who, heretofore. looked upon poul-
try as a farm industry left the show

struct small coops in their back
yards. where five or six hens can be
maintained at nominal cost.
one reason for their decision was
reached after the exhibit Of twelve
dozen or more eggs on display had
been viewed and admired. This dis
play consists OF eggs from White
