visited the big shows III New York. ST

the number of birds shown here was

Washington Waters, president of the
Columbia Poultry and Pigeon Associa-
ton, said that he believed the time would
come when Washington would hold inter
national poultry shows that would rival
those of London. The show this year,
he said, had done much to open the eyes
of the poultry fancierS in all parts of the
country. The fact that many congress
men from the various states had taken
keen interest In the show and voiced
their approval was an indication. he said
that the show next year would be even
better than that just closed.

fanciers TO continue to keep chickens
They will take the matter up with the
new District Commissioners as soon as
