OF Anna, Texas.
! Competition in this department is
, open to the world, and many herds

F., from Louisiana are expected to be
represented in the exhibits. Ground
for this expectation is given by the
reports and inquiries reaching tbs
Fair Association. The premiums are
! the most abundant ever offered at the
State Fair, and this is proving espe.
cially interesting to the prospective
exhibitors.
In addition to competing for tempt.
ing premiums, exhibitors will have the
privilege OF offering some of their
stock for sale and receiving good
prices therefor. Each Fair attracts
livestock breeders who are anxious To
improve their herds and to take adj
vantage Of the opportunity offered
both at private and auction sales. In
other words, buyer and purchas .r are
brought together, and, as a result the
herds Of this part OF the country are
improved and those making the sales
are rewarded by the financial returns
they receive.
That Louisiana Is well ADAPTED for
the raising OF fine hogs has been thor
oughly demonstrated. Many have gone
into the business during the past few
years, due especially to lessons oh
tanned at the State Fair, but there is
still room for extension of the indus.
try, and the exhibits and sales at this
years Fair will no doubt help in bring.
