Junction Poultry
Show Next Week

The premium list for the fifth an
nual show Of the InterMountain
Poultry association of Mesa county
has just been received at this office.
The show will be held next week, De
cember II, IS, and 10.
The Mesa show is one which is al,
ways looked forward to by many
poultry fanciers in this district, as
there are always good premiums Of
fered and usually a very splendid
showing of birds.
A perusal of the premium book
convinces one that they are going TO
do their very best down there this
year. for they have an exceptionally
strong offering in special premiums.
The premium book is well filled with
advertisements from Grand Junction
merchants as well as a sprinkling of
ads from other points. The fifth
show. one would infer, is going to be
good one.
The mere fact that a county like
Mesa can hold a good poultry show is
commendalbe. The industry has prov
en- a very profitable one and the
pride which the people Of Western
Colorado take in exhibiting their
birds at Grand Junction and a little
later on hold a show at Delta each
year puts pep" into the industry.
The poultry industry has grown
rapidly in the past few years. Today
Western Colorado ships out poultry
in carload lots, and usually at a very
good price
