AkVCt OSG III 1/AVO 0GUCh SHOW TOFcrulUkcr
of Big Change to take Place
in Farming.
The Red River Valley Live Stock
Show held at Crookston last week in
connection with the Farm Crops Show
convincedzthe thousands of people who
attended the show that live stock is fast
coming into its own in the Red River
Valley. The exhibits of the various
breeds showed that as good swine can
be raised in this section as any other
place in Minnesota. The fact of the
matter was, the swine show was so
large and the quality so good that those
acquainted with southern Minnesota
and Iowa herds proclaimed the stock
here equally as good as the stock found
in those sections, so the men who said
you can't raise pigs in the Red River
Valley will have to reckon with the pig
business in the future.
The Shorthorn people had an excep-
tionally strong exhibit and some Of the
famous animals of the breed were at
this show. Holstein people we're out in
full force to uphold the interests of the
dairy business, and not to be outdone,
the Guernsey people made very cred
liable showing Of representatives of
their respective breed.
= That sheep are rapidly becoming a
fixture in this section was. evidenced by
the fine showing Of the mutton and
wool combination, the Shropshire.
Over three hundred head of live
stock were shown, all Of them of good
quality and typical of the breed they
representated Together with the show,
the sale was one of the big features.
Over $4,000 changed hands during the
day, when one hundred fifteen head of
A$sock we're sold, going to various parts
: Of Minnesota and the DakOtas. The
top animal was Holstein COW, Dora
Johanna Fayne Homestead, consigned
by the E. G. Schroeder farm, and
bought by R. T. Buckler, of Crookston
for $4,000. The highest price paid for
a Shorthorn COW was $575, paid by Mr..
Scheelk, of Detroit, for one Of the val
liable milking ShOrthOrn COWS from the
A. E. Palmer herd at Euclid. Mr.. Nels
Palm, of Alvarado, made a very good
purchase of Guernsey COW consigned
by the Caribou Farms
The prices received for swine 1ndl-
cate that it costs almost as much now
a-days to buy good brood SOW as 1t
does a COW. $3.50 was paid by Miner A.
Helgeson, of Crookston, for a spring pig
of the Poland China breed, raised by
Peter Sethrie, of Carlisle. Duroc Jer-
sey people sold thirty-two head which
averaged $3.50 each. This is an ex-
ceptionally good average. Thirty-four
, head of Shorthorns averaged $24O.
