POULTRY RAISERS ORGANIZE
First Steps Taken to Establish
Such an Association in Rusk
County

A meeting was held Wednesday,
at the city hall, with August Simon
chairman and O. Fl. Richardson, sec
retary, at which first steps were ta-
ken for the establishment in Rusk
county, of an association having for
its object the promotion of the rails
ing of better poultry and more of it.
An adjournment was taken to Jan.
s, when another meeting will be
held at the same place, at 1:30, at
which a name for the association is
to be chosen, officers elected, con-
stitution and bylaws adopted, and
the organization otherwise perfected.
The following were present and
became charter members of the as
sociation: August Simon, D. H. Rich
ards, o. HI. Richardson, Louie Rob-
inson, VIM. Dunn, E. A. Kirvan, John
Ryall, Frank Putnam, J. A. Boyer,
Ed Austin and A. H. Plant.
The concensus of opinion of those
piOo0Hl oSouGu u UG L1dL the move
ment contemplated was one in the
right direction, and-which is in
agreement with those who have CIV
en- thought to the subject-that this
section of the state offers conditions
and facilities peculiarly favorable to
the business. There are a number
of successful pure-bred poultry rails
ers in the county, and there doesn't
seem to be any question of profit
and market, as nothing less than the
returns from her hay crop, is re-
quired to exceed the revenue de-
rived, by this country, from the poul-
try business.
