The biggest poultry show ever
held i'll Delaware was seen III the
Community Building in Milford on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
uf this week. The show, which was
conducted by special committee OF
the Delaware State Poultry Asso-
citation, was open to all poultry
growers in Delaware and drew d
large number of entries. The num-
Der of entries in the various classes
were as follows: 159 exhibition
pens, 81 production pens, 10 bro1ler
pens, 20 exhibitions of day-old
chicks, As dozen eggs and 164 square
feet were devoted to the exhibition
of various feeds, remedies, brood
ers and other commercial supplies
and equipment.
On Tuesday evening, M. c. Kilpat-
rick, superintendent of breeding at
the Marvel Poultry Farm, George
town, delivered a very interesting
lecture. Taking as his subject,
Methods of Feeding" Mr.. Kilpat-
rick emphasized above all methods
of feeding the Chicken sense" es-
sential to the successful raising of
chickens, that is, the importance OF
knowing instinctively just how to
deal with chickens, which is found
to be lacking in the unsuccessful
poultryman. He told of the good
done by commercial feed men in an
educational way. He then went on
to speak of the pros and cons OF the
all-mash method of feeding, express
ing his own idea to the effect that
mash should be kept before the
birds at all times from babyhOod
throughout their lives. He said
that most of the grain should be
fed in hoppers for sanitary reasons
hut that at least a small part should
be fed in the litter III order to
cause the birds to stir up the litter
and keep it dry.
Professor w. H. Rice, who was
scheduled to speak also on Tuesday
evening, was i'll and therefore un-
able to be present.
On Wednesday evening, Professor
Roy E Jones, extension poultryman
OF StoArs, Conn, gave an illustrated
lecture on the results of his Grow
Healthy Chick Campaign" conduct
ed in Connecticut for the past two
years. This lecture was of espec-
ial interest to the poultrymen of
Delaware. AS a result of the CAM
paign in Connecticut the mortality
of day-old chicks has been reduced
from 33 per cent to less than 10 per
cent.
