In the past years Jitney F air has been one of the big events of our Spring semester. This year, due to Stockmants Week, Picnic Day, and numerous other activities, it was decided to hold it in the Fall. The plan heretofore was to have each organization or group put on an individual show in a separate room, charging a separate admission. This plan worked all right, but the overhead for lumber, carpenters, lights, etc., was so high that the profits were cut down materially. As Jitney Fair is mainly a money making proposition to replenish the athletic fund, a new scheme was devised this year. It exceeded all expectations in its success. Instead of the individual shows, as in the past, all were combined as a ttVodvil? The stage in the auditorium was utilized for this purpose, and with the help of an excellent stage crew, everything went very well. As usual, the dance was held in the auditorium after the ttVodvilf, The result of this plan was easily realized after a statement had been drawn up. The attendance was about the same, but the profits were easily five times as great. The credit for the success of this plan is due mainly to Harold Woolsey, who was in charge of the ttVodviltl, and to the men who put on the stunts. Prizes were given out for the best stunt, and for the best actors and actresses. The consensus of opinion was that the same plan should be followed in future years, to make Jitney Fair less work on the part of the actors, and more of a success in a financial way. gm State Fair Stock Judging The general livestock advanced judging class started their work in the Fall with a contest held at the California State Fair, Sacramento, Saturday, September 1, 1923. This was a preliminary to the final contest at Portland. Out of twenty contestants, William iR. Hosselkus was high man tCalifornia Cultivator cupl , with 64-2 points out of a possible 750, winning first in beef cattle and swine and third .in horses. A. Greaser was second high man, winning third in dairy cattle and swine with H. M. Wilber third, winning first in sheep. R. F. Brace, second in sheep, was fourth, and R. Peacock fifth. t In the morning two classes each of horses, beef cattle, dairy cattle, swine, and sheep were placed, reasons being given on one class of each in the afternoon. The winnings were as follows: Horseselst, H. H. Peters; 2nd, Agnes OlNeil; 3rd Wm. B. Hosselkus. Beef Cattlealst, Wm. B. Hosselkus; 2nd, F. L. Montmorency; 3rd, W. Noles. Dairy Cattle-lst, R.

TURNBOVV H. S. GIDDINGS L. R. JOHNSON The Dairy Products Judging Team The Dairy Products Judging Contest held on November 3, 1924, at the Portland Pacific International Livestock Exposition was one of keen competition and sweeping success for the Aggies. For four years California has been sending judging teams to Portland and each trip our men have come home with a big share of the honors. They were three times high team and once second high team. This year, true to the tradition, they came home as high team again, bringing most of the prizes with them. On the California team were R. W. Garrett, J. J. McNamara, L. R. J ohnson, and H. S. Giddings. Coach Professor G. D. Turnbow was unable to accompany the men to Portland, Assistant Coach Professor L. A. Raffetto taking his place. The Aggies won high team at the contest being high in butter and Cheese and third high team in milk. Individuals winning honors were J. J. McNamara, being high man of the contest, and high in butter and cheese; L. R. Johnson was third in milk being fifth high man. R. W. Garrett placed well up in all products thus enabling the team to win as a whole. This is the third year our team has won the silver cheese cup, donated by the Marshall Dairy Laboratories, to be given to the high team in cheese first winning it three times, so it will now be ours to keep. The other teams placed as follows: University of Idaho, second; University of XVashington, third; Oregon Aggies, fourth, and University of Utah, last. The trip was one of great value to the members of the team, and after the contest several excursions were taken around Portland and over the Columbia River Highway, including a trip through Swift th Companyis stock yards and packing house and several milk plants. t47l
