Mrs. Carson Rote, the secretary, in
urging a larger showing of local
birds at this show says: There is
a good demand throughout the Coun-
ty for good standard bred poultry and
more of our local people should step
to the front in our home show and
secure the trade which is justly due
them with their fine birds. There are
many flocks of poultry in the sur
rounding community from which tine
strings of show birds could be select
ed. These birds would be credit to
any show and yet their owners have
never exhibited them. Bring in your
BIRDS" urges Mrs. Rote, "and let the
public know that you have them. This
is your show and the Poultry AS
sociation and the business men OF
Redwood Falls have gone to consider
able expense annually to give you
this good opportunity and to encour-
age good poultry raising. IT you DO

The poultry industry in the United
States is one of the most. profitable
branches of agriculture The Federal
census taken by the Department OF
Agriculture in 1920 shows that the
poultry products of the United
States exceed the value of all sle
;attle raised by $100,0O0,OOO and the
fruit and fruit products by nearly
S4OO, 100000" The Ad. Newman Com
3any has shipped ninety-one carloads
of poultry from Redwood Falls dur
.ng the past year. This is the ship
ment of a single dealer from a single
station and with many competing
shippers. Each carload contains
about 5,120 birds making a total OF
l65, $500 fowls shipped by this one
dealer in a single year. These fig
ures are sufficient evidence OF the
value and the possibilities of the
poultry industry. 1t is to promote
this industry that annual shows OF
poultry are held throughout the
country.
