Mr.. Hunnicutt, the temporary chair
man. gave out the following statement in
explanation OF the aims and purposes
OF the association:
PURPOSES OF ASSOCIATION.
.aThe object Of the Southern Interna-
tional Poultry association is for the up
building of the rapidly developing poul-
try industry OF the entire country and
especially in the southern states; to work
in harmony with and TO assist all small
er poultry associations in holding their
poultry shows. and to lend all possible
aid TO the individual breeder in develop
ing his breeds.
ct is the purpose OF the association TO
hold one big show where the winning
birds OF all the smaller shows may be
placed on exhibition-in other words, 10
hold a show where all premiums will be
won in competition with a majority Of
the winners at the other leading shows
Of the season, which will mean Npraeu
caIly that any ord winning at our show
win be a championship winner.
LIBERAL PREMIUMS.
TT is the purpose of this association
to compile a set OF bylaws and regula-
lions that win conform TO poultry con-
ditions In the southern states and which
will govern the management and rules
under which this and all other subordi-
nate shows OF the south shall be held.
It Is to be conducted, however. in a
manner that will give every possible as
sistznce to the smaller associations LIB
eral premiums VIII be offered TO each OF
tha .sarbor61naae ,~crganazafieng as the
means Of, this association viii allow, and
also to offer attractive premiums at the
big show which win be competed for by
the subordinate associations. The asso-
citation win be run for the purpose OF
putting the entire poultry business on a
more substantial basis.
I'VE hope from this work to finally
build up a show as great in every par
ticular as those now held at Madison
Square Garden or at Crystal Palace and
we ask that every person who contem-
plates breeding or showing birds leave
nothing undone that win aid in the up
building OF this association.
I'VE further ask that every breeder
over the entire southern states be IN
vfted and urged to join this association
end work in the upbuilding of this great
industry and lend his efforts to put 1t
on higher plane than ever before.
ANY one can become a member Of
this association by purchasing one share
OF stock at the par value of $40 and
any association can become a member
OF this association by owning one share
OF stock"
