RAISE POULTRY rs
PLEA. OF GOVERNOR

Springfield. Ill. March 15-Farm-
ers of Illinois are told in a state
ment issued today by Governor
LOwden that they can do real
war service by raising poultry. The
statement, given at the request of
Frank L. Plat, extension poultry
husbandman Of the college of agri-
culture at Urbana. follows:
y cannot too strongly urge Upon
the farmers of the state to give spe-
cial attention to poultry raising
this year | do not mean by this
commercial poultry raising upon d
large scale. But every farm can
carry a considerable amount of
poultry with but little care and ex-
pense. Poultry will subsist largely
upon what would otherwise go to
waste on the farm. To this extent
we may regard poultry as by-pro-
duct. And, to this extent, it is the
cheapest food produced upon the
farm. The value of the annual
poultry production of Illinois is
somewhere near $25,G00.000. as
am informed. This could be greatly
increased"
