Poultry fancirs are not enthusiastic
over the prospects of exhibiting their
birds the coming winter, and if the pre-
diction of at least two officers of the
state poultry association is well founded,
the annual show will not be held in Jan
uary. Scant attention has been paid to
the development of exhibition birds here
abouts this year, and many of those who
used to display large strings of blooded
fowls have gone out of the business be-
cause of the high price Of grain The
last show, held In January Of this year,
was a success in many ways, yet the reg
istration plainly indicated that the old
fever for rushing birds to poultry show
had partially subsidized. The mounting
cost of poultry fodder has taken the edge
from the breeding game, and some of the
most consistent exhibitors in the old
days are going in for eggs and chickens
and paying little attention to the APP
pearance of their birds. 1t is doubtful
whether there will be show anywhere
in Vermont next winter
