While the executive committee was
in session, H. S. Palmer, secretary,
presented two letters about which he
wanted their advice. One was a let
ter from Prof. James E. Rice of Cor
nell University, asking for sugges-
tions fro mthe poultrymen of Della
ware on a proposed National Uni
form Plan of Poultry Standardiza-
ton and AccreditizatiOn of Breeding
Stock, Hatching Eggs and Chicks.
After considerable discussion, the
committee passed a motion indors1ng
the plan on which DR.. Frank Hare,
Poultry Pathologist of the State
Board of Agriculture, working;
namely, that f1ocks tested once and
officially culled be called "Supervis-
ed Flocks," and focks passing two
consecutive free bacillary white di-
arrhea tests an doficially culled be
called "B. w. D. Accredited" and
that as soon as conditions would per-
nit, Delaware should follow the pro-
posed national plan as laid out by
Prof. Rice.
The other letter was from Prof.
Harry R. Lewis, president Of the
National Poultry Council, in which
he invited Delaware to become a
member of that council which is do
ing so much for the poultry indus
try. Action on this question, however,
was deferred until after the member
ship drive has been made.
The Delaware State Poultry Asso-
citation deserves the support and CO.
operation of every poultry raiser in
each of the three counties, and the
members of the executive committee
hope that their efforts to date will
bear much frui toward the welding
together of the poultry interests OF
the state into such an organization
that will prove of mutual benefit to
those who become associated with it.
