An Important Enterprise.
Editor Morning Call: An important
meeting of the Sonoma County Poultry
and Petaluma Stock Association took place
on Wednesday at the office of the Petaluma
Incubator Company. The object of the
meeting was TO take the necessary steps
toward Derfecting plans for the next exhi-
bition of the association. A committee con-
sisting of L. c. Byce, C. Nilsson and A.
Armstrong was appointed to revise the rules
and regulations governing the association,
and to confer with members in other Sec
tions Of the county as 10 the proper date to
hold such exhibition. Petauma and the
surrounding country justly have the reputa-
ton of being the great poultry center of the
Pacific Coast The members propose that
this reputation shall be maintained and
every effort will be put forth to make this
exhibition a success. A gentleman whose
business interests are identified with the
pOultry-bTee states that there will be a
choice collection of thoroughbred poultry
from all parts of the State and Arizona
which Will afford an excellent opportunity
to see all the recognized breeds, and by
comparison Fetaluma will then be enabled
TO display her colors, and show why she is
considered the great poultry center of the
Coast.
