endeavor to feed ourselves and our
allies has found that it is necessary
to increase greatly, poultry and egg
production. The shortage is so large
and the necessity so great that Con-
gress made large emergency ap-
preparation to be used by the Bureau
OF Animal Industry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in connection
with the state extension service in
each state to acquaint our people with
the conditions and obtain through
them the necessary increase in poul-
try production. This work is being
taken up in each state of the Union
and it becomes absolutely imperative
to obtain as large an increase in
poultry and eggs as possible.
The production of poultry and
eggs is capable of the greatest and
most rapid increase Of any animal
products. Our country and our al
lies are dependent upon these for our
greatest increase in animal foods for
the coming years.
l wish to call the attention of farm
ers, poultrymen, and all others who
keep poultry or who are situated so
that they can do so, to this fact and
to the fact that poultry culture offers
the greatest opportunity for a great
er number Of persons, especially wo-
men and children, of the farm and of
the cities and villages, to take part in
increasing the animal food supply.
find that Utah is importing from
one to two million dollars worth of
poultry products annually.
This fact brought to your attention
that poultry products can be shipped
here and sold in your own markets
should be sufficient assurance that
poultry and egg production in the
State of Utah must be very profit
able occupation.
Consumption of poultry products
will, If they are obtainable, increase
materially. This will make the de-
mand for these more insistent and the
necessity for largely increased pro-
duction even greater than at present.
