Poultry Pilgrimage
 Planned For Sept. 13
Individual Raisers Urged to Form Own Parties-Rye
 Beach, N. H., to Be Meeting Place

Professor Roy E. Jones, Con- necticut's Extension poultry spe- cialist, who is continually passing on to the poultrymen of his state new ideas pertaining to more prof itable poultry production, is also a strong advocator of having Con- necticut poultrymen cross state lines and sec what is being done poultry-w wise in other states. As a result, each summer we find Pro- lessor Jones outlining a field trip which poultrymen know full well will have packed into it plans for the most profitable and pleasant trip possible.
 In keeping with his reputation of directing tours in the vicinity of greatest poultry activity, it was not at all surprising to many of the poultrymen when he announced that the trip this year would con- sist of a poultry pilgrimage to the Northeastern Poultry Producers Councils meeting at Rye Beach, N. H.
 Instead of following the usual custom of travelling as a group and visiting a number of poultry farms enroute, the members of the pill grimage, will, this year, travel as individuals or in f-organiZed groups, assembling at the Ferragut House in Rye Beach, N. H. the morning of September 13. Travel ing in this manner will enable those who wish, to visit many points of historical interest be- tween Connecticut and New Hamp- shire.
 The meeting of the Northeastern Producers Council this year prom ises to be the largest and best the council has ever held. The officers of the association have prepared an unusually interesting meeting, including speakers of national re- pute, such as J. A. Hannah, man. aging agent of the National Com mercial and Breeder-Hatchery code; w. D. Termohlen, in charge of the poultry division of the A. A. A.; H. l.. Schrader, senior exten- sion poultryman of the Bureau of Animal Industry, U. S. D. A.; and many others.
 The program presented will in- clude the latest activities on the Breeder Hatchery code, with par ticular application to its effect in the Northeastern Poultry Pro- ducers' Council territory; latest de- velopments in the new U. s. Uni form Breeding program; the latest developments in marketing; poul- try nutrition; poultry shows; egg laying contests: poultry disease control; and even demonstrations on chick-seXing. Poultrymen who are interested in recent local and national events and their effect on business, cannot afford to miss this | meeting.
