188 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART III. 



While we were showing our Clydesdales, Mr. George Cluett, of Wil- 

 liamstown, Massachusetts, presented to Iowa State College, the great 

 mare, Fairholme Ruth. This mare was grand champion at the 1918 In- 

 ternational. 



Winnings On Ioiva State College Horses 



We exhibited only a few horses at the International and all that we 

 exhibited were yearlings and foals bred and developed by Iowa State 

 College. All of the yearlings won prizes in very stiff competition. 



Winnings On Iowa State College Steers 

 Our college steers did not make as good a showing as they have many 

 years in the past. However, the competition was exceedingly keen and 

 we are striving to have a much better lineup for next year's exposition. 

 We won first in the senior yearling grade Hereford class on Aledo. Had 

 the champion grade steer sired by a pure-bred Hereford sire. Black 

 Don, pure-bred senior yearling Angus steer, won first prize in the 

 show for carcass steers on foot and second on the block. Black Knight 

 was second of the junior yearling steers on foot, while Pan won fourth 

 on the block. ' Dauntless, our pure-bred senior yearling Hereford steer, 

 won fourth in the strongest class of Hereford steers ever shown at the 

 International. Our grade Hereford herd of three steers won first prize. 



Miclivest Intercollegiate Poultry Judging Contest 

 In the Students' Poultry Judging Contest held at the Chicago Coliseum 

 Poultry Show, the Iowa State College team won first, with a margin of 

 135 points. The judging contest is divided into two parts, judging for 

 exhibition and judging for egg production. C. A. Shellabarger, of Ames, 

 tied for first place in exhibition judging and L. C. Deal, of Ames, was 

 high man in production judging. Iowa State won the rotating large silver 

 cup that is awarded to the sweepstakes team, permanent possession to be 

 given to the institution winning it three times; first exhibition team, sil- 

 ver cup, permanent property; first production team, silver cup, permanent 

 property, and a permanent cup for the sweepstakes team. This poultry 

 judging team was composed of students classified in the collegiate courses, 

 thus, was an entirely different team from the one that carried off sweep- 

 stake honors in the Noncollegiate Poultry Judging Contest held at the 

 American Royal two weeks earlier. 



Four of the men, composing our International Students' Judging Team, 

 were also members of the judging team winning first honors at the Na- 

 tional Swine Show contest held early in October, thus, Iowa State 

 College has had a very successful season in the judging contest work, 

 our team at the National Dairy Show having ranked third in com- 

 petition with nineteen other teams. 



Boys? and Girls' Cluo Work 



In the boys' and girls' club work, Iowa made an outstanding record. 

 The girls' canning demonstration team won first, which carries a trip 

 to France for the team and its instructor, where canning demonstra- 

 tions will be given by the team during the coming summer. 



In the baby beef club work, Iowa won first and grand champion on 

 a steer that was exhibited in the baby beef show at the Iowa State
