DATES SHOULD NOT CONFLICT

A Matter That Poultry Show Officers ** Should Hereafter Seek to Remedy. It seems to us that the officers of the various poultry shows in this vincinity should get together and arrange dates hereafter that will not conflict. This week two shows were held in Jasper county, one in Rensselaer and one in Remington, and the New’ton county poultry show’ was held at Morocco. All of these shows were but a few miles apart, and their proximity could not be otherwise ••than detrimental to each other, cutting down both the exhibits and attendance. This should not be permitted to occur again if it is possible to arrange it otherwise. The importance of the poultry industry is such that we should each try to secure as great a number of exhibits and as large an attendance at these shows as possible, and the officers ought to be interested in arranging their dates so as not to conflict with any other show’ in their respective locality.
