sented include California, Washing
ton, Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Wy
oming. Colorado, Idaho and Utah.

cational features of the show. Calf,
lamb and pig clubs will be repre-
sented by the products Of the boys
and girls of the territory and will
be given special attention this year,
prizes being in prospect
for awards. The exhibit generally
will be more extensive than in the
past and the live stock will be of
a higher quality.
