such shows as the Western Royal
of Spokane.
A large number of Jerseys are
shown this year; the Holsteins also
show a considerable increase over
last year. Due to the weather con-
ditions in one locality alone, in the
vicinity of Addy, at least thirty head
of stock were held from the fair on
account of the late harvest.
Joe Turner's Calf
The calf donated last year by Joe
Turner, former president of the
association, and later sold at auction
to E. G.. Kohlstedt, was entered by
him this year and took first prize
in junior yearling bull class and
also grand. championship. This calf's
name is Tribute 812O57, born Jan.
30, 1919; sire Stamford Prince, dam
Vesta Maple 4th.
2310 Pound Bull
A. E. Skidmore entered 2310
pound red polled bull that the judges
declared was one of the best bulls
shown in the northwest. The bull
was not in show flesh and was
weighed without having had food or
water
E. w. Mccain of Rice, who had
some fine Guernseys in stalls near
the big bull, states that if Mr.. Skid
more was wealthy man and lived
in the east he could get several
thousand dollars for his bull. AS Mr..
Skidmore is living in Washington,
he is asking $500 for the animal.
Prize Pig Without Tail
A pig without tail won for its
boy owner $50 in prizes. Havin
Gilmore entered a pig at the eleventh
hour. The pigs tail had been frozen
off last winter. The boy chose the
pig from a litter belonging to his
father and fitted it for the fair.
This pig won Armour & Co.'S special
prize for the best prime hog judged
from butchers standpoint, and the
First National Bank pig club first
prize and first prize for Berkshire
SOW under one year old, and the first
prize offered by the Spokane Union
Stock Yards for the best pig nine
months old or under.
Agricultural Entries Good
B. r. Moran had the largest num-
Der of agricultural entries. His ex-
hibits on the whole were good and
he entered in many classes, which
makes him a creditable showing.
Many of the vegetables entered
were entered for their large and
extraordinary size without any idea
of quality or uniformity. Prof. E.
C. Durdle states that it would be
we'll for the people to bear in mind
the types of vegetables getting first
place and to watch more for correct
size and uniformity in making their
entries in the future.
Prof. Durdle states that, consider
ing the weather and the fact that
the farmers were busy, the exhibits
have been good and the thing to do
now is to work toward good exhibits
in the agricultural department for
next year.
The potato exhibits were among
the best and the judging on this class
was close, especially on three of the
lots for the purpose of determining
the sweepstakes prize.
