Two Shows Planned
By Cattle Club
Cecil Jersey Breeders Will
Hold Exhibits In August
And In September

The Cecil County Jersey Cattle
Club today announced that 1t will
hold two shows this season, the first
on Aug. S at the 9. A. Beamer farm
on the southern outskirts of North
East, the second on Sept. 10 at
William duPonts Foxcatcher Farms
at Fair Hill.
This is the first year in which two
shows will have been held. officials
of the club and Jersey breeders
throughout the county anticipate the
most successful and heavily-attended
exhibitions in the history of the Or
ganization.
The first show will be devoted en-
tirely to entries from Cecil County,
where the Jersey breed enjoys con-
stantly increasing popularity. The
second will be open to entries with
out restriction as to county or State.
In this connection, inquiries already
have been received from owners of
many famous Jersey herds in Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and Delaware,
assuring close competition between
superlative animals.
Detailed arrangements for the
Fair Hill show have not yet been
completed, but will be published in
the near future.
1t is particularly the desire Of the
clubs show committee to make the
exhibit at the Beamer farm attrac-
tive to the small breeder, who may
have had little experience in the
show ring. 1t is hoped that prac-
tically every Jersey breeder in the
county will have at least one entry.
One major innovation in this
years county show will be special
class for cows with production rec
ords. The club officials will extend
production requirements next year to
include other classes, and wish TO
give exhibitors full notice of this
intent.
The list of classes for the first
show is as follows: Bull calf under
one year, bull one year and under
two, bull two years and over,
champion bulb; heifer calf under
one year, heifer one year and under
18 months, heifer IS months and
under two years, heifer two years
and under three, COW three years and
over, production class, novice calf
club class, champion female); get
of sire, produce of COW.
Entry blanks now are being mall
ed. They may also be secured from
the Office of the Cecil County Agent,
or from officials of the club. Officers
for the present year are: David
Wherry, president; James F. Wood,
Jr., vice-president, and J. Elwood
Locke, secretary-treasurer Mem
bers of the show committee are: s.
A. Coleman, chairman; Hoagland
Gates, James F. Wood, Jr., and
Carl Fecht.
In addition to the Cecil County
shows, other Jersey exhibitions are
scheduled which will demonstrate
that the Observation-Disclosures State
Club is in the van of Jersey activities.
The others will be as follows: Aug.
1, Western Shore show, at Holly
Beach Farms, Annapolis; Aug. 8,
Newcastle County Calf Club Show,
Cowview Farms, Glasgow, Del;
Aug. 20, Eastern Shore show; Sept.
8, Jersey Day, Maryland State Fair,
Tifnonium.
The past year has seen an I'M
precedented demand for good Jer-
seys, to such an extent that several
Cecil County breeders have been
forced to turn down orders. Evil
IDENTIFY, there is much room for
further expansion of the breed in
this county, and the shows will fur
nish ocular demonstration of what
has been achieved in it's improvement
since the county club was organized
in 1880.
