Ringgold county exhibitors of livestock in open classes at the Iowa State Fair were awarded highest honors last week. In the Spotted Poland China swine female casses, a mature sow shown by J. W. TRIGGS & Sons of Mount Ayr was judged senior and grand champion. Other awards by the TRIGGSES include a second with age sow, fourth with yearling boar, second will fall boar, fourth with spring boar, firs and second with aged sows, second with yearling sow and second with fall sow.

Allan TRIGGS, son of Mr. and Mrs. Merritt TRIGGS, evidently is patterning his life after his father and grandfather, since he came home with his share of honors, after exhibiting first and second place Hampshires and the reserve champion.

Doyle WEEDA, in the state fair show ring for the first time, showed the champion Hampshire ewe and first place aged ram.

For the fifth time in 12 years of competition, the Ringgold county 4-H crops identification and judging team has returned from the Iowa State Fair as a champion. In the contest held Saturday in Des Moines, the team, composed of Arthur ALLEN and Bruce HENDERSON of Mount Ayr and Raymond SHIELDS and Craig RIGGS, alternate, of Tingley, scored 4,087 points of a possible 4,5000, to edge the Appanoose county team with 4,065. Of the 76 4-H members entered in the judging competition, ALLEN scored 1,419 of a possible 1,500 points to cop individual honors. SHIELDS and HENDRSON placed fifth and 13th, respectively.
