Fall Poultry Exhibitions s $ A The followinf article by our PonV ) try Editor, Q. L. Wood, of Port- $ land, U of interwt t ewj poultry 4 dim ia tba Northrat. Whether or 4) not 70a are- breading birds ia ax- $ hibiUuQ, lead it. By G. L. Wood, PonKry Editor. MnF.RSi is not a well settled see- I Uon on the coast in which it will not be possible to see from mo to three Doultry shows at the fall fairs. These will differ some what in qualtiy. and the best birds will nearly always be found at the larger shows, although the induce ments at the larger shows are not always better4 than at the smaller nne.q. The cash premiums at all the shows are too small. The be lief seems to prevail among fair sec retaries that the Doultrymen's de- lire to show their stock is sufficient to overcome the small financial henefita offered Fair organizations refuse to be lieve that their course is not the proper one, even in the face of the fact, that many " coast shows are practically boycotted by any breed ers of quality, and for no omer rea son than that the arrangements for the poultry department are insum- ftlenf. The proportion of poultry breed-1 era visiting the fairs is increasing each year, if we are to believe the reports turned in from every city and village, where nearly everyone has at least one pen of birds, and more it their yards will permit. And the man who raises poultry today is ten times more curious as to raising and breeding his stock than the average breeder in the past has ever been. There is so much data in the poultry papers, so many experiments and improvements of modern times have increased the opportunities in the poultry business, that the aver age breeder is anxious to get au the information he can assimilate. He finds, just how much improve ment there has. been in the breeding of the stock itself at tha poultry ehihits. He Koes there because he wants to see the best birds that are vri if the awards have been in sufficient to draw out tha good hirrts. and if the exhibit is small, as Is generally the ease, possibly his hroed will not be on display at all. in a measure then the poultry dis play has been a failure in that it just failed to do for the observer what it should , have done. Only good, substantial premiums will draw its good breeders and keep them and make the poultry exhibits worth while. California is coming to the front in this regard and could be pointed to as a good example. In many of their local fairs the pre miums exceed those of our own state fairs, and the number of cups and specials offered would do credit to many of our winter shows. These shows coop large entries and draw the best birds from every sec tion of the state, and such exhibits will draw patronage for miles In , every direction. Where exhibitors feel that their local awards are low, they should organize, meet thir ad hoards with a bold front and press their claims. These protests registered with sound argument and persistence will be given substantial consideration raise his birds bo well that they can be exhibited and get away with the ribbons in the beet of company U necessary. If he never exhibits a single bird, he wants to know that ha has cot as good stock as is bred. He has plenty of range, sufficient honsine capacity and an abundance of feed as a rule, and there la every advantage in his favor for producing the best poultry possible. This fact is proven by the records of men who have Doultry of quality to sell. Nine- tenths of the sales are to farmers, and upon them as much as anyone denend3 the futnre of thoroughbred nonltrv from the broadest stand point That every farmer intends to raise good stock to be sold at fancy prices is not true, nevertheless, his better stock will always comman4 more money, and if he has bred with care, there will be buyers will ing to pay him good prices for his best birds.

BP" EUt The Farmer as an Exihlbitor. The farmer as an exhibitor is al most a thing of the future, but not a very distant one by any means. , From personal experience at fall fairs and learning at first hand Just what the farmer and his wife are thinking and planning along the poultry line, we are convinced that they will be a strong factor in fu tn exhibitions. The fanner has left the mongrel stage of poultry raising almost entirely. Nearly flock on the farm Is pure bred. Despite the frenzied efforts of some scholarly agitators the farmer will be content to stay by his pure bred stock, and improve it in every way possible. The average farmer is not inter ested in raising exhibition stock for exhibition qualities alone. It is a question of every day dollars and moU with him. Ha almnlv want to POULTRY SHOW DATES.
