SEEK STATE AID
FOR The CHICKEN
STATE POULTRY ASSOCIATION
URGING PASSAGE OF A BILL
IN THE LEGIsLATURE.

The Iowa State Poultry and Pet
Stock association is at present very
busy in urging measure in the in
terest of the famous Iowa Hen" that
has been introduced by Represents
tive l. T. Dabney Of Bloomfield in the
state legislature looking to the ap-
preparation of $1,000 annually for the
purpose Of defraying expense inciden-
tai to poultry exhibits and institutes
held by the state association. The
poultry men of the state are working
hard for the measure. They say that
Iowa is far behind her sister states OF
Minnesota, Nebraska; Missouri, In
diana and Illinois in their loyalty to
the faithful hen of the thoroughbred
stock and urge that the several sen
ators and representatives bring what
pressure they can to bear upon the
p sage Of the bill to elevate the
poultry in Iowa to the plan where II
belongs.
