GLIB MEMBERS ARE SHOWING
KEEN INTEREST IN EXHIBITS
AND CONTESTS AT JUNIOR FAIR
Many Famous Dairy Herds VIII Ex-
hibit in the Dairy Show.

The Southeastern Idaho Fair FOR
1923 promises to be very interesting
event in spite of the handicaps. Plans
are we'll under way for one OF the
largest jurion fairs and dairy shows
ever held in this section of the state
All of the boys and girls clubs in the
eleven southeastern Idaho counties
will participate in the junior fair, and
the dairy show is open to everyone.
Because Of the unusual amount OF
interest in dafrying at the present
time the dairy show Is attracting at
tention from every section. In all
probability the following well-known
breeders will exhibit at this show:
Mrs. Minnie Miller will bring her
prize-winning herd Of Guernseys from
Wendell This is one of the best
herds Of Guernseys in the northwest.
having won Junior champion at the
Pacific International Livestock Show
At Portland last year.
C. 8. Potter, Of Ogden, is expected
with his fine herd Of Holstiens. Mr..
Potter has carried the Senior, Junior
and Grand championships in the lead
ing shows of the Intermountain coun-
try for the last two seasons. He has
as herd sire a $4,000 individual and
two females representing the best
lines of production in this section OF
the United States.
Tho animals which will be shown
from the Idaho Technical Institute
comprise number Of daughters and
xranddaughters Of $4,000 COW pur-
chased from Wisconsin a few years
sgo. This herd of females are all
record producing cows and are under
the expert supervision Of Mr. Thomp-
son.
Mr., G. e. Johnson, manager OF the
Sunnyside Dairy at Idaho Falls, Will
probably show his fine Holstein cat
tie. These animals have been on ex-
hibit at the Southeastern Idaho Fair
in past years and Mr.. Johnson has
made several additions to his herd
which will make competition very
keen. .e,tn
Mr.. R. F. Johnson, manager OF the
Asylum farm at Blackfoot, will ex-
hibit the. fine Holstein herd from that
farm.
The Industrial School -at-St.- An
thony will probably exhibit fine
herd of cattle. q.rasgsv
In addition to these famous herds
and the recent importation OF local
dairy cattle, we will have a car load
of good animals from the Aberdeen
section, which will lend dignity to the
show and make the premiums more
coveted.
The inability of the committee to
afford premiums in the hog depart
ment will not eliminate this import
ant section entirely from the 1928
fair. Among the prominent breeders
who will attend this fair and show
their high class hogs will be Eric
Sundauist of Firth. Probably no man
in this section has made greater
strides in the upbuilding of a fine
herd than has Mr.. Sundquist. Start
ing just few years ago with rather
plain type of hogs he can now show
you a complete herd of very typey III
dividuals and a credit to any breeder.
Mr.. Sundquist states that great deal
of his success has come through the
knowledge he has received from at
tending the past Southeastern Idaho
Fairs. We are proud of his work ana
point to him as an example OF the far
reaching results this great instltu-
ton has obtained. A number of the
breeders have signified their intention
of making a display in this depart
ment of the fair.
A great deal of interest is being
shown by the farmers in this county
toward making the farm products de-
partment a creditable one this year,
in spite of the lack of premiums. We
will assemble as many exhibits as
possible through the county agents,
and these exhibits will be in the ma
ture of certified products, seeds, etc.
The regular classifications, refer
ring directly to the Junior Fair, will
be filled by splendid display of ami
mails, farm products, and household
9xl1DltS from eleVeu VI LIE loouin6
counties OF the state. The boys clubs
will exhibit hogs, sheep, dairy cattle
and farm products. The girls clubs
will exhibit cooked foods, canned
fruit and vegetables, clothing and
fancy work. Cash premiums are be-
ing offered In some classes, and many
special premiums have been given BY
different business houses throughout
the county.
A livestock judging contest win be
held on Tuesday morning in which
teams from every county will conn
pete.. Cattle, hogs and sheep will be
judged and oral reasons given for the
placings. Thirty dollars will be CIV
en- to the first team, fifteen to the
