marriage as its theme, as its pro-

that the old idea that marriage is a

POULTRY JUDGING
SCHOOLS IN AUGUST
rCOntinasd from first bagel


Gated in the communities that show
the most interest and guarantee the
largest regular attendance. Each
school will continue for two days.
One big reason why some poultry
men are more prosperous than 9TH
ers is because they examine their
birds frequently and keep the culls
picked out of the flocks. They are
able to do this because of the
discovery of certain points that
makes it possible to distinguish be-
tween good layers and poor layers
by a close physical examination. 1t
is a simple matter to learn what
these points are, but considerable
study and practice is needed to en-
able one to do accurate judging.
The Delaware State Poultry As
sociation has had 100 pullets trap
nested for use in these schools.
These pullets will be used for prac-
tice judging and final examinations.
The Delaware State Board of Agri-
culture is planning to allow two of
their expert cullers to assist in Civ
ing practical instruction at each of
these schools.
Each person who attends school
will pay tuition fee of one dollar.
The poultrymen in each community
where a school is held must furnish
the hall and electric lights. 1t costs
about $4,000 for a Delaware poul-
tryman to attend a school of this
kind at Cornell University.
Poultrymen who would like to
have one of these schools located in
their community should write their
County Agent by July 1st, in order
that he may know how many in
each community are interested.

Figures on births and deaths
