p0rtance of the Chicken Crop.

doors this evening, after weeks good business.
"It is not expected" said Assistant Secretary
Goodrich, last night ito make profit from
these exhibitions. All we care to do is to meet
expenses; and had this weather been better it is
possible we would have done this with $500 or
$500 to spare. However, there is no cause to
complain, for the exhibits attendance and other
results Of the show. have been sufficient to en-
courage as to repeat the enterprise next year.
That question has not been settled but the event
il likely to occur"
1t is not generally known that the breeders OF
fnepoultry claim they have an industry that ex-
cseds in value Of products annually the wheat
crop of the United States. "And the industry
is increasing" remarked one Of the
cessful exhibitors. During December, January
and February, the number of poultry shows
held and to be held is thirtytwo The one here
is a Shelby county enterprise That county
exceeds all others in the State for its fine fowls,
and its people have great pride IN the fact that
the Shelby exhibits OF Wyandottes, Plymouth
Rocks and Light Brahmas have won the best
prizes. Sid Conger, of Fiat Rock, on his Wyan-
dotte collection, received the highest score ever
made In the United States. His coop OF six
fowls ran from 924 to 95. in scoring points He
received an offer of $3.50 for the coop, but re
fused it."
