POULTRY POSSIBILITIES

Poultry raising in this section of
the state offers to the energetic man.
woman, boy and girl, an opportunity
TO make profitable use of their spare
time IN caring for a few specimens
OF natures greatest gift, the Arizona
hen. The possibilities in the poultry
INDUSTRY In this part of the state are
as good as can be found any where.
There are many things to be learn
ed in this line of work. You NAV
have five or ten years experience
with poultry and still have much to
learn. Have you ever visited a poul-
try experiment station and witnessed
the work that is being carried on
We have these stations in most eyerv
state in the Union and they are doing
great work. Why haven't we one
IN Northern Arizona? There is no
locality in the United States that has
any better climatic conditions for
poultry raising than has Winslow and
the mild winters and early springs

Matching. No where in the Western
states will you find an equal to Ari-
zonas climate for this industry.
We do not produce one-third of the
poultry products that are consumed
in this State and shipments are re-
ceiVed every day from adjoining
states because our neighbors have
taken advantage of the opportunity
Locally the cause has been neglected
We are not keeping step with other
states and other communities simply
because we have not given the matter
the attention and thought that our
nelghbors have who are shipping to
our markets. Winslow needs a field
Representatives; she needs a poultry
experiment station and it would
seem that it is all because the poul-
try raisers have not gotten together
in cooperative spirit. Navajo
county has hundreds of poultry rails

standard varieties of poultry are
raised in this county as will be found
anywhere and yet orders are going
out almost every day to- other states
for no better breeds than we have at
home. There is no work more pro-
fitable than raising chickens in Win

the local papers and getting the
benefits of poultry organizations.

Let us get together Start our or

doing SO Droftably Let us have
some of this publicity that belongs
TO the community. Let's make better
use of our back yards and make that
area dividend paying, instead of an
expense, by the raising of some well
bred and good laying hens. You will
be surprised at the cut it will make
in your meat and egg account and
you will have demonstrated to

as we'll raise chickens and produce
eggs to meet its own demands as can
any other state. Cooperation among
the poultrymen, the study of condi-
tlons, and a little effort will result
IN the building up of poultry bust
ness in Navajo county that will be
second to none in the State and will
assist in bringing the State into the
records of the poultry business of
the nation. The enthusiasts of Win
