"The poultry show is as necessary
as is the poultry and it's product"
h. j. Baker. local breeder said in
mixing over his plans for the show.
"\ythout an exhibition OF poultry
and by-products tho world In gem

du,ers. Each show acts as an in
epiration and results in more anna
tours entering the poultry breeding
field.
Amateurs Opportunity.
First the poultry show is the anna
;ours' opportunity. Il is the only
open door into the ranks OF high
class breeders. The amateur who
has no poultry exhibition in which
20 study the splendid achievements
OF other men OF larger experience,
and therefore no place to compare
his work with the work of the ex-
pert cannot possibly make the pro-
gress that he should make In the
culture OF high-class fowls.
Unfortunately the people OF our
wonder city have not yet learned
10 appreciate the meaning OF stan
dard bred fouls. The county fair
has done much good and has caused
much enthusiasm. and brought to-
gcther producers from many miles
about: though these men thinking
they have been really doing big
.h!ggs have not for In reality they
are doing only a small per cent Of
what Is possible. The poultry show
gives them an inspiration to do larg-
er things and they go home deter
mined TO have pure bred birds for
next years producers.
The poultry show is the greatest
eye opener 10 the real situation, The
beginner does not know without the
exhibition what his birds really are.
How could he know. IL he has
not had the opportunity TO COM
pare them with others? The show
IS marvellous public promoting
power. Every man who comes to
poultry show OF any worth at all
will go home singing the praises of
nice fowls and burning in his soul
TO own some.
Show Assemblies Best OF Community.
This is thing that our state
and especially our county needs to-
day. Thousands Of young people are
coming to the front every year TO
take the places OF older ones who
are retiring or TO take new places.
This new generation needs the thrill
OF the finest poultry exhibitions.
Every calling has its right toeg
EVERY calling has It's fight TO

by inviting the public to look upon

assemblies the finest products OF a
country, a state or nation. In
this way the public sees the best

Inc average man VINO mas never

OF being laughed at as a simpleton.
To such people the poultry show
comes as revelation.
"A poultry show that Is what II
should be will be a thing OF beauty
throughout. We have all visited
county fairs where the equipment
Tor poultry exhibits was grotesque
and outlandish. Utterly lacking in
everything that would make n a
place Of beauty and real interest.
The master paintings of the
world would look like worthless

Jealous admiration of everyone who
looks upon them"
