Poultry Club Specialist.

Poultry Club Specialist.
In each state wherein this form of
club work has been inaugurated by
the department in cooperation with
the state agricultural college a poul-
try club specialist has been located to
foster such work. In every instance
these specialists have been thoroughly
practical poultrymen and possessed of
the ability of imparting their knowl-
edge In practical way. These agents
devote their entire time to such organ
lzation work among the children, and
act as subject matter specialists in dis
seminating such informaticr as is
necessary to carry on the work.
Throughout the year each of the
agents In charge assists the members
in every possible way by means of in
structive talks before representative
clubs, by giving demonstrations, i'm
pressing the fundamental principles
and by visiting the members homes,
giving such information and demon
strations as can be practically applied
in each case. In addition to such in
structions, these state agents make it
point to give helpful lectures and
demonstrations before the county farm
and home demonstration agents.
Each member enrolled in the poul-
try club is supplied with full set of
the Department Of Agricultures farm
ers' bulletins on poultry, together
with report book in which he is in
structed to keep definite and detailed
account of all his work, thereby show
ing the accomplishments and results
as he proceeds from one operation to
another, and from one years work to
another. When properly filled out,
these reports show, at the end Of
season, complete record Of all
the member has done during the
club year. The object of these re-
quirements is not only to place be-
fore the member a record of activities
so that he can see his own shortcom-
ings, but, also, when correctly kept,
to give the state and county leaders
an opportunity to point out such de-
fects with view to correcting them
in future work.
Community Breeding Work.
In several of the counties where
poultry club work has been in prog
ress for several years, an effort has
been made and success secured in es-
tablishing a community breeding or
ganization, both among the children
and their parents. This plan has been
proved very practical. The object of
this form of organization has been to
secure in a community an association
that will devote all of it's efforts to
breeding and raising one specific va
riety of poultry. 1t is obvious that
when such practice is followed each
member will be better breeder Of
the breed selected by the club in that
each one will be closely associated
with his fellow members, and there
fore the experience Of each member in
breeding and raising the community
breed will become common knowledge.
Furthermore, such organizations estab-
lish a center which is In position
in many cases to furnish a uniform
product of high quality whether it be

E<A FL able national asset and,

~ I3Sl tant part Of the opera
tions of the farm. One of
the important factors, which has been
instrumental in bringing about the
realization Of the Importance of the
poultry industry, Is the establishment
of poultry clubs among the boys and
girls. Just as poultry-keeping was
sormerIv considered a minor branch
of farm work, so it was formerly
thought that the keeping of fowls was
purely AN activity for Adults. With
the development of other forms of
agricultural clubs among children, it
was found that there was a very def
mite place for, such clubs, having for
their object the production Of poultry.
In 1912 this project was formally
launched by the Federal Department
of Agriculture in the state of Vir-
ginia
The poultry club work was founded
scale; in other words, 1t was launched
very largely as an experiment to ascer-
tain it's popularity and practicable
lty. Thus, at the end of 1913, with
the success of the work as it was
carried on in Virginia in three coun-
were in position to know, and to
observe the results, concluded that this
form of club work had wide possibil-
tiles for effective results. 1t was found,
as a result of this first years work,
that the project was not only highly
practicable In accomplishing it's prin-
cipal object, namely, to interest the
boys and girls in rural sections in
raising poultry. but it was likewise
demonstrated that the people, in those
sections where the clubs were formed,
realized tho Importance of the work.
In view Of this success, poultry club
work was extended during the year
of 1914 to Georgia, Kentucky, North
and South Carolina and Tennessee.
The results that were obtained in
those states were practically repeti-
ton of the accomplishment of the idea
and purpose of this form Of organiza-
ton.
How the Clubs Were Organized.
The object of this work being to i'm
prove farm poultry and to place the
industry on a higher plane in rural
communities, such improvement was
invariably started by organizing clubs
among the children in the schools and
educating them as to the proper and
most practical methods of poultry
management best suited to local condi-
tions. Standardized poultry was, and
still is, the basic fundamental princi-
Pile upon which these organizations
were founded; that is, it was the ulti-
mate idea so to interest and encour-
age the members that they would be
able to dispose of their mongrel flocks,
which were by far in the majority,
and raise only standardized poultry,
and thus secure the increased returns
and benefits that such stock would
bring. Furthermore, the members
were encouraged to improve their poul-
try equipment to such an extent as
could be accomplished without the
expenditure of any great amount of
money. Consequently, practically the
only investment that the members Of
these clubs had to make was in pur-
chasing one or more settings of eggs
of pure-bred stock. Through the CO.
operation of local poultrymen reduced

NO REASON FOR CONFUSION
Christian Chronology Really Quite
Simple Matter Though It Requires
Little Explanation.

Using the birth of Our Lord as a
starting. point for counting time did
not become general until the Chris
tan religion had made considerable
progress. Some confusion arises from
overlooking the fact that the ancient
nations had their own systems and
their own starting points. For in
stance, the Romans counted from the
founding of their city, Rome, and
when Our Lord was born it was the
year 1853 according to Roman chronol-
ogy. Having taken the year in which
Our Lord was born as the starting
point of the new or Christian chronol-
ogy, the years preceding that starting
point could only be counted as years
before Christ and the farther you go
back into the past the greater, their
number, just as the greater the mum
Der the farther you come down from
the starting point towards the pres
ent. There is nothing confusing in
this, and the same principle is APP
piled on any through railway time
table. A transcontinental timetable
counts distances from terminal
both ways, one way east and the
other way west. In our chronology
the year of the birth of Our Lord is
the starting point, and the years are
counted both ways-those that had /
passed before that event and those
that have passed since that event.
This system is, of course, in use only
In Christian countries. The Jews be-
gin to count from the creation, and
there is no counting backwards be-
cause it is impossible to go back of
that event.

According to announcements recent

Atlanta. Ga, the Ku-Klux Khan is to
be organized in this state. A recent
statement outlined "purposes of the
organization, which derives its name
from the secret society that flourish
ed in the southern states for several
years after the Civil war, and which
had as its purpose intimidation of
the negroes and repression of politi-
cal power of the freedmen.
Finally. the Ku-Klux, made up of
restless and lawless elements, commit |
ted so many outrages, that, in 1871,
the federal government passed the
Force bill and took steps to sup
press this outlawry. It's activities
then ceased.
While the Ku-Klux, as reorganized,
nay have as its purpose the prompt
punishment of those guilty of crime,
while its members may ordinarily be
,nown as upright citizens, and while
heir actions may be intended to pro-
note good citizenship, the very fact
hat these secret organizations, by

institutes fragrant disregard for

In the matter of woodwork, the pop

When the walls and woodwork have

not overlook the fact that a window
can be made to seem higher by plac-
ing the curtain poles as near the
top of the easement as possible and
can accordingly be widened in eff
feet by having as little contrast as
possible between the curtain and the
overhanging and having the latter ex-
tend well to the side of the window

If the wall is figured. the hangings
should certainly be plain. With plain
walls, either plain or figured over
irapes may be used as seems deslr-
able.
The color of rugs, hangingj, uphol-
Itering, cushions, lamp shades, should
be chosen with regard to the color
already used on the walls. If the room
seems too cold or too dark. the matter
is nicely remedied by the introduction
of red, rose, pink, yellow, or orange.
The brighter color may appear in the
design or be used plain in lamp

The tendency to plain effects is seen
in modern rugs and hangings, but if
the room otherwise seems too plain
and spacious, figured hangings and
figured rugs will be admissible or de

When a room is completed, we

In line with the progressive policy
Of the Poinsettia Ice Cream company,
hey have erected in Lakeland a mod
ern concrete stone building on the
,crner of Massachusetts avenue and
aims five nicely finished store rooms,
all of which are occupied.
The Poinsettia company occupies
all of the second store and the back
half of the first room, the front part
of which houses the music store of
L. B. Whitmire and the office of A.
j. Peddy, the contractor The other
store rooms are occupied by O'Neil
Brothers, produce brokers, the Union
News Company and B. w. Mitchell,
who is opening second hand store
in the corner room in the west end
of the bui' ding.
The Lakeland branch of the Poin-
settia company is in charge of P V.
Fairchild, who handles the distribu :
ton of cream for Lakeland and Polk
county. The local plant has a stor-
age capacity of five hundred gallons
of cream Deliveries for Lakeland
are made by truck, while other points
in this territory are served by rail.
In erecting the new building here
the Poinsettia company has shown
its faith in Lakeland's future pros
perity and growth by reason of the
size of their investment, all of which
represents new capital invested in
Lakeland.
In speaking of their new branch
here, representative of the com
pany says: 1--WE feel that the citi-
zens of Lakeland have always appre-
ciated the service and quality OF

ate p ants in Tampa, St. Petersburg
and Orlando, and in adding Lakeland
to our list of establishments, we feel
that we are now interested in the four
most progressive cities in the state.
The building was erected by the
contracting firm of DISQUALIFICATION
Company and the plumbing was the
work of E. M. Watts.
