for the simple fact that they had had
their WINGS cut Peculiar some may
think that a bird should be debarred
from competition because he has
. clipped wing, and yet such Is the law
/ You know that a wing feather may
sometime be off color and the judge
does not know that they were cut to
keep them from getting into the
ucighbOT's gaTden-he presumes that
they were clipped TO get rid Of some
feather that was off color Then we
stumbled upon some Buff Orpingtons,
the property Of the superintendent or
the poultry department. Joe @. Smith,
than can 20 i'm the very fastest of
company Now this same color burr
has given the judges some very hard
knocks, as so many will take a dingy
red for buff The Standard says a
rich even golden buff; and Smith had
it, both i'm tho old and the young
stock Then a little further on we
found that the College Hin farm had
done itself proud in the breeding OF
single comb Rhode Island Reds. Here
again the dispute lies largely as to
what is red Very many mistake n
chocolate for the proper color. where

appended the awards as given me by
the superintendent, and you can get
the gist of the matter from them.
No Importation Needed.
/ Now the thought that impressed IL
self on me was that Tulsa, with an
these progressive poultrymen, should
mot have to import eggs and fowls for
table use but that these breeders
with others whom ! do not name, not
having had the pleasure Of meeting
them can and should form the nu-
cleus around which can and should be
built an industry that will place Tulsa
on the map as a poultry producing
center with the local market sup
piled there can be found profitable
markets both in Kansas City and ST.
Louis both in easy access by the lines
Of quick transportation that radiate
from the city. / have serious doubts
if any one Of thees breeders raises
enough of eggs or meat to Justify the
shipping but the combined strength
Of them all would certainly Justify It.
/ They have every reason to be proud
OF what they have from a fancier's
standpoint and yet they are like every
other American citizen of this age
they are looking for the almighty dol
lar and they can certainly add very
materially to these dollars if they viii
90 after the commercial side of this
business as they should, and ] have
some reason to hope that they will
They first want to convince the cit
izens of Tulsa that there Is a very
great difference between a frsh egg
and one that is simply sold as fresh,
for, sad to tell very many that are
said to be fresh are only Fit for use
in case we run into a set Of hoodlums
who need to be egged out OF town.
One thing that would help them to
get after this business i'm a more act
i've way would be the establishment of
real poultry produce house in the
City-One that would be willing to al
low them a fair margin OF profit on
the output Of their yards and If this
Is not done then | would suggest that
they get together temsclves and or
OF their number as the manager of
the same. How this plan has been
and can be successfully carried cut We
will tell you in our next.
All in all ! wish to congratulate the
/ pOu trymen on the most Creditable eX-
/ hihit made at the Tulsa fair and homo
that 1t may be but an earnest Of
| what they will have in the poultry
department another year
