Whereas, there is no necessity
for keeping the roosters with the

shown that hens lay as we'll or

Therefor, |, Guy G. Frary,
Food and Drug Commissioner for
the State of South Dakota, do
hereby designate and appoint Sat

persons owning chickens to remove
all roosters from the tiocks on that

roostcrs until November |, next
| further urge that all good citi-
