Umatilla county entrants in the 22nd annual Pacific International Livestock Exposition now being held in Portland have been awarded sev eral premiums. The Exposition, which is featured by the afternoon agricultural displays and by the evening rodeos, is reported to be the best held in years, due to increased intere: t icing shown in its depart- meats. Great Interest is being shown in the dairy stock which represents the best that this part of the world can produce. Revival of draft horses as a main part of the horse show has also caused much comment. It is the purpose of the agriculturists to build up the quality of draft stock now on average farms, to meet the quality of horses at the show. Dur ing more prosperous times farmers have allowed their stock to run down when they could turn to mech anical power; now much interest is being shown in horses as a farm nec essity and breeders of fine stock have been unable to meet the de mand. The Umatilla livestock judging team, which was composed of Fred Reeves, Glen Pierson, and Clement Stockard, tied the Tillamook team for 11th place in a group of forty- four teams representing five states and British Columbia.
