The campaign to increase the poul.

a beneficial effect, according to N. E
Chapman of the extension division OF
the state agricultural college. The
propaganda was started last month
and is backed by the State Dairy and
Food Commission, railroad and ex.
press companies, and the college.
Mr.. Chapman is conducting a town.
to-town campaign throughout Mime,
sofa. He expects his efforts in time
to bear fruit to the extent that the
poultry industry of the state will see
an increase of $30,000,0O0.
Farmers should market their eggs
and poultry as they do their sweet
milk" Mr.. Chapman said. Seventeen
per cent Of the egg crop of Minnesota
is lost every year through ignorance
or carelessness. The state is trying
to overcome this. 1t amounts to about
two eggs out Of every dozen. We are
working now on the conservation idea,
to get the farmers to give more atten-
ton to gathering their eggs and mar
keting them more promptly"
