POULTRY, GRAIN SHOW
ADDS NEW FEATURES
Fifth Annual River Falls Show Will
Be Held Dec. 11-12

River Falls fifth annual Poultry
and Grain Show will be held Thurs
cay and Friday, December II and -.
There are several features added to
the show this year that should make
it appeal to everyone. The associa-
ton has the cooperation Of farmers,
townspeople, County Superinten-
dents of Pierce and st. Croix coun-
ties, County Agent in Pierce county
and the teachers in the rural schools,
in this vicinity. The show this year
should be the biggest event Of its
kind ever held in this section.
Exhibits
Poultry.-The prizes will be of
fered for the following breeds of
poultry: White Leghorn, Brown
Leghorn, all other Leghorns; An
conas, Minorcas, any other egg
breed; Barred Rocks, White Rocks,
ether Rocks; White Wyandottes,
Silver Laced Wyandottes, Columbian
Wyandottes, other Wyandottes;
Rhode Island Red, single and rose
comb; Brahama, Cockin, Langshan,
any other meat breed; turkeys, geese
and ducks.
This list is larger than those of
other years, a wider classification is
made possible. This is due to the
fact that the association is now re-
ceiving state aid. The prizes this
year will be $500 first prize, $500
second prize and $1O0 for third
prize as compared with $1.00 for
first, and SOC for second in previous
shows. There is no entrance fee
charged, while practically all poultry
shows in the state have one. Twenty
per cent will be deducted from the
prize money won by successful ex-
hibitons. This leaves very hand
some prize and at the same time
makes it possible to be able to offer
such good prizes.
Corn And Grain Show
This will continue to be a part of
the winter show. We have formerly
had excellent exhibits Of corn and
grain, potatoes and a good showing
is expected this year.
Junior Poultry Show

1t is the plan to have an exhibition
from each school, labeled with the

GLIDING classes in corn and potatoes.
