son to the entire list of four hundred
poultry raisers in Kent county, call
ing attention to the Importance of the
six main points of sanitation in the
growing of better and healthier
chicks The six practices which the
poultrymen are being asked to follow
this year are: (1) clean chicks, (2)
clean brooder houses, (3)clean ground
"a clean litter, (5) clean feed, and
(6) clean management, and these var
ious instruction letters which are be-
ing sent to the poultry farmers this
season contain detailed information
on these six points with the idea that
these suggestions and recommends
tions will be Of value in the solution
of many of the problems in the rails
ing of profitable f1ocks. In the cir
cular letter which was sent out few
weeks ago each poultry raiser receiv-
ed copy of instruction letter No. l,
prepared by Mr.. Palmer, and also
blue card on which to check all or as
many Of these sanitation points that
can be followed this year. These
cards are to be returned to the coun-
ty extension office, and at the end of
the season this information will be
summarized by the poultry specialist
with view to furnishing the poultry
farmers the results of this grow
healthy chicks campaign. In order
that this program may be of the
greatest benefit to the poultry indus
try as a whole, the cooperation of all
the poultry raisers is desired, and it
is hoped that many of them will re
turn their cards with the different
practices carefully checked. An effort
has been made to include in this pro-
ject everyone who is interested in
raising chickens, 50 those who are not
receiving this literature are request
ed to get in touch with the county
