ELEVENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART XII 839 



a plainly apparent fact. A careful study of awards serves to show that 

 several of last year's winners were, unlike Mr. Jeffries, able to "come 

 back" in rare good form, though some of the best things in the show 

 stepped into a ring for the first time. Profs. Kennedy and Kildee are to be 

 commended for the excellent satisfaction afforded breeders by their work. 



Baxter & Comer were heavy winners, taking first in the aged boar 

 class on Crimson Wonder 3d, and fifth in same class on McNeal's Wonder; 

 fourth in junior yearling, on Kornel of Kornel; third in junior boar class 

 on C. & B.'s Colonel 2. They won second on Lady Coral, as junior yearling 

 sow, but only fourth on Clara II as senior yearling. They also won 

 first on produce of sow, young herd, young herd bred by exhibitor, and 

 aged herd. Their Crimson's Model took the junior sow championship. 



Waltmeyer Bros, were successful exhibitors, taking first place by Golden 

 Queen III as aged sow, and the grand championship; first by Model Lady, 

 senior yearling; first by Golden Queen VI as junior yearling sow, fourth 

 in senior sow pig class and second in junior sow pig; first in aged herd 

 bred by exhibitor; second in aged herd. Their Golden Queen III took 

 senior sow championship. 



The junior champion boar was Colonel Tippy, owned by Ira Jackson. 

 Mr. Jackson's Tippy Orion won first as senior yearling boar, and Colonel 

 Tippy took first as senior boar pig. He secured second on produce of 

 sow and second on aged herd bred by exhibitor.

POLAXD-CHIXAS. 



The Poland-China classes were well filled with representatives of the 

 medium type hog, and as usual t<he judge inclined toward placing the 

 ribbons on "Hot-Blood" stuff. Big type Poland breeders, such as make 

 the swine show at Lincoln, had little part in the 1910 Iowa show, though 

 such breeders as exhibited big type animals had the best sales on the 

 grounds'. It is to be hoped that the near future will witness a breaking 

 away from the old guard, who dominate judging of Polands at Des Moines, 

 to the extent that the great army of breeders, who now breed big type, 

 useful Polands in Iowa may receive some show ring recognition of the 

 vast service they have done the breed. The signs are good that a shake-up 

 is emminent — may the fates be kind. 



J. E. Meharry had a very successful Poland-China herd, winning first
