 Premium Awards

The second annual Poultry, Pet Stock and Corn show which closed today, was another practical demon stration of the undeveloped resources of Polk county. The poultry exhibit was the big feature of the show, and yet it lacked fifty per cent of being what it should have been. Too many folks, after seeing the birds on ex- hibit, were sure they had the prize Lansden, state poultry specialist, who acted as official judge, was free to say that Polk county had birds on exhibit that were of standard to go into any state or interstate show. He selected some that are to go to the winners at home. Yet, Prof. H. B.. Arkansas State Fair November II to 19.
 The corn in exhibit was next in im- portance to that of the poultry, this feature being added this year to show the possibilities of Polk county along that line. Then there was the sorghum, milo maize, pumpkins and other farm products. The exhibit of canned goods and preserves, owing to the failure of the fruit crop was not as extensive this year as in pre- vious years. The strongest exhibit in this line was made by Mrs. 5. F. Barron and Miss Pearl Barron of Acorn, with Mrs. Taylor of Corinth as third exhibitor.
 In the pet stock were Collie pups, fox hounds and rabbits. "Charles and Louise," the pair of pea fowls ex- hibited by MT. and Mrs. M. A.. Stratton of "The Boulders,' attract ed more attention than any other single entry, since many had never seen a pea fowl.
 The third great feature of the show was the effort to impress the people of Polk county with the pos- abilities for dairy developments. The prime mover in this was J. r. Calia- han, who had on show his Guernsey male and string of his female off, spring. Prof II. 8. Woodey of Fay- etteville, state dairy specialist, was here for the dairy meeting as was also w. J. Jerrigan, state club lead CT for boys and girls, and G l.. Mel ton, secretary of the Texarkana Chamber of Commerce, the latter coming in the interest of a creamery to be established at Texarkana.
 The lecture Thursday night by Dr. J. R. Grant, state rural school agent, was also linked with this show, the aim of the promoters having been to make the. Poultry, Pet Stock and Corn Show an educational feature along every line of activity. A rally of the boys and girls club members under the direction of county agent c. w. Rroyles and Home Demon stration Agent Mrs. Mary Austin was still another educational feature of the show. Twenty or more boys and girls were in attendance.
