A good deal of interest in poultry
has developed in Franklin county
1 this week through three meetings
conducted by the poultry specialist
of the extension service. 0. NJ. Will
, bur- assisted by the county agent,
! George NJ. Lord, the meetings being
held in Pennington, Phillips and
Strong. The matter of proper feed
/ ing was taken up in the forenoon
each day. At noon there was each
day a picnic dinner, and at the af-
ternoon sessions management was
, the subject considered. One thing
of importance that did not seem to
be generally understood, was shown,
/ that is. that material saving can
be made by the poultryman who
buys the various ingredients sepa-
! rately and mixes his own dry mash
and scratch feed, and many times
the quality is at the same time
greatly improved.
