GREAT JERSEY CATTLE
EXHIBIT AT SEDALIA

Approaching the remarkable
growth Of dairying in this State the
officials Of the Missouri State Fair
have arranged for the showing Of the
Jersey Cattle educational display at
Sedalia, August 19 to 26th.
The exhibit will be shown by the
American Jersey Cattle Club and will
be in charge of personal repre-
sentative Of the breed association. 1t
will be housed in large tent to be
erected in close proximity to the cat
tie barns and will be designed to pre-
sent educational and economic fea.
lures Of dairying, Particular stress
will be laid on the possibilities that
thoroughbred Jersey stock holds for
the small farmer and a canvass will
be begun Immediately by club Off
cials to insure maximum attendance
of Jersey breeders at the exposition
where the opportunity to inspect the
exhibit will be afforded.
On the side walls of the exhibit
tent. which will measure 40X80 feet,
there will be educational charts bear
ing life-sized photographs of farmers
Jersey cattle together with official
records and other information that
have been grouped carefully to afford
ease of assimilation. Daily lectures
and demonstrations by livestock men
will be conducted in explanation Of
these charts and displays and the
various phases of all operations of
dairying, whether from the standpoint
of Jersey cattle interests or those of
other breeds will be discussed.
Among the daily demonstrations
will be cow-judging on live animals
by which the audience will be in
structed by an expert as to the points
which indicate large producing ability
The animals used in these lectures
will be the Jersey State Champions
for production, so an unusual oppor-j
tunity is afforded all dairymen to
learn the points which indicate the
profitable producers. When it is
realized that one-third of the 100000
900 dairy cows in the United States
are being kept at loss, the value of
this educational exhibit to both the
farmer and the consumer cannot be
overlooked.
In addition to the educational tent
the owners of the greatest Jersey
herds in the State are bringing their
prize winners to enter competition
with other breeds, so an unusual OPP
portunity is open To everyone inter-
ested in cattle Oh the health Of their
family to view these animals upon
which the future of our nation rests.
In addition to the exhibits, lectures
and demonstrations, series of meet
ings of state and local Jersey cattle
clubs are to be conducted in the ex-
hibition tent on different days during
the exposition, and 1T is hoped by
means Of this demonstration to make
the exposition the official annual
meeting-place of the future for Jersey
breeders. 1t is the first time in the
history Of the Club that an effort has
been made to present such a preten-
tious and elaborate display anywhere
except at the National Dairy Show
last year. The results obtained from
the display in Minnesota We're such
that officials of the organization felt
that a similar experiment should be
attempted in this State.
