SAUK CENTRE SCHOOLS MAKE
WONDERFUL RECORD AT
SO. ST. PAUL

The Brown Swiss calf owned nv
George Minette of Sank Centre was
awarded the grand champion prize
over all breeds of dairy cattle at the
Junior Live Stock Show at South st.
Paul last week.
The awards at the show are based
on the showing condition and indi-
viduality of the calves, and on; the
records submitted on the feeding.
general management, gains and cost
records.
Georges calf, which is registered
under the name of Dorothy Believe,
was an outstanding animal at the
show, and always drew the largest
group of admirers even before the
show, while standing in the barns,
and at the depot. She is in excellent
show condition, George was told, and
was fitted for exhibition in a way
that couldn't be beat. She is beauti-
full, and is smooth and straight all
over. The calf stood in the show
ring in the height of perfection. The
prize is $25 in cash and free trip to
the Information Live Stock Show in
Chicago, next week.
On shipping the calf back home,
Mr.. Minette demanded extreme care
on the part of the Express company.
and asked for quick service. AS a
result the calf was sent back on the
flyer, No. 20 which was ordered to
stop at Sank Centre to let off the
prize calf, which act is certainly a
fitting tribute to specimen repre-
senting the greatest industry in the
state.
Sank Genre boys we've also repre-
sented with other stock at the show.
This work is all product of the
Agricultural contest and club work
conducted. by E. M. Gillig of the 10
cal high school. Mr.. Gillig went
down to the show last week with the
first prize winners in each line of
work, as follows: George Minette.
with his calf, Lyle Veeder with a,pig
and Otto Schilts and George Munik
who competed for honors in livestock
judging. s
Over 800 boys and girls were at
the show in some line of work, and
only the best from each county were
admitted. Lyle Veeder1s pig did not
succeed in capturing the blue ribbon,
but Lyle did succeed in getting over
five cents a pound over market price
for his pig. In group of over 40
boys, competing for the honor OF
best live stock Judge, Otto Scholtz
stood eighth, which is good for only
a young fellow.
The show at South st. Paul brings
to close of the work of the boys
and girls which was done during the
summer with live stock.
We quote Mr.. Gillig on the follow
ing statements. Any visitor at the
show could not help but be impressed
with the fact that a lot of careful
work was done by veryone. It kept
the boys busy quite a bitof the SUM
mer months, which are usually the
vacation months. These boys gave
high evidence of a very ENJOYABLE
SUMMER and at the same time ac-
complished great piece OF work.
It is a great piece OF educatlonai
work, that helps to make worthy and
efficient citizens, who will help Unele
Sam feed the world which viii pro-
badly be one of Uncle's big jobs.
When boys are busy, and at the same
time do not experience drudgery
with it, they are spending a very i1i-
teresting time, which is just as
worthy of the name vacation and
more beneficial to everybody than
the idle shiftless vacation.
The Junior Show was noted for
several other things. A record price
of 80 cents pound on foot, was paid
for the champion fat steer, to little
Is year old boy. from Blue Earth,
and 35 cents was paid for the best
fat hog.
Sank Centre is represented IN some
way or other in this show every year,
and comes out at or near the top OF
the list, always. This Junior wdtk
deserves encouragement, for it is OF
great educational value in every way.
Mr.. Gillig states that he is already
making his plans for next years
work, and is confident of great re-
suits.
