held at Wabasso August 10Th, was the
largest ever held, with an attendance
of 12O, and the quality of the exhib-
its was much better. The Judge, H.
R. Searles, Dairy Specialist of the
State University, says this speaks well
for the work of the boys and girls and
their parents who are backing up the
boys and girls at home and at these
contests year after year.
Unlike previous years there was
good representation of the different
breeds. There were IA Holsteins, 4
Guernseys, 4 Jerseys, and l Brown
Swiss calf shown. Twenty-three
dairy calves and six purebred pigs
were brought to Wabasso in the fore
noon, weighed at the stockyards and
entered in the contest at the school
grounds. There were 18 calves in the
first year class, in the second, and
in the third.
The canning demonstrations began
at eleven o'clock and were judged by
Miss Schenck from the Club Depart
ment. Due to the bad weather, plans
for the forenoon, and the picnic din
ner could not be carried out. After
the judging was finished, meeting
was held in the auditorium of the
school house which was conducted by
Melvin Campbell. Club songs were
sung and placings and prizes were an
nounced. J. F. Conner of Redwood
Falls gave short talk on the State
Fair and Northwest Dairy Exposition.
Talks were also given by Mr.. Searles,
Miss Schenck and Mr.. Sheldon.
Although the Holsteins exceeded
the others in numbers, they were ex-
Icelled in quality. A grade Jersey
calf, owned by Andrew Larson Of
Springfield, was placed as champion
of the calf show. A purebred Guern-
sey, owned by Miss Mary E. Wittwer,
Redwood Falls, placed second, and the
purebred Holsteins, owned by Bob and
Glen Noting, scored third and forth
respectfully. The first, second and
third prize winners will represent
dairy club work at the State Fair
with their calves. This is the first
time that Redwood County is to be
represented at the State Fair by three
different dairy breeds-Jersey, Guern-
sey and Holstein. This should boost
the dairy interests of Redwood Coun-
,ty.
The calves were hard lot to place,
the Judge, Mr. H. R. Searles, admit
ted. The scoring of the % calves was
very close and those placed down the
line do not feel that they were far out
classed even by the top calf.
There will be 90 club members at
tending the State Fair from Redwood
County with County Agent Sheldon
and his assistant, Melvin Campbell.
These will have charge of the group
and exhibits.
