RABBIT GROWERS JOIN
The week of January 9th, 1888,
promises to be a big one for Mil
ford because of the sixth annual
State Poultry Show, the 26th an
nual show of the Delaware Crop
Improvement Association, and the
second show of the Delaware Rab-
bit Breeders Association. All of
the above associations are combin-
ing and are having the largest and
best exhibits of poultry and poul-
try products, farm crops and rab-
bits ever held in the State. 1t will
be worth any ones time to visit
this show on any of the days from
January 10th to the 18th and see
just what is being done in our
State along agricultural lines. It
may surprise you to see exhibits
that will compare with any in the
country. On January 18th a big
theatre party will be held by the
above associations at the Plaza
Theatre You will be the guests
of these associations and if you
have not already received your
free ticket, write your County Ag-
ricultural Agent, G. r. Snyder,
Georgetown, and he will gladly
send one to you. Or if you want
program of any of the above
shows you can get it by writing to
him. Last year Sussex County ex-
hibitors won IS first prizes, IS sec
ond prizes, 19 third prizes, is
fourth places, s fifth places, 4 six
tn prizes, and one seventh place in
the show of the Delaware Crop I'M
provement Association. One big
change has been made in the Crop
Improvement Association Show in
the discontinuing of the so ear
county class. TIA its place the am
ateur class has been made into
county classes Of 10 ears and
single ears. This change will no
doubt bring many more entries and
exhibits into this class. The I'll
Club classes have also been divided
into counties, and here, too, the
competition will be keener because
of more entries. The officials of
these shows are doing all they can
to make these shows even larger
and better than last year. If you
were not there last year, plan to
spend at least one day at Milford
during the week of January 9th.
