SHEEP DEPARTMENT. 



Mr. President and Members of the Executive Committee: 



Gentlemen : As superintendent of sheep at your splendid state fair 

 of 1907, I beg to submit the following report: 



If permissible from one not a member of your honorable board, I 

 would suggest that owing to the large number of the exhibits in this 

 department and knowing of no reason why in years to come there 

 will be any great falling off in entries in this department so that you 

 will not be confronted with empty pens, I can see no harm in making 

 a reasonable charge above your now merely nominal pen rental for sheep 

 that are brought out for sale rather than as show sheep. If practical, 

 would have pens assigned in order of receipt of entries. 



Wishing to thank you all, exhibitors as well, and the Business Com- 

 mittee especially for the many kindnesses shown, all of which is re- 

 spectfullv submitted, 



W. E. BOYDEN, 



Superintendent.
