The Little International is a live- jonal Livestock ote. The show, |stock show that the students of/ the Agricultural college put on entirely by themselves, and which is modeled after the International Livesteck show at Chicago. The purpose of it is chiefly accustom students to showing animals in the right manher, as well as fitting them for the. show ring. They are given acertain number of days in which to fit their individ- ual animals for the show. The j ing of the animals is done on the basis of the improvement in appear- ance and condition from the time over by the students. Every freshman in the school of agriculture is required to show. An- other feature which gives promise of a bigger show than ever before is that the contest is open to students from many course who desire to take part. The pavilion where the show takes place has been enlarged ahd provides more room for the showing rings and for the audience as well. Club Sponsors Show The Saddle and Sirloin club, which an organization of students who ke the agricultural course and who are interested in furthering agricul- ural causes, is sponsoring the show and the club president, Clyde Chal- ley, Lisbon, N.

This year the show comes opportune time for the li be piveet in the “hall of- tame.” Mr. Crabbe is prominent as # breeder of Jerseys in North Dakota and presi- dent of the North Dakota Livestock association. Other Attractions Other attractions at the Agricul- tural college during this same week are the meeting of the poultrymen, hoth of interest to any agricultural man who plans on attending the show. There will be anywhere from 125 to 150 animals exhibited at this year’s | contest, according to those in charge of the show. If tradition is to be upheld the prize string of Belgian horses will be shown under the su- pervision of Joe Pearson, the man- ager of the horse barns. More prizes will be offered in each division than have ever been offered before. This will be an incentive for keen competition among contest- ants. The divisions of livestock which will be shown are as follows: Horses, sheep, hogs, dairy cattle, beef cattle and poultry.
