Agricultural Show
Was Big Success

| The Poultry and Grain show at the
Normal last week was quite success
The entries in all classes were large.
There were SO entries of poultry Con-
sidering the fact that this was the
first poultry show in years, this is
considered very good record. There
is no doubt but that in another year
there will be twice that number Of
entries in poultry Thu exhibits of
corn and grain were good and the
quality was e3paciaily gocl. The
prize winning sample of Golden Glow
by F. D. Peirce was sample of spec
ial merit. However, samples exhibit
ed by Fred Smith and John Chapman
were close competitors. The st.
Croix County Asylum at New Rich
mond exhibited large number of
poultry of excellent type.
Exhibits arranged by students at
tracted attention. One booth that
created considerable interest was the
one showing the value of milk as
food. 1t was clearly demonstrated
that milk is the cheapest food avail
able. An exhibit of alfalfa growing
III pots was also of considerable inter-
est. Some soil had been taken from
field and given different treatments.
1t showed that lime and incubation
are necessary for the successful grow
| ing of alfalfa. Otter exhibits of in
terest were those on plant diseases,
soil fertility and the poultry and feed
exhibit. Professor Hunt of the Nor
NAL gave very interesting and in
structive talk on poultry Thursday
evening.
The tractor school which was held
all week also was worth while. There
We're six tractors at the building and
the instruction given was very prac-
| teal and useful. 1t is planned that
next year more extensive courses will
be given. Those attending manifest
ed great deal of interest.
The show was financed entirely by
the Agrifallian Society of the Nor
NAL school. This organization is COM
posed of young men in the Agricul-
tural Department. The money was
raised by giving play earlier in the
season. These same boys had great
deal to do with the active managing
of the Show.
