written several score cards on judging poultry I>oth from
the show standpoint and for utility. Good premiums are
offered both on the livestock and the poultry but thej
ribbons and mone.v won will have little value compared 1
to that of what tme can learn by following these men i
closely in their judging. Mr. John R. Edmonds who will |
judge the agricultural products has been a judge for the i
past two years nr the Dallas Start Fair, which is snf-
ficient to recommend him as 1

the Exhibits of Textiles and the Suttnary Departments

LAST TUESDAY
The fair here last year was one of the best held in
much better judge of livestock; Texas and this one can be made just as good and do nioiv
a more definite idea of what he1 to advertise us than any other year’s fair.
This year the fair grounds is double the size of last
year, and a race track has ben added and the grandstand
doubled in size. The program promises to lie better in
the amusement line, and there will be four days instead
of three as was the case last fall.
Children under fourteen years of age will be admit-
ted free the first day. Let all children be* here on that
day so you can enjoy children’s day as it should l>e
enjoyed.
As for the amusements we refer you to the program
in this issue and you may judge for yourself as to
whether it will be entertaining. >
