Emmet Pullin and Tom Gain, the former with Bronze turkeys and the latter with White Holland turkeys, won first prizes in the Chicago show last week and next spring will receive fancy prices for all the eggs they care to sell. Winning first prizes at the big shows was not a new thing For Mr. Pullin, for he has been in the game for a long time but it was Tom’s first experience and he was surprised as his own splendid success. The Pullin prizes were: First on gobbler, first on hen, first on cockerel and first on pullet in the Bronze turkey classes.The Cain prizes were: First on gobbler and first, and second on hen. He showed but the three turkeys. Mr. Cain booked a number of egg orders at $1 per egg. He will not have any birds for sale this year. Mr, Pullin has a reputation for Bronze turkeys and Barred Rock chickens that extends all over the country and the success of Mr. Cain in the White Holland line will bring added fame to Jasper county as a poultry center.
