URDAY MOST SUCCESSFUL
IN ALL RESPECTS.

The Swat the Rooster Day" was o
most successful one Saturday. An
OF the dealers who went into tba
agreement report that there was a
liberal response to their efforts to A.,
minish the male fowl population Of
Maury county. Something like 2OOO
ROSTERS were bought during the dav
by the dealers.
All Of those who sold their roosters
were required to sign cards, stating
that they would not allow any roos
ter to run with their hens during the
months Of June, July and August. On
this kind Of basis, they were paid
ten cents per pound for them. 9th.
erwise, they received only six cents
The ROSTERS poured in to all the
dealers over the county, who had
representatives at many of the coun.
try stores. The farmers wives were
attracted by the fancy price that was
being paid, and took advantage Of it
to dispose of the old roosters on hand

ROOSTER DAY WAS
GREAT SUCCESS
MANY OF THE MALE OF THE SPE.
clEs BROUGHT TO THE
DEALERS.

Swat the Rooster" day has been q
fatal one to the cocks Of the barn
yard walks in Maury county. From
early morning, when a little fellow
was seen going across the square
with an old rooster tucked under his
arm, until late this afternoon, there
was steady stream Of housewives
and chicken men who poured into the
produce dealers stores with roosters.
The main attraction was the price
that they paid today. The three To-
cal dealers, Columbia Produce Co.,
Barker-Harbin Co. and Hardison Pro
duce Co., and the Park Produce
Co., of Culleoka, went into an agree
ment to pay that figure to all poultry
men and women in the county.
The date, the twenty-third Of the
month, was particularly appropriate
for the occasion, as 1t was reas
"skiddoo" day for the monarchs OF
the barn yards. Many was the old
rooster that went to slaughter on
this date.
