For lo, the days are hastening on,
By prophet bards foretold,
When with the ever circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.?

JACKSON COUNTY POULTRY
ASSOCIATION TO HAVE
CHICKEN STEW JANUARY 8
The program committee of J&ekson
County Poultry Association have de
cided that on Friday night of Jan
uary 8th they will add a special
feature to the program and meeting.
In the meantime the present mem
bers of the association are all aiding
the membership committee in putting
on a special drive to secure as mem
bers of the association any and, all
farmers and business men of Jack
son county who are or should be in
terested in more and better poultry.
We have already found as stated
before that thru the association we
can secure baby chicks of better
breeding at a saving of 15 per cent,
brooders and equipment at 20 per
cjnt and feed and oth<fr supplies ap
proximately the same. Then when wo
n (
go to market with eggs and poultry
wo are sure of a steady market with,
much better prices than the averago
individual can get. Then from a
business standpoint farmers should
ioin the association and cooperate
with their neighbors to make poultry
pay most.
Write or see Roy Allison or Ben
Cathey about your membership in
the association.
These advantages mentioned above
come only to members of the asso
ciation and the chicken stew is fur
nished free to all members. Plan to at
tend this program on the 8th, enjoy
he stew and help work out the plans
for the year of poultry develop
ment.
