POULTRY SHOW PRIZE WINNERS

Jasper County Exhibitors Carry Off Many Prizes. FEW CORN EXHIBITS ENTERED ■ * X , Poor Year for Corn Keeps Many Former Exhibitors from Making Entries This Tear.' ; The annual exhibit of the Jasper County Poultry association, which has been in' session here this week, ‘ closes tonight. Combined with the poultry show this year was ithe first ■’annual Jasper county corn exhibition, but owing to the very unfavorable corn w’eather , the past year the entries did not come up to expectations. There was no reason, however, why there should noi have been more entries for all corn was poor arid an exhibitor stood just as good a chance of winning first prize as though hehad corn with a very high score. However, there is no cause for complaint on the poultry show, for exhibitors came from far and near arid the rivalry was keen in al! breeds. '• It is one of the best poultry shows ever held in Jasper or any of .the neighboring counties. While the poultry business in Jasper county is yet in its infancy, the exhibits would not indicate such, for the birds being shown are; as good as can be found in any coupty Show in Indiana. Aside from the exhibits of fancy poultry there are many other interesting displays. Chief among these was a three-legged chicken, belonging to the Prior Produce market, add various rabbit breeds, entered 15y I ~”Raymond McKay, Clyde Tilton, Ernest and Wade Abbott and Miltqn Roth. There is also a pen of guinea pigs on exhibition by Harold Sharp. There are also two entries of bantams, made by Byron 'Hemphill and Carl Worland. There are no prizes for any of these exhibits, but it is quite probable that provisions will be made for such next year. - President J. M. Sauser is doing much to make the exhibit as entertaining as possible for all visitors and when one tires of viewing the prize birds Mr. Sauser. will enliven the occasion and furnish spice and variety by rendering a few choice selections on his Victrola.

The president’s cup, awarded to the school girl under 18 years of age making the best exhibit, was awarded to Miss Leia Reed. Miss Reed exhibited a pen of White Wyapdottes that scored 183%. President Sauser had also announced a prize of a hatchet to be given to the owner of the lowest scoring bird in the show, and this will be given to Mann Spitler of Thayer. Mr. Spitler is the owner of a certain Campine cock on exhibition that did not Quite come up to the ideals of the judge. M. I.
