Agricultural and Live
Stock Show Success

The second, annual County Agricul-
ture and Live Stock Show held in
Pennington last Friday and Saturday
was well attended. The exhibits were
in many respects, better than last
year. The parade of private and COM
mercial cars, on Friday, was very
attractive one and called forth favor
able comments from the spectators.
The parade of live stock, on Saturday,
was an excellent feature Of the two
days show.
The agricultural exhibits held in the
big tent, consisted of some mighty
good specimens of farm crops and
showed that the people Of st. Francois
county are interested in better crops,
The display of apples and corn, de-
serve special mention. Some excel
lent corn was on. exhibition by the
boys of the Corn Club.
The exhibit of poultry also in the
tent, was one that is seldom equaled
at a county show. The large number
of entries as well as the quality of
the birds exhibited, speaks well for
the poultry industry in the county.
The livestock, including mules, hogs,
beef cattle. and dairy cattle, attracted
large crowds of people throughout
the two days. Mules of excellent
quality and as big as one might de-
sire were exhibited. The herds Of
beef cattle, with few exceptions,
showed that care and attention had
been given them. The excellent ex-
hibit Of dairy cattle of both breeds in
dicate the big strides that dairying is
taking in the county. The judge of
dairy cattle, E. M. Harmon, of the
Extension Service, College of Agricul-
ture, was profuse in his praise of the
dairy cattle. The, class of year old
and over Jersey cattle in one class,
lined up at one time, was worth trav-
cling long way to see. The class of
animals shown by the boys and girls
in the club was complimented by the
Judge. The care and attention given
the calves by some of the boys and
girls was much better than last year.
The home economics exhibit held in
the Masonic Temple was reported bet
ter than last year. The canned fruit
and vegetable exhibits were of out
standing quality.
