industry in Washington. has been
assigned to Louisiana to give what
assistance he can to farmers in
solving their poultry problems.

every few persons in this state
or in the country at large appre-
ciate the critical condition of the
poultry industry today, says Mr..
Prehn. With tiocks in AL sec
tons being depleted and many
poultrymen going out of the bust
ness because of the increased cost
of production, the country is fac
ing shortage of poultry products
which may become serious 1T i'm
mediate steps are not taken to re .
medy this condition. 1t is neces-
sary that every poultry breeder re-
allies his responsibility at this
time and responds to his patriotic
duty by endeavoring to increase
the poultry production of the state.
The plan of work that Mr. Prehn
will carry Oh among the poultry

PLATTEVILLE YOUNG MAN
IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT

Vic Kamm of Platteville is badly
cut up and hurt about the face says the
Journal as the result of an auto ac-
cident. He and Otto Steur had been in
the country in the Ford taxi, on bust
ness, and when they returned home,
were turning the corner at East Min
eral and Oak streets, when a touring
car making the same turn in the OPP
posite direction, nearly collided with
the taxi. The taxi skidded into light
pole, and Mr.. Kamm was thrown thru
the glass door cutting his head and
face badly. He was taken to the Cum
ningham hospital for care, and it re-
quired many stitches to close the
wounds. Mr.. Kamm is getting along
as we'll as can be expected after his
unfortunate accident.
