The State Board of Agriculture
calls attention to the fact that one of
the quickest way to increase the meat
supply is to grow poultry and while
too late to do much this Fall in gen.
eral lines, it is a good time to start
into the squsb business. Probably
the price of grain will be considerably
lower than it has been in the last few
months and the price of meat will
probably be higher rather than lower.
There is always a demand for squads
and during the war times there will
be an unusual demand for their use
IN hospitals and for wounded or con-
Valescent soldiers.
