BETTER POULTRY IN STATE AND

FIVE DAY POULTRY JUDGING
SCHOOL TO BE HELD IN AUGUST
Practical CulIing and Selection of
Breeders Will be Demonstrated as
Well as Other Things

For the genefit of poultrymen who
are interested in learning more about
the subject Of practical culling and Sc
lection Of breeders, the Extension De-
partment Of the University of Della
ware is arranging to conduct five
Paultry Judging schools in the State
during the month of August. These
schools will be located in the commun-
tiles that show the most intesest and
guarantee the largest regular attend
ance. Each schol will continue for
two days. One judging school of this
kind was held last year in Hockessin.
at which about 20 poultrymen and
women We're in attendance. The local
committee in charge of last years
school were: w. C. Matthews, Presi-
dent of the Delaware State Poultry
Association; Mrs. Horace Dennison;
and Wilson 7. Pierson. One big rea-
son why some poultrymen are more
prosperous than others is because they
examine their birds frequently and
keep the culls picked out of their
fiocks. They are abole to do this be-
cause of the discovery of certain
points that makes it possible to dis
tinguish between good layers and poor
layers by a close physical examina-
ton. 1t is a simple matter to learn
what these points are but considerable
study and practice is needed to enable
one to do accurate judging. The Del
aware State Poultry Association has
had 100 pullets trapnested for use in
these schools. These pullets will be
used for practice judging and final ex-
aminations. The Delaware State
Board of Agriculture is planning to
allow two of their expert cullers to
assist in giving practical instruction
at each of these schools. Each per-
son who attends a school will pay a
tuition fee Of one dollar. The poultry
