1936 Mount Pulaski
4-H Livestock Show
1936 Mount Pulaski 4-H Livestock Show - Sept. 15, 16, 17, 1936 Mount Pulaski as
reported in H. J. Wible’s Mount Pulaski Times-News:
17 Sept., 1936 4-H Livestock Show Held
Here (Mount Pulaski) One of Finest
Dripping skies and a chilly temperature which
greeted the opening day activities of the Logan
County 4-H Show, here, yesterday, failing to
halt the showing of one of the finest arrays of
livestock this young and healthy organization
of young farm lads has ever produced in the
county. The long parade of livestock began
arriving Tuesday evening and the show started
off in fine shape.
The list of entries included 30 beef cattle, 10
sheep, 14 colts, 9 dairy cattle, 175 pigs and
175 head of poultry which taxed the capacity
of the three mammoth tents in which they
were housed.
The setting for the club show is a very
attractive one with three large tents stretching
over an acre of almost a block and a half on
the east side of the square. The cattle and colts
are on display in the tent on the street just off
the square to the north, the hogs are housed in
the next one south with the sheep and poultry
in the adjoining tent.
The Times-News published a daily newspaper
during the three-day show. Complete accounts
of the previous day’s winners, pictures and
other activities were given the public each day.
18 Sept., 1936 4-H Show Here Great
Success As County Show
The most successful 4-H Club county show
to be held in Logan County came to a close
yesterday afternoon when the young exhibitors
were given a release on their exhibits,
permitting them to return home after a
pleasant three days, here. The heavy entry list
and the keen competition was so much greater
than in years that the future of this youthful
and growing organization is one of the bright
spots in the farming life of the county.
Farm advisor, N. H. Anderson, who has been
on the job every day as well as many previous,
getting ready for the show was especially
enthusiastic over the class of animals the 4-H
Club members displayed, ranking as he stated
above any he has seen this year and claiming
it to be the best in the state.
