Mr. Weaver further recommended that in both the county and indi-

 hibitors from these districts be required to compete against each other 

 the same as they do for field corn. 



Mr. Escher moved the recommendations of Mr. Weaver be approved. 

 Seconded by Mr. Pike. Motion carried. 



Mr. Weaver moved that in the culinary department $39.00 be added to 

 the bread classification and that the wartime classification for bread, 

 cakes, cookies, etc., amounting to $142.00, dried vegetables for $12.00 and 

 dried fruit for $12.50 be eliminated this year. 



Mr. Escher moved the recommendations made by Mr. Weaver be ap- 

 proved. Seconded by Mr. Reeves and carried. 



Mr. Corey suggested that where necessary canned goods be opened for 

 judging and that arrangements be made with the domestic science de- 

 partment at Ames to have them reprocessed and resealed immediately 

 after judging so there would be no loss sustained by the exhibitor. Mr, 

 Weaver moved the secretary work out a plan for carrying out this idea. 

 Seconded by Mr. Curtiss and motion prevailed. 



Mr. Sheldon, superintendent of the admissions department, asked that 

 the executive committee provide two exits at the Grand avenue entrance, 

 one on the north side and one on the south side of the vehicle entrance. 



Mr. Weaver moved the executive committee be directed to carry out 

 this recommendation. Seconded by Mr. Pike and motion carried. 



Mr. Escher, superintendent of the sheep department, recommended 

 thit inasmuch as the parties who have been providing premiums for the 

 wool exhibit and sheep shearing contest did not care to continue the 

 offer, the board offer $100.00 for these two classes and that an additional 

 premium of $30.00 be offered for trimming and blocking sheep for the 

 show ring. 



Mr. Escher also recommended that the classification for goats be re- 

 vised by eliminating all bucks over six months of age and adding $100.00 

 for flock or premier exhibitor in the goat classes. 



Mr. Curtin moved the recommendations of Mr. Escher be approved. 

 Seconded by Mr. Sheldon and carried. 



Mr. Pike, superintendent of the cattle department, made the following 

 recommendations : 



That inasmuch as the Shorthorn Association offered dollar for dollar this 

 year in the breeding and fat cattle classed, the board should offer $2,600 

 for Shorthorns in open competition, $400 for Iowa Shorthorns and $250 for 

 fat Shorthorns. This would call for an increase of $100 on Shorthorns.
