FouIsry Raising.
Professor Mayo discussed the inn
pcrtance Of poultry raising in connec-
ton with farminge For the past sew
eral years said Professor Mayo, the
cotton and hay crops have been
beaten BY poultry: in the year 1908
tho sum realised from poultry was
100000. eco. cclipsing the combined
output OF the gold and silver mfnes
Of the country for the same period.
And we can double the poultry pro-
ducts from this State" said Profess
aor Mayo. He said; The bese,ting
sin OF the American farmer IL rob
bang the soil. Conservation OF re-
sources Of farms Is the greatest ques-
ton Of the day with farmers. The
credit OF the farmer In NOT measured
by his ACREAGE but BY the number
Of acres he can fertilixe."
The address OF Professor Afayo was

osaved BY the convention. A vote of
