LIVE STOCK SHOW ATTRACTS INDIANA

Entries Made From Twenty-Nine States of Union at International Live Stock Show. Indiana raisers of pure bred livestock have entered 481 head of prizewinning animals in the International Live Stock exhibition which began at Chicago lats Saturday, and lasts until Saturday of the present week. Entries have been made from 31 states, even California sending stock. The entries closed on November 15th and at this time there were 4,277 head entered, the largest enry list in the history of the show. There is more interest displayed in this show than ever before. It is the first show held in two years, there being no exhibition in 1914 or 1915, owing to the hoof and mouth epidemic. B. H. Heide, secretary and general manager of the International, expects the show this year to break all records for attendance. “The farmers are prosperous and they are giving more attention to improving breeds of their live stock,” he said. All of the Indiana exhibitors who have been showing their animals at the show for years, will be back. Warren T. McCray, of Kentland, whose Hereford cattle always carry away the majority of the prizes in that division, has forty head entered this year. There will be plenty of competition among the Hoosiers for prizes in the Hereford division. The entries are C. T. Bailey and son, of Lowell; Crouch & Son 1 , of Lafayette; Warren T. McCray, of Kentland, and several other prominent breeders.
