Of ones own breeding are staged
against those Of other poultry breed
ers the coparison brirgs out points
which otherwise would probably
never be noticed or valued.
2. Participation in POETRY
show helps to place the correct
value on fowls which are later to
be used in the breeding pens, Tor
awards in poultry shows are based
en- those points which establish quail
ity and sale value in fowls.
3. Placing fowls in poultry
show helps to determine the al
vancement being made in the dc
velopment Of ones strain or family
cf fowls. No commercial poultry
man in these days should allow i
I4year to pass without making a step
forward in the matter Of efficiency
and productive capacity in his flock.
4. BY sending entries to a re-
cognized poultry exhibition poul-
tryman becomes a more active part
Of the great industry IN which he IS
greatly interested. Few poultrynlen
! these days can afford to stay out
Of the organized activities of this
industry.
5. Tt is essential that a CONNER
cial poultryman who is a poultry
raiser engaged in some part Of
poultry raising for profit, be well
known to the poultry-buying public.
There is undoubtedly no better way
in which he can get before the pub
lie than to take part in a public poul

and legitimate means of advertising

There are several concrete reas-
ons why it is often valuable pro-
jet for a poultry association to I'M
dertake the staging Of po4ltry
show.
/. A poultry exhibition awaEens
interest among members, chiefly
through giving them definite piece
Of work to do.
2. A poultry exhibition ar2hsea
active support through furnishing
well organized, healthy compcti-
ton.
3. A poultry show brings TO-
gether fowls Of quality and va
riety; an educational feature Of
the greatest importance, not only
to association members, but ais, to
all people attending che exhibition.
a. A poultry exhibition aids an
association in keeping abreast Of
the times, familiar with new breeds
and the developments in strains OF
the olde1 breeds and varieties
5. 1t locates valuable breeding
stock, both for the buyer Of e%hibl-
ton fowls and the commercial poul-
tryman.
6. 1t advertises in a definite and
specific way.
Z. It builds up and promotes in
terest in breeding and raising p9aL
try of finer quality
s. 1t offers opportunity for con-
structiye education in all phases OF
poultry exhibiting.
Why Enter Fowls In Poultry Show
When the system Of poultry eN
hibitions in Georgia is viewed as Z
constructive effort to forward TIE
cause of better quality in poultry
raised for any purpose whatsoever
the question as to why poultrymaa
should enter his fowls in exhibi-
tions becomes pertinent. Every
poultryman should seriously con
slider entering his fowls in either s
local poultry show or a state snow
or both, for the following reasons
l. Entry of fowls n a COMPETE
tive exhibit is of considerable va.qa
to the owner for he then gets some

man may have to offer the buying
public at any season of the year
The advertising possibilities Of an
entry in a poultry exhibition should
not be overlooked by the commerce
al poultgymaR.
Z. BY forcing keen competition
the average standard Of quality is
appreciably raised season by season.
When competition lag-;, ribbons so
to relatively less qualified fowls
but when many participate in the
show ribbons fall on the fowls
which have withstood comparison
with many competitors.
s. If the general poultry raieers
VIII take part in our organized poul-
try exhibits, their voice will become

specimens have been adjudged bet
ter than the others.
3. Look over the side exhibits,
including poultry supplies and equip
ment of all sorts; for new improve
ments are always being made, and
the manufacturers usually tura to
the poultry exhibitions as the ave-
nues through which they can most
directly reach the interested poultry
raisers.
A. Secure the advertising cards,

increasingly lOuueE IN the uelefful-
ration Of the trend which the de-
4 1elopment Of our shows shall take
! in the future. 1t is especially true
in Georgia that the poultry shows
and exhibitions annually hcid are
Of the type created by popular de-
mand. If one does noC take an &C
tive part in making the poultry ex-
hibitions a success he is scarcely in
position to criticise the Develop
ment which it takes.
8. There are possibilities of win
ming valuable awards and prizes
which have an advertising as we'll
as intrinsic value.
10. Practically every poultry
raiser experiences a certain quick
ching of interest in his work + he
puts it against that Of his fellows
and stands chance of winning 4

is obvious that the establishment If
cur American poultry exhibitions
has deepened the interest shown bg
American poultrymen in their bI8i-
ness. This was no small factor in
the development of our American
poultry industry into the billion dol
Tar industry which it is claimed to
be.
