This Is the Slogan Adopted At a

the patriotic slogan adopted by the

termined to fulfill its widest meaning.
William Kuhlman, local chicken
fancier of Winona has received
acknowledgment of his letter in
which he pledged himself willing to
assist in increasing the nations food
supply by urging the raising of more
poultry. To increase the food supply
by 100,000,000 pounds is the greatest
work ever undertaken by the Amer
can Poultry association and it is a
work that will reflect the patriotic
motive of each member for the next
twenty-five years, President E. E.
Richards says further:
''Never in the history of the world
will there be a greater demand than
in the next twenty-four months tha'
are to follow. Here we have an OPP
portunity of producing an extra one
hundred million pounds if the Amer
lean farmers, the fancierS and breed
ers will give their attention to hatch
ing during the months of May and
June.
at is well known fact that the
available supply of meat products is
today the lowest in our country per
capita, in the history of the United
States.
1T is not unusual for the fanciers
to quit Matching with April. Let me
urge that Matching be continued dur
ing the months of May and June and
also during July in large part of
our country. Let the old hen do her
part-fill up the ncubators-keep
them going through May and June
the results will be worth while. Let
us be prepared to consume every bit
of table and kitchen scraps and make
them a source of profit"
