The Department of Agriculture is
encouraging the buildings of local
plants. It's reasons are that the
poultry packed and shipped from
such plants is in better condition
than poultry that is shipped alive
for long distances prior to slaugh-
ter. Also the districts in which To-
cal plants are maintained benefit
by the Investment and the location of
an industry, while production is
favorably affected.
The movement in most lines OF
business toward consolidation, sug-
gests the Courier-Journal. 1t is by
no means improbable that the poul-
Try industry ultimately will be prin-
/ c1pally in the hands Of the beef
trust or some other great combina-
