison. Green Mountain. Hol-
stems: James o. White, Rhodes,
shorthorns: Keyser & Clay. Written.
Herefords: Joe Hach. Gladbrook.
Herefords; b. #. Maiden, Tama,
Herefords; Charles w. Shipton. Green
Mountain, Aberdeen Angus: Frank
Balischeck, Tama. Shorthorns. and A.
Campbell, Independence. Guernseys.
The increased interest in Herefords
was shown by the large number Of
exhibitors in this class and the general
excellence Of the herds shown.
Three big exhibitions predominated
in the showing OF sheep. with few
others with two or more head entered.
The herd exhibitors are L. L. Bitter
man, Mason City, shropshircs: Ora
ham & Hauser. Eldora., oxfords and
shropshires, and Taylor & Son. Ames,
Shropshires.
Keeping pace with live stocB divt-
sions of the fair. the poultry and pet
stock department has this year sur
passed all records, both for numbers
OF exhibits, housing and arrangement.
BY actual count there are S7l fowls
and animals in the building. The de-
mand for space was so pressing that
coops were arranged two high In
places and then it became necessary
to put others on the ground.
There are on exhibition an even $50
fowls, including col of poultry and
forty nine geese and ducks. In addi-
ton. the rabbit show is up to proper
tions with 1877 animals and in addition
there are twenty-six guinea piss and
eight ferrets.
The large classes in the poultry
show are the Barred Plymouth Rocks,
White Wyandottes and Buff Orping-
tons. The appearance of the show has
been greatly improved by the uniform
metal coops and cages that the assoc
citation furnished all exhibitors.
Array of Agricultural Implements. :.
Extending along the Main street side
of the grounds, between the two en-
frances. and around toward the grand
stand, and overlooking into the west
ern end of the infield the agricultural
implement show has been placed where
room could be spared. These exhibits
arc Of special interest TO farmers, par
ticularly since farming with machinery
has grown so apace.
An immense array of grain elevators,
wagons, hay leaders, feed grinders,
stock waterers and feeders, cultiva-
tors, potato diggers, threshihg ma
chimes, silos, farm lighting plants. ma
nure spreaders, tractors, discs and haf-
rows has been crowded into this space.
Part of the infeld has been set aside
for demonstrations of tractors. nearly
q dozen of which are on exhibition.
Auto Show Crowds Space.
Dealers in passenger cars, trucks,
automobile accessories and batteries
were given about all the space that
was left which was not enough. There
is no telling how large the auto
show would have been had there
been plenty Of room. AS it is line OF
cars, trucks and accessories, repre-
senting a score of makes have been
housed in the large tent north Of me
grand stand. 1t was thought possible
some smaller tents might be erected
to cover part of the overflow. The
showing is a very representative one
in spite OF the crowding and the tent
gaiIy decorated and the booths bright
with bunting had gala appearance
