POULTRY AUCTION SALE
NEW FEATURE FOR FAIR

In line with its record of being the
pioneer in the Inauguration Of new en-.
hibition features, the Louisiana State
Fair Association has decided to In.
clude In the program of the State Fair
poultry department, October 2S to No.
vember Z, a series of poultry auction
sales.
1t has not been decided exactly how
many Of the sales there will be, but
they will be conducted on at least two
days, and possibly three or four days,
according to the number Of chickens
and other birds listed for the sales.
Owing to the increasing interest mani
tested in the poultry industry in this
section of the country, numerous
fanciers are confidently expected to be
present to bid for the offerings.
Auction sales have each year been
features of the cattle and swine depart
ments, and they have proved such dis
tinct successes, that the management
feels that similar sales in the poultry
department will prove popular. 1t Is
believed that this is the only State
Fair on record to include such tea
ture in its poultry program.
The poultry department, in which
the competition will be open to the
world, will be in charge OF Harley L.
Williams, OF Ration Rouge. as superin-
tendent. Mr.. Williams is the leader
in poultry husbandry for the State NJ
Louisiana. The judges in this depart
ment have been selected as follows:
Poultry, c. P. Van Wrinkle of Dallas.
Texas; pigeons, A. r. Modlin of To-
peka, Kan; and pet stock. C. 8. Glib
son OF Detroit.
1t is believed that the poultry dis
play this year will be the largest ever
seen at the State Fair, including large
collections OF pigeons and pet stock.
General cash premiums total around
$4,000, and, In addition, large num-
Der of special prizes have been award
ed by merchants and others who real
ize the value of poultry raising and
wish to stimulate greater interest in 1t.
Besides the general exhibits, repre-
senting many of the leading farms of
the United States, the boys and girls
clubs Of Louisiana will have many
specimens on display.
