Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 January 1909 — Good Exhibit at Lowell Show. [ARTICLE]

Good Exhibit at Lowell Show.

Rensselaer is quite well represented at the Lowell poultry show, a total of 46 birds being entered there this week. William Hershman has the largest exhibit, 20 black Langshangs. He has some of the best birds of that variety in the country and should be able to carry off about all the ribbons in that class at Lowell. Emmet Pullins has 16 barred plymouth rocks and bronze turkeys entered, and as Emmet has made a study of these classes and has improved them year after year, he should be able to capture several of the prizes. Everet Brown entered 7 buff rocks in the show and Doss Norman took a trio of fine partridge cochins there. This is a total of 46 entries and our fanciers fully expect to bring back a number of ribbons. It is probable that Lowell will also bring a large number of entries here. The friendly relations existing between the two towns is augmented by the fact that our former townsman, Frank Maloy, is secretary of the Lowell poultry association.
