Dairy Display Will Give State Fair Features That Surpass Anything Ever Attempted in This Line Before, Says Dent.

Announcement was made yesterday by Secretary J. l.. Dent of the Ala bama State Fair association, that arrangements had been completed for the bringing of the cattle and dairy exhibit of the American Jersey Cat tie club to Birmingham for the week of the fair. which gets going oc- tober 2 and closes October '. This is an added attraction in the exhibit line that the state fair management had not counted on, but when tho opportunity came to install this fea- ture the fair officials lost little time in signing for its appearance.
 "Appreciating the remarkable growth of dairying in this state, we lost no time In arranging for the showing of the Jersey Cattle Eduea- tIonal Display In Birming gham," said Mr, Dent. The main thing that con- fronted us at first was the fact that we had arranged for such a main- moth display of exhibits, that we had no room for this additional attrac- tion. When the American Jersey Cat tie club informed us that they could send along a mammoth tent to house the display, however. this clarified the situation. and we sent a return wire accepting the proposition"
 The dairy display gives the state fair two big features that will sur pass anything ever attempted in th.s line before. There's the poultry show. which will prove the most gigantic attraction of it's kind ever staged in the south. The hugeness of the poultry show was in a. measure re- sponsble for the tying up of all sx- hibit buildings, as 1t will require two of the main exhibit halls to house this stupendous poultry show. Eevery known breed of chicken will be dis played in the chicken carnival. and breeds never before seen in Alabama will be brought here especially for fair week.
 Many Added Attractions
 Added attractions are coming thick and fast now, ana despite the fact that a complete show had already taking on the new offerings when it is possible to do so. There's the radio display for instance. It was an afterthought, but has now grown into one of the biggest propositions of the entire fair. The Alabama Power company. the real pioneer of radio in the state. has agreed to cree. powerful broadcasting and receiv- Ing station at the fair grounds, and these two stations will be going full tilt during the fair.
 The thousands of visitors who flock here for the weeks entertain ment from all parts of the state will be given the opportunity of listen ing in on the concerts as broadcas.cd by the Detroit. New York, Pittsburs and Atlanta stations These visitors will see what has been accomplished by science along these lines as mes sages and concerts come treking in from hundreds of miles away--pickcd out of the air.
 They will also see how these con certs are shot off into space that they may be picked up hundreds of miles away. Artists. who havt been entertaiuiHg thousands of radio fans the country over by their concerts as broadcasted by w s ', will lend their aid in broadcasting at the state fair grounds, and helping make this end of the states annual show a great success
