Besides giving southerners the most
liberal poultry educational advantages
they had ever before enjoyed, the first
anniial show of the Southern Interna
tional Poultry Associatim left In the
south up wal’d of $70,000 worth of poul
try. ^
The birds which went to make up
this grand total of sales, made during
the week the big show rah, ranged in
price from $2,000 paid by Asa G. Cand
ler, Jr., for an C^lngton cock down
to $50 paid for less valuable birds.
Practically without exception, how
ever, the birds were bohght ^ breied
ers and proprietors of fancy poultry
farms, and it is believed that there
can be no question but that their in
troduction into southern poultry farms
will mean even higher grade birds than
this section has hitherto known.
Claes of Southern Birds.
Fanciers from all over the country
who were in attendance at the show
expressed the greatest surprise at the
class shown by southern birds, but
many of them expressed the oplnlxi
that the crossing of the older and
purer bred birds of the north and east
with the hardier, better developed
birds of the south would make of the
cross birds better than any this coun
try has ever seen. And, judging by
the number of high-priced birds soWi
during the show, southern fanciers not
only think as do their northern and
eastern competitors, but have gone out
with a determination of producing bet
ter birds than the western hemis
phere has ever before seeni.
Besides the Orpington cock for
which he paid $2,000, Asa G. Oandler,
Jr., boua^it a pen of Black Orping
tons, pa^ng $1,200 for the five birds
and followed this with the purchase of
a pen of five white Orpingtons for
whi(^ he paid $200 each.
J. J. Wingert, proprietor of the Wiii'
gert duck farm at Crawfo^ville, Ind
made sales aggregating more than any
other exhibitor wUh the possible ex
cation of the WIUiaiB Cook* & Son’s
farm, frwn which the Calbt^er purchas
es were made. Mr. Wingefi brought
to the show upward of sixty-fire In
dian Runner ducks, many of t|iem
prise winners in other noted shows in
the country, and before the show had
run more than three days stated that
he had s(^d practically evierything he
brought with him that he would sell.
