Will Make Display of the Mis-
souri, Hen.

If Corn Is King in Missouri, the
Hen is Queen. The value OF hepoul-
try products is surprisingly large
and is increasing year by year. For
1900 Missouri ranked third among
the States OF American unionin poul-
try products, but the last three years
have shown a remarkable increase,
and it is probable that the present
rank OF the state is higher. Certain
ly the value OF the poultry is larger.
The Missouri Worlds Fair Com
mission is planning along specially
liberal lines a display OF Missouri
poultry, chickens, geese, ducks and
turkeys. The work will be entrusted
to a competent superintendent under
the direction of Chairman d. p.

ment Of Poultry.
