PROCEEDINGS STATE AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION 90 



Boys and Girls Show Fine Purebred Pigs 



The pig club tent or rather its contents of prize porkers attracted gen- 

 eral interest among swine growers and breeders at the Iowa State Fair 

 and it was full of young breeders. A large tent was erected next to the 

 sale ring building to accommodate some 416 choice club pigs. Owing to 

 the heavy rain during the week, the ground became very muddy and pigs 

 had to be washed whenever shown, Iowa boys and girls are putting on a 

 fine pig club show at the Iowa State Fair. 



The Iowa pig club feature probably outclassed any other state pig club 

 show in number and possibly in quality. Mr. J. E. Downing, secretary of 

 the Berkshire Association, made the statement that Iowa pig club boys 

 and girls had put over the biggest show ever seen at any state fair 

 thus far.
