ANNOUNCE PLANS FUR YEARS WORK
 IF POULTRY ASST

Plans for a series of educational meetings during the winter and spring, and for a year of great activ- ity eliminating in a 1922 poultry show even greater than the one held last month, have been announced by the Maricopa County Poultry asso- citation in the following letter to members:
 With the 1921 show a matter of successful history. the officers of the association are planning a year of great activity. eliminating with the 1922 show, to be held, in all prob ability, next December.
 The recent annual exhibition seems to have aroused an immense amount of latent interest in the poultry in. dustry. Even discounting a certain amount of enthusiasm naturally created at the time of the show, IL would seem that the constructive and progressive work of the association, during this past year, has struck a responsive chord. The poultry pro- ducers of the valley are beginning to
 realize that purebred stock. proper methods of feeding, breeding, incu- batting and housing. and a co-operat- i've organization with real cooperative spirit tAlsltiS dinOnS us IllSIlpeIS furnish the only foundation upon which the industry can be built up. Our position as a great poultry center cannot, however, be attained in day by any short cut methods It has got to be a gradual develop ment from a firm foundation and ! one of the first necessities is the | perfection of strong poultry or | ganiation to furnish the responsible ! leadership. If you have not already 1 joined the association, you are urged | to do so at this time. The payment ! of Sl.00 covers your dues for the years 1921 and 1922.
 To make our monthly meetings of
 more practical benefit, it has been | decided to set aside a portion of each
 one of the next six monthly meetings | to a sort of poultry institute, cover | ing certain breeds each month. Ad-
 dresses will be made by the best
 qualified local breeders of the several varieties of the different breeds. the
 1915 standard of perfection for them l will be read and explained, and. by
 the aid of live birds, the good and
 the bad features of the specimens
 shown will be pointed out. In this manner. those not we'll posted on the qualities a standard bred bird should ! possess. will be taught one of the ! fundamentals poultry breeder
 should know. A general discussion
 will take place. bringing out an ex-
 change of views. practices and ex-
 periences, which should prove o
 great educational value
