 In the whole country there at the time of the taking of the 35s,5S7SS5 chickens which produced 1,574, ,s79,416 dozen eggs
 We regret to record that Arizona did not make flattering showing. wealth in chickens is only 4s5o65 which produced only 2,524,S32 eggs We stand third from the bottom exceeding only in their order Rhode Island Nevada and the District of Columbia.
 After all. when we come think of it the propor- tion of chickens in Arizona bears about the laton to the number of chickens in other subdivi- sions of the country human population bears theirs. and except u the of the District of Columbia where the chicken industry is over shadowed by the congressional industry. not 'con- gressional industry"
