The fortjvtwo chicken* owned by

county won 41 ribbon* at the lint
national 4-H poultry shotr at the
Madison Square ,parden Poultry
Show in New York, January 16 to
20th.
"It was practically a clean sweep
for the birds we entered," says C.
F. Parrish, poultry extension spe
cialist at 8tate College, who car
ried the birds to the show for the
dub members. "We were awarded
37 blue ribbons, three red ribbons
and one third place by the Judges.
Three of the blue ribbons and the
third ribbon were won In the open
classes against all competition
while the remaining ribbons were
won in the dub show. Only three
breeds were entered though sev
eral varieties of these three were
selected and exhibited. I was sur
prised and gratified at the excel
lent results."
Dean I. O. Schaub said that this
was the most complete winning
ever made at a national show of
birds grown in North Carolina. For
yean, birds grown by Tarheel dub
boys and girls have been entered
in the Garden show by the late Al
len G. Oliver and a number of high
places have been won but such a
high percentage of wins out of the
bird exhibition was never made be
fore. It shows, says the Dean, that
the young people on the farms In
North Carolina are as good breed
en and handlen of poultry as can
be found in the ftatlon.
The birds entered this year were
of the Wyandotte, Plymouth Rock
and Leghorn breeds. All of them
came from Catawba county and J.
