POULTRY ASSO
CIATION NEWS
Jackson County Poultry Associa
tion met in regular monthly session
Friday night, the 4th. with a splen
did attendance.
Matters of general interest and of
special importance 10 the Association
were discussed, and the officers will
be in position.' at once to advise mem
bers as to prices and methods ot
marketing. It was announced that
State Poultry Expert Oliver wiW
spend a week here in September,
completing plans for a county chick
hatchery. A hatchery will mean more
to Jackson than many persons are
aware, and) we feel sure that the
combined efforts of the state, thru
Mr. Tillson, and of our club, through
every member, wilj meet with success
right away.
With the high type of! membersli/i>
the elub has to build upon and with
the several advantages membership
offers, wei insist that all persons in
terested in chickens to any extent at
all, join up with us at once. Please
do not wait until the poultry show
or worse still, until next spring, but
send or hand to either of the under
signed, one dollar, which pays all
dues to the first day of next Jan
uary. In order to make the proposi
tion involving this dollar still more
interesting, we will give you twelve
months subscription to a big, first
class poultry magazine, and if you
already take one we will give you
another, or year's extension to the
one you have.
Education in the many branches
and in all the details of poultry may
be had from the pages of a good
poultry journal. It will be a favor to
the association, and will work the
county at large a good turn, if you
will join, and get several others to
do likewise.
There will l?e ^fublished, shortly,
full plans of the December show
which we feel sure is going to be a
success and a real entertainment for
the public at large. It was decided at
last Friday's meeting that all breeds
and varieties of poultry would be ac
cepted for exhibition, and that en- (
tries would be accepted up to nine
o 'clock of- the day of the show. These
statements will correct these points,
which appeared differently in a for
mer announcement.
| All members are rehuested to keep
financial records, as nearly accurate
as possible, from baby chicks upward
for the general enlightment and good
of the industry in the county.
The next meeting will be held :'t
Cullowhee, on the first Friday ni^ ;t
in July, and everyone whether a poul
tryman or not, is invited and will' ho
welcome.
