Quality rather than quantity o

Of the outstanding features of th'
Grady county poultry show beins
held here this weekend, Mrs. Net
tie r. Coryell, county home demon
stration agent, declared this morn
ing.
Only 125 birds had been entered
at 10 o'clock this morning. This
number is much smaller than the
number expected to be on display
Mrs. Coryell said. "The farmers are
too busy to devote any time to the
poultry show Although the quality
OF the birds on display are better
than was ever shown here before,
many sure prize-winners are not
being exhibited because the owners
cannot spare the time to bring the
birds in to the show she declared.
No Monsres.
No mongrels- birds of an indefin-
able breed are being exhibited. At
I'll previous Grady county poultry
shows, Mrs. Coryell states, mongrels
end 'pet" birds save been displayed
il numbers. Rabbits or pigeons are
not included in the displays.
The egg display is larger than the
one last year.
Much interest is being manifested
in the show, it was evident this morn
ing M visitors passed in and out
OF the show building throughout the
morning. The rush was expected 10
come late this afternoon and this
evening
Doors of the show building will
remain open until 10 O'Clock to-
night, in order that busy people who
work during the day may be given
a chance to take in the show.
MANY DlSLTlCl WltUSTSs
That the quality of the poultry on
display at the third annual show il
superior to that shown at any pre-
vious show, is evidenced by the fact
that a large majority of the birds
are winners of prizes awarded at
the various community, or district
poultry shows held in the county
during the month of November
Poultry from every part of tie
county made up the display list
every section of the county is rep
resented in the show" Mrs. Coryeli
declared.

until tomorrow. E. @. Edison, poultry
specialist, with the extension de
partment of the Oklahoma A. and NJ
