H. e. Thompson, secretary of the
south Carolina Poultry and Pigeon
Association, says that indications this
year are that the poultry and pigeon
entries Of the state Iair will surpass
In qaulity and number those of any
preceding year. Last spring there was
unusual activity in many sections of
the state to organize county associa-
tlons and this he thinks has done
much to emphasize the work of the
state organization. The building will
be open for the reception of the birds
Saturday, October 23.
One Of the rules governing the
classification is that entries shall con-
slstQf single specimens, breeding pens
and display yards. The entrance fees
Tor these are: Single specimens, SO
cents each; breeding pens, consisting
or one cockerel and four hens, 50;
display pens for exhibition purposes
only, So. Birds in single classes do
not compete for breeding pen prices.
and vice versa
The management is urging that tur-
key exhibitors make no entries in the
breeding pen class. Previous expert
ence is shown that 1t is we'll nigh i'm
possible to confine five turkeys in a
single coop and prevent injury from
fighting.
Exhibitors are also urged to make
all shipments by express They are
reminded too that it is highly import
ant to see that the shipping tags bear
the breed. sex and band number"
Premiums have been provided for
the prize birds Of all popular and
miscellaneous breeds. Turkey and
pigeon entry classes are also numer-
Gus and the varied list Of prizes
should encourage entries from all
classes.
In addition to the schedule Of regu.
lar cash prizes, many additional and
special prizes have been offered Some
Of these are to be made in cash. 9th
ers consist of sterling silver leg bands
and many other useful premiums.

Berlin will soon introduce a meat

report insists the meat rations must
be cut at least fifty per cent.

Kaiser Cuts RafionS
of Meat By One-Half

which is about one-tenth Of the nor
NAL yearly imports"
Importations of butter and meat
from Holland, Denmark and Sweden
are said to have been considerable,
while fish was obtained in large guam
titles from Norway. In this connec-
tion the report points out that;
1T can be assumed that one quar-
ter of the normal demand for food
stuffs has been brought in. A fur
ther advantage will be found in the
fact that since the beginning of hos
tilities the German army in the field
has been supported to a certain ex-
tent from products of the occupied
territory. which saving in home pro-
ducts can be estimated at to 6 per
cent"
The aggregate saving over peace
consumption of all foodstuffs is esti-
mated at from Is to II per cent. The
bread card is credited with saving
about 20 per cent. of the bread con-
sumption.
