SCORE CARD SYSTEM (Continued from nage 1.) experienced breeder than a car load of score cards. Again the exhibitors at the local shows have a chance to gain some Information by the score card system of judging, while the experienced breeders at the national shows already have the information. The comparison system will never teach the amateur the defects of his fowls. No system of Judging will ever do that as completely as the score card. The score card in the hands of a competent judge reveals every defect to the amateur, while the comparison system gives the winner and the loser practically no information regarding the defects that caused the birds to win or loose. Some of the minor defects may not be shown on the score card, but th? majority of all the most prominent defects will be shown up plainly and that Is what the amateur wants to see. Every effort should be put forth to Interest the beginner, as the future all ; depends on the young and inexperl- . enced breeder. Poultry shows will ■ realize more benefits from the amateur if they will cater to their wants. We must give the fancier what they demand; otherwise your efforts will fail. Without doubt the score card is of vastly more beneflt to the breeder that is just launching out than any comparison system, hence the wisdom ’ of each and every local show adopting the score card system of judging.
