WILL EXHIBIT POULTRY
AT NEW YORK SHOW
Raleigh, N. C., Jan 31.—Four-H
club members of North Carolina will
be represented at the first national
4-H club poultry show to be held at
the Madison Square Garden Poultry
Show, January 16 to 20.
"Through the courtesy of a num
ber of our commercial friends, we
find it possible to send a representa
tive exhibit of poultry club birds to
the first national 4-H poultry show
in New York," says C. F. Parrish,
extension poultry specialist at State
College. "It is our purpose to send
an exhibit of Plymouth Rocks, Wyan
dottes and Leghorn breeds. These
are three of the major classes and
we have some excellent birds which
have been bred and reared by poultry
club members. At least 40 birds will
be carried to New York and we shall
enter them in both the club and open
classes."
Mr. Parrish says that most of the
birds were selected from the flocks
of club members residing in the pied
mont section of the State. Quite a
number will come from Catawba
County where the poultry club work
of County Agent J. W. Hendricks
has been outstanding for a number
of years. As now planned, Mr. Hen
dricks will accompany Mr. Parrish
and the exhibit to the Garden show.
For several years, North Carolina
has entered a number of club birds
at the show. The late Allen G. Oliver
won many t high place ribbons with
birds developed by farm boys and
girls in this State and now that a
special club show has been arrang
ed, Mr. Parrish is anxious that this
good reputation of the State be sus
tained.
He states that entries may be
made in each of four classes of
cocks, hens, cockerels and pullets.
At present, he expects to make en
tries in only the three breeds men
tioned but will have several varie
ties of these breeds.
A serious dteease called tularemia
may be contracted from sick rabbits.
Press notices recently carried the
story of such an occurence in Ran
dolph County.
