Important Industry.
Poultry raising is one of the i'm
portant industries of Washington. 1t
goes hand in hama with the diversified
agriculture which has taken a firm
hold on the farmers of the state. There
is no field that returns greater profits
for the investment than well managed
poultry yards. The demand is far in
excess of the supply every year. Eggs
and poultry must be imported from
eastern states to supply the markets
of the large cities during the winter
months. Because of this fact there is
always a good demand for everything
the poultryman can produce.

assists in correcting those evils and
educating the masses for success.

with less capital than many other lines
of special agriculture. 1t may be add

the general field of agriculture. 1t re-

of those VINO would make a financial
success of the venture. But it is not
near the danger point of overproduc-
