MAKE POULTRY CAMPAIGN. "
Missouri Pacific to Run an Ex-
 hibit Train.
Stop Will be Made at Conway, Friday November 30, and Lecture Given
 by Poultry Experts.

| A poultry CIuSdQe mas been h. augurated in Arkansas by the Mis- souri Pacific Railway Company
 The plan involves the use of a poultry train. filled with exhibi- ton coops for the display of the finest specimens of the various standard breeds produced by Ark ansas poultry men; in addition a complete display of every appli- ance will be made, including poul- try feeds, incubators, breeders, bone cutters, etc used by growers of poultry. Experts will be pres ent to explain their uses.
 Trained experts will also be on hand to lecture on topics relating to poultry culture in all its phases The morning will be devoted to showing the public the specimens of we'll bred poultry on exhibit and in explaining the various appli- ances used in extensive poultry culture, while the afternoon will be taken up in lectures by poultry experts.
 The lectures will be given in halls in the various places visited, as the cars will be two crowded with exhibits to accommodate the audiences.
 This is the first time that poul- try train has been used by any railroad in Arkansas.
 The slogan of the projectors of the idea is, Breed two hens of standard breed where one mongrel now roams and reduce to the class of capons all cockerels not needed in the economy of poultrydom."
 It is their conviction that an enormous increase in egg produc- ton will result with the proposed improvement in breeds even with the present number of fowls, but the interest to be aroused in stand ard poultry is expected to result also in an enormous increase in the number of fowls maintained on each farm.
 The advantage of using the standard breeds is to demonstrate to the farmer on his own soil what has been accomplished by others and to show him the difference in value between the we'll bred fowl and the common breeds that he has been satisfied to produce with probably indifferent results.
 The Industrial Department of the Missouri Pacific System in planning the poultry crusade and In securing the cooperation of poultry experts is convinced of the value of this plan for the education of the poultry farmer.
 A complete file of all leading poultry and agricultural papers in the country will be part of the exhibit.
 The itinerary or the train is as follows: Batesville, Nov. P; Jud sonia, Nov. B; Beebe, Nov. A; Little Rock, Nov. 25 (Sunday); Benton, Nov. 20; Philadelphia, Nov. 27; Hope Nashville. Nov. 2S; Nashville Hope, Nov. 29; Conway, Nov. 30; Russellville, Dec. I; Van Buren, Dec. 2; Alma-Ozark, Dec. 3; Clarksville, Dec. 4; Pine Bluff, Dec. 5; Monroe, La, Dec. 6.
 Each community to be visited will be invited to arrange for local poultry exhibit. A special trained expert will be present to score without charge any poultry when requested,
