the Advantages Of Cooperation

he Advantages Of Cooperation
The poultry industry in Missouri is
growing faster than any other branch
Of the farm work at present for peo-
pie are beginning to realize that the
from poultry and eggs during
the two years of dry weather has been
a great help in paying the grocery
and clothing bills, and in a majority
Of cases has also helped to increase
the bank deposit.
The Missouri State Poultry Associ-
alton has been able during its twenty
three years Of active life to encourage
the raising Of better poultry and more
of it by its annual State Poultry Show
and by its influence in getting State
appropriations for the experimental
and educational work which is being
done by the Missouri State Poultry
Experiment Station.
The membership has increased dur
ing the past few years from hundreds
to thousands and now hovers around
the Eve thousand mark. By a little
solicitation on the part of its members
the membership can easily be doubled
before our next Show, which will be
held at Joplin, December 7th to 18th.
The annual membership dues are
only fifty cents and the year continues
from time Of payment, in place of hav-
ing a financial year terminating on
any certain date. The life member
ship fee is IS.
The members receive all Of the bull
letins issued by the Missouri State
Poultry Experiment Sta. during the
life Of their membership, without hav-
ing to write to Mountain Grove for
each bulletin when it is ready for dis
tribution. Non-members often miss
receiving of great value, through not
knowing that such are available, and
the information contained in any Of
them is worth the price of a years
membership.
The Association also issues a year
book, containing the name, address
and variety Of poultry raised by every
member, which as an advertising med
Jun is worth several dollars.
BY joining the Missouri State Poul-
try Association, each member helps
to boost Missouri poultry interests,
and in that way is helping to make
conditions better. The increased prof
its resulting from a better under
standing Of feeding and housing con-
ditions as explained by the experts at
Mountain Grove has been the means
of securing more c~onveniences in the
home.
Missouri pure bred poultry is being
shipped to all parts Of this country
and to numerous foreign countries, in
competition with the best that is bred
any where.
Missouri markets for poultry and
eggs have been improved in quality
and price by cooperation Of members
of this association an dthe influence
they have exerted in their communi-
ties
If every poultry raiser could be
LISTED among the Association mem
bers, its influence would be far greater
than at present and more good could
be accomplished in getting better
prices for both pure bred and market
poultry, without increasing the cost
of production.
The harvest season is a good time
to renew membership or to join thu
Association, so that everyone will be
enrolled before the opening of the fal
show season.
