Our exhibit consisted of ten specimen jars containing tuberculous le- 

 sions in various organs obtained from dairy cattle condemned under our 

 tuberculosis control work ; specimens of lesions occurring in hemorrhagic 

 septicemia of hogs and cattle and a wall map giving the various animal dis- 

 eases in the United States and the amount of loss occasioned by them; the 

 animal diseases in the Territory and their reduction due to quarantine and 

 other preventive measures taken by this depart.nent. 



The exhibit was small and probably of j.articular inti-rest only to stock 

 and dairy men and those directly interested in the eradication of infectious 

 diseases of animals. 



I visited all departments and saw the exhibits, but naturally the live 

 stock and agriculture sections were of greater interest to me than the 

 others. 



The exhibit of home grown and milled stock feed was jiarticularly in- 

 teresting. 



There were fe^ds for dairy and beef animals, pigs, chickens, horses and 

 mules, practically all the ingredients of which were home products. 



Tt certainly looks as though Hawaii could be self-supporting as far as 

 the live-stock industry goes, if it became necessary. 



In the live-stock division the beef breeds were represented by Herefords 

 and Angus, the dairy breeds by the Holstein and Ayreshire and Jersey. 



The Hereford exhibit Avas greatly strengthened this year by a large 

 and select entry from the Parker Ranch. Hawaii. 



The dairy classes were strongest in Holstein and Ayreshire cattle and 

 showed some individuals of great merit. 



The boys' and girls' pig club indicated that Maui is trying to encour- 

 age a greater interest in the breeding and raising of more and bstter live 

 stock among its youngsters. 



Entries in the various horse classes were rather small, Init showed good 

 quality. The classes for draft brood mares and foals demonstrated that 

 we can raise as good drafters here as they can anywhere, given the proper 

 foundation stock and intelligence in care and feeding. 



One of the greatest surprises T experienced was in the ]K)ultry show. 

 The entries were large, varied and of extremely good quality. I had no idea 

 we had such a variety of domesticated fowl in the Territory. 



The management of the live-stock department could hardly be im- 

 proved upon. Judging was conducted smoothly, without interruption or de- 

 lay, and in a manner satisfactory to audience and exhibitors alike. 



Indeed, the entire fair showed that the men responsibl':' for the various 

 departments worked hard to make it a great success, and I think they suc- 

 ceeded. Respectfully submitted, 



L. E. CASE, 

 Assistant Territorial Veterinarian.
