Fair OF louisiana, October % to No
vember 2. inclusive, will be those en-
tered by the Boys and Girls DAIRY

terest manifested in different sections
Of the State, the work Is going to en-.
joy wonderful expansion within the
next year or two.
Among the exhibits on which pre-
miums have been offered are butter,
sweet milk. cottage cheese, dairy work
records, and homemade conveniences
Tor handling milk on the farm. Some
OF the exhibits will be shown espe-
cially to stress the Importance of milk
in diet and the necessity for it for
growing children. There is great
deal of waste, but by using the
methods taught in the Dairy Clubs the
farms can utilize milk and milk prod
ucts that are now considered OF no
value.

management, an unusually large mum
Der OF parishes will be represented IN

done in agricultural development In its
section.
The Parish Fair exhibits win be
shown in the mammoth Agricultural
Building, the largest structure on the
grounds, which is 250x150 feet. Uni
form space for booths. as heretofore,
is allowed. In addition to the quality
of the products displayed, the attrac-
tfveness of the booth will figure in the
Judging.
Exhibits that are shown in the
parish fair booths are not barred from
the general exhibitions They may
also be entered in the individual con-
tests. and many farmers who contrib
ute to respective parish exhibits will
likewise compete for individual prizes
In various classes.
From the Parish Fair exhibits the
visitor will receive splendid idea of
the fran progress In Louisiana, for
every section will be rep
resented, and scarcely product
grown in the State wiIl-be missing.

Premiums Total s6ooo-Famous Herds
Of U. S. and Canada to Be
Represented.

/ Visitors to the State Fair of Louis
lana, October rs to November Z, in

The State Fair of Louisiana follows
the National Dairy Show at Chicago,
and If plans materialize special train
will be operated from Chicago to
Shreveport to accommodate Jersey

Another development of interest in
connection with the Jersey Cattle

awarded in the National Jersey Cattle
Show. This amount is declared to be
the largest ever offered for dairy cat

the show. arrangements have been
made for it to be staged in the giant
State Fair Coliseum. which heretofore
has been used for vaudeville and sim
liar entertainments. In courtesy to
the exhibitors from other sections the
Louisiana Jersey breeders will exhibit
their cattle under tents to be pitched
for their special accommodation, If

ors an excellent idea Of the advance.
ment this section 10 the country is
making in raising fine hogs. The
Judging win be done by J. j. MeLain
Of Anna, Texas.
Competition in this department is
open to the world, and many herds
from other states as well as many
from Louisiana are expected to be
represented In the exhibits. Ground
for this expectation is given by the
reports and inquiries reaching the
Fair Association. The premiums are
the most abundant ever offered at the
State Fair. and this is proving espe
cfally 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 purchaser are
brought together, and. as d 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 OBJ
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.
Ing on some Of this Improvement.
