Two mass meetings of poultry
be held Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings, April ~ and -, under the
direction of the farm bureau E0ul-
try committee and the agricultural
extension service.
The Tuesday meeting will be held

Two of the principal speakers will
he G. G. Keeney, manager of the

citation and Prof. w. +. Newton,
poultry specialist of the agricultur-
al extension service.
Association Needed
The need for a poultry market
ing association is urgent, according
to Farm Advisor Garthwaite, in
view of the fact that there is II
strenuous campaign going on in the
New York market by New Jersey
dealers tc discredit California eggs.
Figures also show that in 1919
there were 1854 million dozen of
eggs produced as against 1882 in
1922 but that the price steadily de-
clined from II cents dozen in 1919
to % cents a dozen in 1922. Sew
enty million more chickens were
raised in 1922 but the price drop
ped from so to 81, cents each.
For this reason up to date coop
Grating methods are more needed
now than ever before and it for this
purpose that the mass meetings and
poultry demonstrates which will
be put or next week have been
! AIMED.
