JUNIOR EXHIBITS AT COUNTY
FAIR ELICIT WORDS OF
PRAISE By ALL
VISITORS
The outstanding feature of the Jun
ior Department was the splendid ex-
hibit Of the boys who were in the
Farm Bureau and Fair Association
Sow and Litter Clubs. Twenty four
herds were exhibited
A trip through the Club Tent was
enough to convince the visitor that
Delaware County has some Hog Men
In the making that will make present
day breeders go some when they enter
the competitive field.
Practically all Of the boys complet-
ed their contracts. A few met with III
luck which detracted from their ef-
forts. A number of the boys saved one
hundred per cent OF the filters and
made a wonderful showing Of their
ability as feeders and caretakers.
The best SOW and litter exhibit OF
the twenty four was shown by Gerald
barrow of Dundee. His pigs were fin
ished and growthy and won the praise
Of visitors. Every pig narrowed was
saved and Gerald now has q good
foundation for the future after his
consignment to the Fair Association.
His herd won first prize in the County
Contest and first in the Association
Contest.
Harold Sutton Of Delhi, who is ?
fancier Of Duroc Jersey hogs had 2
splendid exhibit. While his herd did
not show the uniformity Of finish ev-
idenced in the frst prize herd, yet he
had q growthy litter that was pro-
fine by the judges. Harold
saved nine out Of litter OF eleven
which shows that he is a good care
taker. Through his efforts he secured
second place in the County Contest
and first place in the Farm Bureau
Contest.
The third best SOW and litter In the
county was shown by J. F. Gienapp OF
His herd OF Durocs were
we'll developed and showed good care.
The entire litter Of eight were saved
which was factor in placing this herd.
Mr.. Gienapp is proud OF his enorts ana
promises to make one OF the gooo
breeders of the future.
The fourth winner in the county
contest was Victor Hakenson OF Man
chester who helped to represent the
oneida Consolidated School. Victor's
exhibit was well developed and had ne
shown a larger herd probably would
have rated higher in the placings'
However, out of hitter OF four ne
raised all the animals, taking third
place in the Farm Bureau Contest,
showing that his efforts ranked well
with the other boys Of the country.
Henry Logan Of Manchester cap
tured fifth place In the county contest.
Henry had good herd, having raised
o1l ~ litter OF seven. The judges
claim it wa sa very close placiny be-
tween fourth and fifth. Had Henry
herd shown little more size they no
doubt would have secured lourln
place. This herd won second place IN
the Fair Association Contest.
Burdette Clendennen OF Greeley won
the sixth place In the County Contest
Out of a litter Of six he raised FIVE.
They were growthy bunch of shoats
and showed good care and attention
Burdette ranked sixth place In the
Farm Bureau contest.
Seventh place in the County Contest
was won by John S. Barr OF Greeley
on Chester White Exhibit. The
Judges were undecided for consider
able time as to the sixth and seventh
place in the open contest, finally rat
ing Burdette Clendennen sixth place,
owing to the fact that his herd showed
more growth for their age. However,
John had a good exhibit and ranked
third in the Fair Association Contest
The judges found very keen compe-
tition in awarding all the prizes and the
mere statement OF the places won IN
the exhibit do not indicate the COM
petitive side OF the contest. AS IN q
good many instances, the placings
might have been interchanged by
second Judge. The boys who were
successful in winning prizes this year
and who had good exhibits will feel
we'll assured that they stood rather
high in the estimation of the Judges
but owing to the fact that only SO
many prizes were awarded there was
a limitation.
