APPEAL FOR FUNDS FOR
THE NEXT POULTRY SHOW
Hastings and thinner Declare
$4,000 Is Needed to Sup
port Exhibition

H. G. Hastings. president of the Geor-
gia Poultry association, and w. v. Zim-
mer, chairman of it's executive commit
tee. have issued an appeal for funds
with which to conduct the next poultry
show in Atlanta, which the association
plans to hold in January.
They declare that 5000 is needed to
have a good show, and that unless this
amount is raised, it will be impractcable
to hold the show. They also point out
the Importance of the show, which will
represent not only Atlanta, but the whole
state. The appeal is as follows:
ION behalf of ghe Georgia Poultry AS
ISOLATION we want to make a plain state
ment of fact to both the poultry raisers
and consumers of Georgia.
Georgia spends annually many million
dollars for Tennessee grown poultry and
eggs. 1t is a cash drain on Georgia.
Every dollars worth of those supplies
should be raised at home and an i'm
petus to poultry raising is given by every
successful poultry show. Every con-
sumner of poultry and eggs has a direct
interest in the encouragement of poultry
raising. The demand is increasing faster
than the supply, hence the increase of
poultry prices in recent years.
NEED FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
1t has been planned to have a frst-class
poultry show in Atlanta in January, the
largest and highest class show in the
south. After a careful survey of the
situation the officers of the Georgia Poul-
try Association feel that they cannot
carry out the show as planned, a show
second only to those held in New York
and Chicago, unless the poultry raisers
and others interested in Georgia give the
Georgia Poultry Association better finan-
cial support than in the past.
This is a Georgia association not a
local Atlanta affair. and deserves the
support of the entire state. 1t is an
organization that seeks to make nc
profit. A comparatively few of as
mostly in Atlanta and vicinity, have
done all the work and paid the ex-
penses of the past two shows without
compensation or expectation of any
We are willing to do our share Of both
work and financing the shows in the
future, but we must have the hearty
cooperation, especially financial coop
Grafton, of the poultry raisers of Geor-
gia and the poultry consuming public
1t is the object of our work to de-
velop an interest in poultry matters, to
increase the production of poultry and
poultry products in Georgia. These poul-
to the production Of more poultry and
better poultry and there are few peo-
pie in Georgia that have not an in
terest in the development of this in
dustry in our state.
SHOWS ARE COSTLY.
These poultry shows cost money and
it was the unanimous action of the
board of direstors OF our association
that it wuTd be impracticable to hold
the January show in Atlanta as planned
unless the poultry raisers and consum-
ers come forward and finance the show.
To put the Georgia Poultry associa-
ton on a firm financial footing we need
$4,000. Our shares are SO each, stock
being issued against cash subscription.
We NUT have the necessary money to
finance these shows properly or else
they will not be held. Won't you do
your hare in helping develop what can
easily be made on of the great indus
tries of the state?
Subscriptions should be sent prompt
ly to Mr.. c. o. Harwell secretary, 116
North Pryor street, Atlanta, Ga.

Chairman Executive Committee.

President Georgia Poultry Assn.
