$1,000 will be given as premiums in
the dairy show The Southeastern
Idaho Fair had a-splendid dairy show
last year and in view of the fact that !
many new herds have been shipped

that this years show will exceed all
previous records.
Dairying is one of the most inter
esting industries in Idaho at the
present time. The encouragement
given by the eastern and middle
western dairymen who have visited
our state, has caused this interest to
grow. Another factor which is build
