FIRST ANNUAL QUAY
COUNTY JUDGING CON.
TEST A BIG SUCCESS

The first Annual Quay County Judg-
ing Contest held at the Experimental
Farm was decided success.
The official judges were Mcssrs
John Robbins, John Eager and Louis
Brandon Of TIE Woodward Oklahoma
Experiment Station.
The judges placed the animals in
the several classes as they thought
they should be placed and after n
few general instructions to the school
teams work was commenced. Each
team went to work in business like
manner and showed remarkable de
gree of concentration for being new
at such work. The teams were al
lowed 10 minutes for judging eac.
class of livestock and an additional
minutes for writing their reasons.
Many Of those who took part in the
contest were much better in placing
the animals correctly than they were
in giving reasons. This part of the
contest will no doubt show an improve
ment next year.
Nara Visa arrived on the ground a
little late but they brought plentiful
supply of pep and school spirit along
with them and easily took first in the
contest. We hope to see more schools
enter the contest next year with the
same pep that Nara Visa displayed
this year

San Jon team took off third honors.
