LET POULTRY REPLACE
SOME OF YOUR COTTON

Produce poultry on the acreage which
Is saved when the cotton crop Is re-
duced, urges. Joe Mette, poultry dlrec-
tor Of the Memphis Chamber Of Com
merce farm bureau, There Is great
profit to be had from poultry, Mr..
Mette says, and grains produced on the
conserved acreage and fed to poultry
win bring greater profit than II sold
by the bushel. Poultry sold in Tonnes
see last year, he says, reached a total
value OF $50, 900, 900.
Most Of this great sun went into
the pockets Of East Tennessee poultry
producers, however, Mr.. Mette said,
and he wants the ratio reversed In IA
vor OF West Tennessee In 1919. Hens
in 1918 brought % TO 30 cents a pound
eggs, 25 to 60 cents a dozen; turkeys,
n to 35 cents a pound; ducks and
geese, Is cents a pound. Present pros
poets are, he says, for just as fine
prices In 1919. Poultry Is now being
shipped out OF Tennessee, mostly from
