League.

OHt VI tHt InOSt 1iilpOIldll incttitlSS
of poultrymen ever held in the State of
New Jersey took place on Saturday.
September IS. in the Victoria Hotel,
Ashury Park.
A call had been sen u to most of
the leading2 utility and fancy poultry
breeders in the State to assemble at the
above time and place for the purpose
Of discussing the formation of a State
poultry association.
AS a consequence of this meeting the
New Jersey League of Poultry Raisers
was organized, with the following Off
GERS:
President, Charles ID. Cleveland, Sun
nybrook Farm, West Orange; first vice.
president, j.. Nj. Foster, Rancocas Poul-
try Farm, Browns Mills in the Pines;
second vice-president, DIR. G. C. Brown,
Iona: third vice-president. c. l.. Bow
Ter, Asbury Park: treasurer. F, w.
Sumner, Elizabeth; secretary, j. Harry
Wolsieffer, Dunellen.
The officers were instructed to pick
out a board of directors, consisting Of
one active man from each county in the
State. The objects of the league will
be more definitely defined in the con-
stitution to be adopted, but they are
primarily to stimulate the interest of
all poultry raisers throughout the State,
to the end that al appropriation can be
made by the Legislature for State aid
to the poultrymen.
A convention is~to be held annually,
with competent and well-known lee
turers on poultry topics, to which con-
vention all farmers and those inter-
ested in poultry are to be invited, and
from which will be sent out bulletins
on practical poultry topics, such as in
cubation, brooding, raising and care of
chicks. feeding and housing layers, etc.
The greatest interest was manifested
at the meeting, as is evidenced by the
list of those who subscribed their
names as members. and it is believed
that the poultrymen of New Jersey
are now awake to the situation, that
their sister States have gone far ahead
of them in securing assistance from
The State government. As many eggs
are produced annually in the state, if
not more, than any other State; great
quantities of dressed poultry are
shipped from New Jersey to the New
York and Philadelphia markets. and
