The Waters Fine

Come on in, the waters fine"
This time worn summer invitation
expresses exactly the sentiment that
officers OF the Gem State Poultry as
ISOLATION are trying to get over this
week to poultry farmers of this ter
ritory. Fears that Boise Valley ex-
hibitors might suffer from cold feet
and not come in this year led to en-
phatic action by the directors
Perhaps the precaution was not
necessary. Certainly Boise Valley
poultry fanciers must appreciate that
the Caldwell poultry show is for home
producers. is an Idaho show and that
IT never can or will be dominated BY
outside exhibitors.
True it is that the show this year
will attract birds from greater dis
tances than they have ever been
brought to Caldwell in previous years.
Tacoma. Helena. Odgen. Grace, Spo-
kane; these are localities that will be
represented here this year. But even
SO the number of birds from the out
side will be small No distant exhibit
or will bring more than three or four
birds those distances to this show
And the inroads that they will make |
on the premiums, should every one
take prize. will be almost negligible.
Numbers make show. II Boise

outside competition. let that rest and
