Many ex- hibits will come from Morton county and the North branch. Fine Show Rooms The show will be held in the fine basement of the Northwest hotel. which will make an ideal show room. The doors will open to the public on Wednesday, January 9, at 8 a. m., and R SLOPE RY SHOW STATE WITNESSED JAN. 9TH will continue for three days. evenings until 10 o'clock. The state meeting of the American Barred Rock. Club will also be held on these dates, and leading Barred Rock breeders of the state will be here. : The county commissioners of Mer- cer county have taken quite an in- terest in the Missouri Slope show and have appropriated $50.00 to be given in prizes for best exhibits of poultry; $25.00 for corn and $25.00 for alfalfa. This will bring a fine exhibit from Stanton and vicinity. Some of the best foultry at the last show was from Mercer county, birds scoring 94 and 95 points being among them. The north branch of the Northern Pacific brings. hundreds; of birds to this show. Mandan and Morton county will be well represented this year, both with corn and poultry exhibits. A number of the merchants and business men have offered liberal prizes and other- wise displayed interest in the big winter show. Morton county has for years been one of the leading coun- ties of the state in the production of poultry. The fair at Mandan has had as high as 600 birds in‘the poultry department, and the quality has ad- vanced each year. Barney Ford is one of the leading poultrymen of the Slope, and resides in Mandan. Dickinson Will Be Represented Dickinson and Stark county will again take a prominent part in .the big Slope show.
