URGE POULTRYMEN TO
SUPPORT NEW BILL
County Agent Wants Lynden District
To Back Up Measure Protecting
Industry Against Foreign Eggs

All Whatcom County poultrymen
are urged this week in a call sent
out by County Agent H. B. Carroll,
jr. to rally to the support of bill
in the Legislature to remedy the for
eign egg evil.
The measure, which was introduc-
ed Friday, requires all foreign eggs
TO be labeled and sold as such. The
bill has the backing of the Washing
ton Cooperative Egg and Poultry As
sociation, and state agricultural auth
critics. who seek to protect the To-
cal poultrymen from unfair compet-
ition. A tentative bill was drawn up
by a committee from the Whatcom
County Poultry Association at its
last meeting, and this was mailed to
the legislative delegates from the
county.
Il have just received cOmmun-
ication from Mr.. J. Taylor at Olympia
who is backing this bill, and he needs
the cooperation of every Whatcom
County poultryman," Mr.. Carroll an
nounced today Il would therefore
urge that every poultryman write a
letter to Senator Ed Brown and Rep
resentative d. F. Turnkey, asking
them to support this act which will
make it unlawful to sell imported
eggs unless labeled as such.
LET us all support this bill as it
means a great deal to the future Of
the poultry industry. Write your
letter Immediately. as the legislative
session is getting shorter every day
and they have a big program ahead
of them"

the poultry industry. special empha-
sis will be laid on this branch this
year, and lectures and interesting
displays are promised in this sect
ion.
