POULTRY ASSOC'N
HOLDS PICNIC
ALSO EXHIBIT SUNDAY AT
MARATHON PARK-A
GOOD TURNOUT

The Central Wisconsin Poultry as
ISOLATION held its annual summer pic
mic at Marathon park Sunday, the
members and their families spending
an enjoyable day. Nineteen poultry
exhibits were shown and prizes were
awarded for the best specimens.
Asks Cooperation
]. B. Hayes, poultry expert Of the
animal husbandry department of the
Wisconsin state college of agriculture
was present and told of the work of
the association in the state. He made
a plea for the cooperation of local
poultry breeders with the aims of the
association and told how its purpose
was to place the industry on a sound
basis in the state. He emphasized the
profits are bound to accrue from we'll
kept focks Of pure bred fowls and how
the adherence to pure bred variety
results in constantly increasing pro-
ductiveness. A new system of grad
ing is proposed he said, whereby eggs
are to be sold according to quality
and not merely by the dozen. This
would give added incentive to the in |
PRODUCTION of pure bred fowls and |
both the producer and the buyer would |
profit by the added quality thus Sc
cured.
Rogan Speaks
County Agent VIM. ]. Rogan was in
troduced by James Adams. president
of the association, and in an interest
ing talk gave some facts out of his
experience with pure bred poultry.
Organization and unity" he said are
instrumental in bringing results in the
poultry business as they are in the
dairy industry. Cooperation makes
for unity in any organization Co
operation means that each man in the
should so behave that
his neighbor can work with him. Co
operation largely begins with each
Of us. We should be willing to allow I
our neighbor to work with us rather
than wait for him to take the initia-
tive"
Settings Obtained ]
Mr.. Rogan told of the clubs In Ju-
neau county and how, this year. the
of the county had obtained
about 100 settings of pure bred eggs !
through the county agents office. Re-
suits were obtained after about three
years. They were slow but sure and
he effect of the Improvement is stead
ly noted. The county agent. he stat
I'd, is always willing and ready to aid d
any one who asks for information or +
assistance. L
