NEXT YEAR-THE PRIZE
WINNERS

Poultry Show at the Sank Centre
Armory Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day of last week was success. While
not as many birds were entered as
had been hoped for the show was a
real education to the poultry raisers.
The association officers have mailed
out the checks for all premiums and
it is expected there will be a tidy bal
ance on hand for next years show.
"A. c. Smith of the University farm
was sole. judge Of the birds. A num-
Der of entries in several of the class
es were, thrown out, even though
there was no competition. Mr.. Smith
stated that he would not jeopardise
his license as competent judge by
awarding premiums to inferior birds.
Friday evenings meeting at the
Community Club rooms was a very
instructive one. Mr.. Smith used live
birds in illustrating his talk on how
to judge poultry and his audience
gained much valuable information.
The silver cups offered by the bus
mess men were awarded by George
Minette, superintendent of the show.
President j. B. Schoenhoff of the
Stearns County fair presented the
gold prizes offered by the fair to
Stearns county breeders. H. F.
Schmidt, local manager for Swift &
Co., presented the three $1,000 cash
prizes hung up by his company.
Saturday afternoon G. H. Mattson
of the Game and Fish department. of
the State made an instructive talk
on the conservation of the wild life of
the northwest. In the absence of the
man scheduled, M. A. Nye, Local
Manager of the Blue Valley Cream
cry Co., made very instructive talk
on smut in grain, and how to prevent
it..
