associations of California and Ore
gon, as well as many other forms OF
associated effort. This being true, il
is strange indeed that until now, lit
tie or no consideration has been Civ
en- in this country to the cooperative
production and marketing of poultry
and eggs. In the opinion of the
; writer there is no branch of the
| farming business to which the princi-
pies of cooperation can be so easily
| applied and where results would be
SO immediate and profitable
"A study of the cooperative poul-
| try work being carried on in Denma rk
and Weden, and the attending re-
suits, leads the Department of Agri-
culture to believe that a similar plan
if adopted by the producers of poul =
try and eggs in Maine. would prove
advantageous in proportion.
Why Maine Poultry Producers
should OrganiZe-When we consider
the concentration of population in
New England, and aloS the largely in
creased summer population in Maine,
and upon the other hand the com
paratively small number of New Eng
land farms from which can be sup
piled fancy hennery eggs and fresh
fowls, it is apparent that here lies a
great opportunity for the poultry pro-
ducers of Maine.
"Purposes-The purpose of a poul
try producers association would un-
doubtedly be two fold First, educa =
tionaL Frequent meetings should be
held at which the methods for pro-
duction OF poultry and eggs would be
thoroughly discussed, and the stand
ards for their proper grading ana
packing decided upon.
Second, financial. To this phase
Of association work We must look for
the greatest benefits. immense pos
sibilities are Immediately before us
In addition to the cooperative mar
keting of poultry and eggs, there
could be the coordination of several
local associations in the State, and
through them the establishment OF
central killing stations. packing
houses. cold storages, central hatch
| ing stations, also the cooperative
purchasing of feed stuffs and other
supplies.
Form of Association-The associa =
ton should be very simple in form,
| with bylaws. however, sufficiently
restrictive to safeguard its business.
| In response to many ana frequent
| injuries which are received at the OF
| flee of the Commissioners of Inland
Fisheries and Game regarding the law
which governs fishing in the kenne-
| bee river above the Gardiner ana
Randolph bridge, the statement IS
made that the above is not within
| the jurisdiction of the commission.
but within that of the Commission OF
Sea and Shore Fisheries. The an
swer to the inquiries is found however
| in Chapter % of the Private ana
Special Laws of 1909. which is en-
titled An act to amend Section one,
| CHAPTER two hundred and ffty-three
of the Special Laws of nineteen hun
dred and seven, entitled An act for
| the better protection of Alewlves,
Shad and Sturgeon in various rivers
| of Maine The amended section reads
| as follows:
1T shall be unlawful for any person
TO take. catch, kill or destroy any ale
wives, shad or sturgeon IN the waters
