SOUTH SIDE
LOOK FORWARD TO
ANNUALHOCrSHOW
Arrangements for the National
Swine Exposition Rapidly
Being Perfected; Many rA
New Features.
Chicago Exemption Board
Figures Show Good Progress
Chicago, Aug. fS. Reports of forty-seven
' of the eighty-six draft ex
emption boards in Chicago showed
that 8,994 registrants had been ex
amined up to today, of whom 6,558
were regarded as physically fit. In
the forty-seven districts 4,507 regis
trants nave1 made exemption claims.
Arrangements for the second an
nual -Vational Swine show; to he
held in the new horse and mule ban?!
at the stock yards, are rapidly being
perfected. The premium list offering
over $15,000 in cash and trophies is
going to the printer, and over 10.000
of the lists will be mailed to inter
ested hog raisers throughout the
United States.
Exceptional interest is being mani
fested by a great number of thor
oughbred hog raisers who have de
cidedly good herds, but who did -.not
exhibit at the National Swine, show
last year. Early reports indicate the
second show will far surpass last
year's show in both numbers shown
and in quality. ' v
It was a distinctive feature of the
1916 show that never before was so
great an amount of hog value ever
gotten together under one roof, and
from present prospect, the 1917 Na
tional Swine show bids, fair to dis
tance the former show in this respect.
Breeders Are Enthusiastic.
Additional interest in the show is
being shown by hog raisers through
out the country, due to their. desire
to produce the greatest amount of
pork per animal possible to meet the
greatly increased demand, account of
war conditions.'- Farmers, who
through experience having learned
that the quality blood in hogs lias
the tendency toward producing a
larger marketable animaf in less time
than the ordinary every day stock,
will be in attendance at the swiue
show in increased numbers, to secure
quauiy nog, as wen as aaoing new
stock to their established herds.
A new feature will be added to the
1917 show in the way of a hog judg
ing contest between various state
agricultural college student teams in
the corn 'e't. Already six "colleges
have signified their intention of en
tering the contest. Cash prizes will
i be offered. The prize fund is being
, subscribed by the various breed and
i agricultural papers throughout the
i country.
In order to accommodate the peo
ple, of Omaha who are unable to at
tend the show during the day. a num-
, ber of evening shows will be held, for
j which some added attractions are be-
ing arranged.
