Ell up, and Mr.. ]. E. Turner a new
member of the association gave a
most interesting and valuable talk on
the possibilities of poultry raising in
this section, and pointed out very
wildly that from bank records of
which he was familiar which showed
that where people had become active
ly engaged in dairying and poultry
raising, that they were payers and de
positors rather than borrowers, and all
together was one of the best talks on
poultry that has been made at all.
Mr.. J. Pope Teal who has charge of
the Fitzgerald Hatchery was next on
the program and made a most inter-
/ esting talk on Matching, and gave out
some figures that were certainly graf
| flying, stating that forty thousand
chicks had been thus far Matched out
and that ten thousand eggs was at that
time in the hatchery, further stating
that less than one thousadn of these
baby chicks had been shipped out of
the county, showing conclusively that
the people of Ben Hill County were
in for poultry raising.

Railway Co., gave very timely talk
ron the possibilities of operating live
poultry car from Americas to Savar-
nah making it total of 80 stops for the
