inoculated with anti-hog cholera
serum by DIR. Mclaughlin of the State
Livestock Sanitary Board and the
serum was supplied through the
kindness of Mr.. Crockett, Secretary
of the Fair Association.
The boys club work has no doubt
been the medium of starting an in
terest in exhibiting livestock at the
Pocomoke Fair, since the exhibit of
pure bred hogs this year by boys, as
we'll as adults from Maryland and
Delaware, greatly outnumbered any
previous exhibit and was of exceed
ing high standard.
Poultry was exhibited by several
Of the boys and girls club members.
In the home demonstration booth in
the agricultural building, demonstra-
tions were given by three different
club teams on the planning, prepar-
alton and serving of breakfast. These
demonstrations attracted much at
tention from the passing public and
the girls received much commendable
praise on their ability of public pre-
sentation. The exhibits of canned
goods, baking and sewing were of a
high quality and not few premiums
were awarded by the Fair Associa-
ton.

front rank of All Star members.
