E5TEIKS BREAK RECORD ! An idea of the -comparative- size of llie I'acmc jniernaiionai wun oiner great . livestock events of I the United States can be had front the fact that while the National Dairy show last year had only 675 exhibits on view, the Pacific International has. at the .present moment 854 entries under ;its roof in its dairy section.' which Is only one division of its great all-purpose show. Another illuminating comparison la ,frtyA ),u til that ttiA Vatintl'l Jersey show held last year at Shreve port, Ln, had only 225 entries from 28 exhibitors, while the Pacific Interna tional has today1 334 Jersey, entries in this one subdivision of ltd great dairy iiection, and these entries are from 65 different exhibits who i have brought their blue-ribbon animals irora points - m k. a r (t . n.a Not only in size, but in quality las well, the , Pacific International chal lenges all other great fairs and stock shows to comparison. World champions and winners of purple ribbons will be found, liberally ; proportioned in all breeds and classes, and the names! of the various exhibits listed in the offi cial catalogue are evidence of the fact . that the pedigrees or the entries are of high standards, with world-famous etraina in the various breeds generous ly represented. TERRITORY BAXKS HIGH Careful checking ud of the names and ternational will -demonstrate beyond any doubt that already the territory repre sented by Pacific International exhib its is entitled to high rank among the leading breeding sections of. tee world. With , climatic , and all other natural conditions unsurpassed - anywhere, and development possibilities that are prac tically unlimited, experts au agree mat in the near future the Pacific Coast ana intermountain country snouia ieau the world in livestock production, i Building with a thought for future vnanD;,i 1 1. n Tjt If in TntArnat nna board of directors so planned -the Jiew stock show pavilion thaj extensions can :ba added to all sections, from year to year as-the need for more space arises.

JERSEYS SHOWN The firm of J. M. Dickson & Son are showing four generations of their famous ."ersey family, at the Portland show thL; week. The first generation 13 represented by Wilda of Ashburtfr who is grandam of Lulu Alphea of Ashburn, the world champion 2-year-old over all breeds. Two of Wllda's daughters will be shown Luly May of Ashburn, with rec ord of 710 pounds of fat, and Lulu Flos sie of Ashburn. with record of 583 pounds of fat as a junior 2-year-old both from the same sire, Valentines Ashburn Baro net, who is the tenth bull to be awarded the American Jersey Cattle club silver medal. St Mawes Queen R, a full sister to Lulu Alphea, represents ; the third generation, and a daughter of Lulu and a daughter of a full sister of Lulu Al phea make up the fourth generation. A full brother and two sisters of Lulu Alphea will be in the Jersey Bale on Wednesday. It is seldom if ever that such a chance is offered the public to buy brothers and sisters of world cham pions. ; Dicksona do not make it a habit of showing at the fafrs and were not anxious to consign any animals to the sale, but they are showing this champion family by special request that was al most a demand and they are consign ing a few to the sale to make the qual ity sale of Jerseys possible. The Dickson herd has been built up for years with the idea in mind of mak ing the entire herd one of quality with large average records rather, than for a few phenomenal records. They are find ing. . however, that extra large records will result from such a breeding policy and now find that they have bred ani mals that have taken their place as world champion producers over all breeds. They are using only proved sires and cows that have. entered the register of merit. This herd'a initial bow in the show ring is as an ' educational feature along production lines, bijj will also show up some fine 'dairy conformation and considerable show type. . the climax is to be reached with the annual international exposition at Chi cago.
