COOS II THE FAIR
4-H Club Contestants and Coun
ty Display Reported on by
George Jenkins
* S'
441 club members from Coos coun
ty attending the state fair in Salem
this week have again won their ahare
of honors, according to Geo. Jenkins,
who returned from the fa|r grounds
with the judging and demonstration
teams Wednesday evening.
Sidney Cadmpn, who won a regis
tered Holstein calf last year at the
state-fair, as a prize for being se
lected as. the most, outstanding Hol
stein calf club member in the state,
won first place in the Herford show
manship contest this year. Teddy Cad
man, hie brother, won fourth place in
the Holstein showmanship contest.
Coos county’s livestock judging
team, including three boys from the
Coquille calf club, placed seventh in
the judging contest
Over twenty
teams competed and the Coos county
teams made a total «core of 1905
points.
Members of the camp cookery club
in the Roy district gave a demonstra
tion in packing an overnight kit at
the state fair. Although the definite
placing of this team had not been an
nounced Wednesday it made a very
creditable showing, according to
County Agent George Jenkins.
In addition to the honors won by
the club members through participa
!
tion in judging and demonstration
contest, livestock taken to the fair
!
by these boys from Coos county did
its share of winning. Ten head of ,
registered Duroc Jersey hogs were
entered*15 competition by the Cadman i
Brothers.
. These hogs are the offspring of ,
stock which these boys secured from
A. E. Doerflor, of Silverton, who is
‘
one of the prominent breeders of the
'
state. On this lot of hog« a group of
four won first place in the breeding
litter class. Both of these classes are
in Division I in 4-H club work. One
of the bogs shown singly as’a junior
boar won third place in open class
competition. The other animal, a
junior sow, had not been shown when
the group returned from Salem.
Th,«
wrilw
heifers and one grade Herford calf
completed the livestock exhibit from
Coos county. Teddy Cadman won
second place on one of the Holstein
heifers and in open class the three
heifers won fifth, sixth and seventh
respectively. One of those Holstein
heifers was won by Signey Cadman
at the state fair last year.
The Club delegation left Coos coun
ty for the state fair last Sunday, ac
companied by Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Cad
man and Mr. Jenkins, where living
quarters and meals were provided for
441 club members entered in these
contests by the state fair board.
