STOCK SHOW
A. & M. College Sent Class in Stock
Judging and Also Fine Stock Ex
hibit—R. S. Miller Wins
First Prize.
The Aniaml Husbandry Department
of A. & M. had about the best exhibit,
this year, at the National Feeders and
Breeders’ Show that it ever had. Twen
ty or more students attended the
show, between March 18 and 23, either
in the capacity of a judging class or
for the purpose of learning more about
stock. Some of the men at the head
of the A. IT. department took a lively
interest in the big exposition, and John
C. Burns acted as official judge of
sheep.
The students who attended the fat
stock show were J. A. Scofield, R. S.
Miller, R. E. Caldwell, W. E. Crockett,
J. L. Culberson, E. P. Menke, W. S.
Tolbert, E. O. Staben, R. J. Anderson,
R. W. Cox, W. A. Massey, C. M.
Cocanougher, A. F. Reese, R. L. Nixon,
J. A. Lutrich, J. C. Jensen, W. W. Card-
well, R. R. Rosa, R. V. Simon and
Thaxton.
Those who represented the college
in the intercollegiate students’ live
stock judging contest held in connec
tion with the show were selected from
the Junior class in animal husbandry,
which is composed of thirty-three
members. The judging team was made
up of five Juniors who -were seletced
by individual competitive work, the
competition having narrowed down to
seven students, namely, J. A. Scofield
of Hillsboro, R. S. Miller of San Saba,
R. E. Caldwell of Bryan, W. E. Crock
ett of Prosper, J. L. Culberson of Wax-
ahachie, E. P. Menke of Hempstead
and W. S. Tolbert of Miami, the first
five having been chosen for the team.
Prof. G. S. Templeton, instructor in
animal husbandry, did the coaching of
these men for the team. The contest
took place on Monday, March 18, and
was participated in by teams from
Oklahoma A. & M. College, Jonesboro
(Ark.) Agricultural School and A. &
M. of Texas. Oklahoma won first plaoi
in the tryout for whole teams, but R.
S. Miller, of w'hom we are proud, made
the highest individual score of the
contest, thereby winning prize of $50.
This is the first time as many as three
teams have taken part in the contest
and there is promise of considerable
interest and enthusiasm. In the future
there will very likely be several other
Southwestern institutions represented.
Classes of horses, cattle, sheep and
swine were judged. A handsome silver
trophy cup offered by Swift & Co. went
to the team making the highest aver
age score in judging all classes, and
in addition there was $100 in cash
prizes for individuals, according to the
average score in judging all classes,
the first prize being $50, the second
$25, the third $15 and the fourth $10.
