with their young owners were the
principal attraction at Garden City

E. Mcmillan was indeed busy man
lining up the animals in their re-
spective stalls. What was true Of
the baby beef breeders was also
true of the Boys and Girls can,
ming clubs, the Boys and Girls
Poultry clubs and the Girls Sewing

Perhaps one of the most. enter
tanning features of the program
yesterday was the excellent singing
by Miss Mamie Schippel and Miss
Mabel Hanson of this city, accom-
panied by Mrs. George John.
: That the junior farmers are out
shining the seniors at Garden City
Fair this year is conceded TACT.
This is due to the excellent training
under which the boys and girls club
members have been at the hands or
l.. E. Mcmillan. county agent. 1t is
indeed well worth ones while to go
to the fair to see the fine exhibits
of the boys and girls alone. The
baby beef class OF animals is the
largest ever shown at Garden City
Fair. These young animals, as de
veloped from some of the finest in
te county are equal to any of the
dairy animals in the state in their
class. Many Of the boys and girls
came as far as twenty miles to
show their epet calves, all OF which
had been groomed until teir coats
glistened in the sun. The condition
OF the calves shown is an evidence
of What interest the boys and girls
livestock breeding.

resented on the grounds, by young
