OUR BOYS WIN AT GREENFIELD 



Win 15 of the 18 Prizes Offered 



About 40 Hampshire County boys went 

 to the Franklin County Fair September 

 15 to enter the judging contests in Dairy, 

 Poultry, Vegetables, Potatoes and corn. 

 There were 18 prizes offered in the five 

 classes of which our boys carried home 

 15 for a total of $60. The 15 prizes 

 were the first, second and third places 

 in all five classes, the Franklin County 

 boys winning only fourth and fifth in- 

 'dividual prizes in Livestock judging and 

 high team score on the same class. 

 Roger West of Hadley was the outstand- 

 ing winner, placing first in Livestock, 

 second in corn, second in Potatoes, third 

 in Vegetables and eleventh in Poultry. 



CLUB MEMBERS AT 



EASTERN STATES 



Dairy Members Win Over $700. 

 Poultry Members Win $86. 



The week of September 18-25 is one 

 that will not be forgotten soon by 16 

 dairy club members from Hampshire 

 County who exhibited 28 dairy animals 

 at the Eastern States Exposition. On 

 these animals they won a total of a little 

 over $700. It is almost hard to believe 

 that so much was taken home until the 

 different amounts are added up. 



Alice and Rachel Randall of Belcher- 

 town were the outstanding winners, each 

 having four animals on exhibition that 

 won them a total of about $200. 



In addition to winning all those prizes 

 the club members had the pleasure of 

 staying at the Exposition free of charge 

 for the week and seeing everything on 

 the grounds. This in itself is something 

 that will not be forgotten for many a day. 



Nor were the dairy members the only 

 ones to take home honors and cash as 

 27 poultry members had about 175 birds 

 on exhibition that won prizes amounting 

 to $86.25. Their prizes were as follows: 

 17 firsts, 9 seconds, 9 third, 11 fourths, 

 7 fifths and 5 sixths or a total of 58 

 prizes in all. 



Roger West of Hadley was the largest 

 winner taking 4 firsts, 1 second, 2 thirds, 



2 fourths, 3 fifths and 2 sixths. 



The poultry members had the privilege 

 of coming to the Exposition with all ex- 

 penses paid and staying over Wednesday 

 night and all day Thursday. About 15 

 boys took advantage of this opportunity 

 to see the fair and certainly enjoyed 

 themselves during the time they were 

 there.
