The O. A. C. poultry demonstra-
ton car, which is drawing large
crowds at every stop in Southern Or
egon, viii be in Dallas on Friday
night May 3, at 11:10 o'clock, and
everyone interested in poultry-keep-
ing is invited to be present
"There has been an enormous in
crease in the production of eggs and
poultry in this state during the past
two years, but in spite of this the de-
mand has far exceeded the supply
and prices are still as higs as ever
said Professor Dryden of the state
college recently
Last year over 200 carloads Of eggs
were imported into the state. If the
farmers of Oregon would keep on an
average, 100 hens instead of about
so, it would shut out the imports
and add $4,O00,OO0 or $4,000, 600
year to the wealth of the state.
To Stimulate Production.
The purpose of the demonstration
car is to stimulate a greater product
ion of poultry and eggs. The quick
est and best way to achieve this re-
suit is to increase the flocks of the
farmers rather than to have poultry
keepers start large egg farms" The
demand will never be met by the es-
tablishment of large exclusive poul-
try farms. Should the general farm
er go out Of the business of produc-
ing eggs in the United States, there
would soon be an egg famine, and
possibly a serious financial panic.
There are opportunities for profit,
on the other hand, along special lines
of poultry-keeping under special con-
ditions If the poultrymen can pro-
duce special article and demand
special prices for it, there is no reas-
on why he cannot make a profit If
he uses Intelligent management. There
is a demand, for instance, for good
breeding stock. If the poultryman
can breed or establish strain or
flock of heavy layers, he Will soon
have more orders for eggs for hatch
ing and breeding stock at high prices
than he can fill
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1912-04-23
Market Limited.

'The market, however, is limited
for specialties of that kind, and II
would be folly to advise everyone to
90 into special lines. The college has
kept more people out of the poultry
business than have gone into 1t as an
exclusive business and have as
matter of plain duty advised
caution TO the writer's of a
great number of letters from all parts
of oregon and other states during the
past year. who have stated that they
were going into the poultry business
