Poultry Association Details at Fair Move
W C Hoodler outlines new Poultry Department rules for the coming fair. Exhibitors must buy a $1 fair association ticket granting free admission and entry rights. tickets yield a one third commission to fund new exhibition coops. Entries must be in trios or pens, with specific male female ratios, though singles are allowed for non-competitive display. A judge, Chas R Dalbey of Washington D C, was hired to ensure fairness by merit, with prizes mainly for second through fourth places and a prominent blue ribbon for the top entry. The Poultry Dept gains extensive improvements including new coops, a remodeled building, incubator additions, and planned hatches during the fair, while the turkey section will be notably larger than prior poultry displays.
