NOTES FROM
COUNTY FAIR
Who The Winners Were in
The Various Contests
A Fine Display.

meeting with excellent weather, was
we'll attended and considerable inter
est was shown in the wonderful us
NAV of livestock and farm produce
and the other departments OF the 1alr.
However. this office feels there are
certain bright spots which IL is more
interested in than others. For when
we sion and consider the future OF
successful agriculture depends upon
+he class of men and women that are
growing I'D and also the class OF 1--we
Stock and farm crops that the pres
ont generation and the younger gen
GRAFTON are putting on display at the
fairs. we would have of course to con-
slider the Boys and Girls club work.
Although Grant county has not done
as much in club work as some other
narts of the State of Wisconsin, we
feel that we have accomplished
something this year, that was put on
display at the county fair at Lancas-
ter, worthy of mention.
The Kiwanis club, or rather sixteen
members of that club, each sponsored
a bow or girl in the securing, caring
for and showing of pen OF LAMBS
making possible very line eXhlplt III
the Pen of Lambs class as well as tne
Single Lamb class at the falr. Seven
teen pens of lambs were put on eX-
hibit with 50 lambs all told. Ihese
lambs were arranged before froi'
Humphrey of the College OF Agrlcul-
tl1re on Thursday afternoon at one
o'clock and after considerable uepdIe
and working Prof Humphrey placed
them in accordance with his judg-
ment in the order in which they
ehon1d come when considering fat
lambs ready for market. These lambs
were Judged for mutton rather than
for type of the breed which they rep
resented. All of the lambs showing IN
this class were pure bred, grade or
crossbred Oxford lambs.
Aside from the premiums offered by
+he Fair association, the National
Livestock Exchange of Chicago gave
a beautiful loving cup to the winner
in the Pen of Lambs class. This tro-
phy was won by John Bass, son OF
Toe Bass of South Lancaster Ihere
were other pens of lambs that were
close contenders for the trophy ana
first place in the list but lack OF COW
ering in flesh caused them to De
placed below the winner.
