NORTH ANDOVER FAIR
PROVES A HUMMER

The North Andover Fair this year
was hummer. A large entry of high
quality in the fruit, vegetables and
grain classes added to the interest of
the live stock contests. There were
seven entries in the senior calf class,
which Dyas, at one time field man of
the Wisconsin Farmer, placed as fol-
lows: 1st Shorthorn Angus Cross;
owned and fed by Richard Metcalf.
The next four places were won by
purebred Shorthorns as owned and
led by the following: Marion Metcalf,
Helen Metcalf, Alice Kuenster and
Rachel Kuenster.
The judge granted first place on ac-
count of scale, thick lines and con-
tlnuat1on OF the scale of the Short
horn with the quality of the Angus.
The second calf won his place with
heavy line, high quality. The third
calf, though of extreme quality was
not fleshed as we'll through the back
as number two.
The fourth calf was an extremely
good one but a good deal younger
thereby showing to disadvantage.
The junior calf class brought a real
one in Hereford Angus cross that
should give a good account of himself
at later shows, second place went to
a highly fitted Hereford, third place
went to a small steer that some at
the ringside figured to be the best
confirmation of quality of the entire
show, this calf if highly fitted another
year should travel far without defeat !;
fourth place went to a good Angus.
The winners and filters were Dorothy
nY1S Hppcts lott Mol T0Tr
ion Metcaf, third; Harley Foster,
sixth; Frank Barr, seventh.
The junior calf was around champ
ion of the show. Those who saw him
will watch with keen interest the ap-
pearance of this calf at later shows.
In purebred Shorthorn class there
were eleven entries. Final placement
showed four beautiful roans at the
head of the class followed by white
and then two reds Not bad calf in
the eleven, but some were not highly
enough fitted for a baby beef class.
First and second in the senior class
held their places here, to Marion Met
calf goes the credit Of fitting first and
third, to Helen Metcalf the credit for
second and fifth, Alice Kuenster won
fourth, Rachel Kuenster sixth, Allen
Kuenster seventh, Frank Barr eighth,
Allen Barr ninth and eleventh, Wal
ter Kaufman tenth.
There were fifteen samples of white
corn, nine of yellow corn and four of
Calico shown. There was a fine dis
play of garden and canned stuff. The
small grains brought together eight
samples of oats, four of barley and
several entries of other grains and
grass seed.
Gates and Parkins won first in the
Barnyard Golf game with five teams
and no loss. Rogers and partner got
second and in the play-off of a tie
Mason Bros. came third over the
Cassville team.
In pen of pigs-Kalt got two firsts
on real big type Polands, Fosters Du-
rocs the two seconds, and Vogt's Po-
lands the thirds. In the Pig Club
Contest Fosters Durocs won and
Vogt's Chester Whites got second.
Myrl Kalker got first on boar pig;
Frances Vogt, End; Harry Esser, Bird.
Best female pig, Earl and Joe Retail
lick got first and second; Walter
Klinkhammer, third; Howard Met
calft, 4th; Jennings and Allen Barr,
fifth and sixth.
Sow and pigs-Lloyd Parkins won.
Mt. Hope with Delaney pitching to
Shipleigh of Boscobel defeated Patch
Grove battery, Eberhardt and Adrian,
2 to 0. Game closely contested and
a close decision on a ball batted al
most on the foul line was all that
kept the game from extra innings.
Several light showers of rain caus-
ed the cancellation of the boys and
girls part in the athletic contests.
The only other fairs in the county
this year like this are Mt Hope and
Livingston At Livingston much the
same thing was put on with dairy
calves substituted for beef.
We should have a similar fair near
Cuba City another year and have diff
ferent dates for each.
