Of hef.piEs would have won the grand
championship In. the breeders class
said Mr. Gregg. Never shave l seen
q better young herd Of any breed than
those four Chester Whites shown by
Good Animals.
In speaking Of the show in general,
Mr.. Gregg said the feature Of the
swine exhibit was the large number
'of individually good animals in all
classes Every class had animals Of
outstanding individuality. which
would stand up highly in any show
In the United States.
"The> swine show was greater in
numbers Ast year" he said, N'hut It
did not have the quality that this
years show has. In every class OF
exhibits there 10 more quality than
last year, The high class individuality
In h animals is what is particularly
pleasing. 81.
Il have noticed this about your
swine shows: every year you are con-
fronted by exhibitors who have been
in the bu9iness' five or ten years and
who are showing for the first time.
That 10 a good sign, for it shows that
will make. great progress in raising
pure-bred stock.
! Il first came to North Dakota. as
an exhibitor In 1911 and 1912, and
want to tell you that there has been
9 wonderful Improvement since then.
In 1920 I-came to Gra1A Forks as a
Judge, and I wal SURPRISED It the
progress that swine breeders had
made.

1T Is the persistence and co-operA-
ton and spirit OF such men as E. r.
Montgomery that are making the
Grand Forks fairs the best in the
state. Mr.. Montgomery Is interesting
the best classLof exhibitors in your
fairs. and he has succeeded in getting
them to show here. You know it Is
not the number Of exhibitors that
counts. bu rather the quality OF both
exhibitor and exhibit. And Monty is
getting the best exhibitors in the
northwest, and of course, they are
bringing the best stock in the north
west to this city.
1T Is because of this work of Mr..
Montgomery > tNal 20 MUCH
is being made in swine breeding at,e,
in other branches Of the livestock IN
dustry. These fairs are an education,
and Mr.. MONTGOMERY is providing the
best knowledge possible by bringing
he best breeders here.
There is room for Improvement In
swine breeding, Of course. The in
dustry is in it, infancy in this state;
the surface hasn't eve been
scratched, but il Monty keeps up his
efforts for this fair the breeders will
so far in the next few years"
