Poultry Show
Is Big Success
DISPLAY AT ANNUAL SHOW
LAST WEEK NOT SO LARGE BUT
OF EXCELLENT QUALITY.

The annual Poultry Show was held
at the Armory Tuesday, Wednesday
and. Thursday of last week, and was
great success. Although the display
was not so large as last year, the
grade of birds was far better, and the
spirit of competition among the en-
trants was very evident from the ex-
cellent care that had so evidently been
given the birds and the attention that
had been paid to their appearance.
Many birds were entered from neigh
boring towns and there was one entry
from North Dakota. The inability of
Mr.. Goetze to show all his Anconas
was great disappointment to chicken
enthusiasts.
Six cups were awarded by the As
sociation to prize birds and pens.
Henry Jensen won cup for the best
male bird displayed; The Purus Poul-
try Farm displayed the best White
Leghorn Cockerel; H. F. Rabbe of New
Red Cockerel, Mrs. A. F. Bechtold of
Wabasso took first prize with the best
pullet displayed, and Mrs. Mosier won
two cups by displaying the best Coc-
kerel and best pen. The prizes were
well awarded and there were many
close decisions. Mr.. Hoberg of the
University farm was judge and he
thoroughly understood his business.
A dressed capon was on display
which showed the correct way to dress
them. A capon brings a high price
and is known by the way it is dressed.
Several fine groups of eggs were dis
played, the winning dozen weighing
two pounds.
Three Belgian Hares and two Guinea
pigs were entered in the contest these
greatly attracting the younger folk.
The hares were healthy and in fine con-
dition and distinctly showed that great
care had been taken in raising them.
Mrs. r. A. Cooper, Secretary of the
Association assumed control of the
Show because of President Gales
illness; and the wonderful success of
the meeting is due largely to her fine
work.
Miss Kass, who was to have given
a talk on caponiZing poultry, was
taken i'll and could not be present.
Many people anticipated hearing
Miss kass' talk and were much disap
pointed.
Mr.. CHAPMAN from the University
farm spoke at the Court House Thurs
day afternoon on poultry. There was
a good attendance and the talk was of
great benefit to poultry raisers of the
County. Lynn Sheldon, Redwood
County Agent also gave very in
structive talk.
