At everybody "'knows, residents of vil lages and of the suburbs of cities are as frequently as no* found keep ing backyard flocks of poultry. Some thing more than half a million such backyard flocks are estimated by the Federal Department of Agriculture which has computed the total num ber of farm flocks at 5% million or a total of about six million flocks in all. <f ?Poultry is raised on more than ?3 per cent of the farms of the country. About 85 per cent of the fowls are raised on general farms in flocks of 50 to 400 hens, principally in the grain producing north central states. The number of chickens on farms in 1920 was about 442,000,000, with a valine of half a billion dollars, The income from chickens and eggs was around 10 per cent of all farm in come in 1928, being estimated at 1717,000,000 for eggs and $458,OO0jflDO for chickens, or a total of.$1,175,000, 000 from farm production. Poultry products, were exceeded in value in 1928 by only four other farm pro ducts?corn, milk, swine and cotton. Over 2,500,000,000 dozen eggs and more than 500,000,000 fhicks are produced annually. The poultry industry of the United States represents on the one hand a widely distributed enterprise supple mental to general farming, ami on the other hand a widely distributed enterprise supplemental to general fawning, and on the other hand a high.degree of specialization in com mercial plants. In producing sections near the larger cities on the Atlantic seaboard and in the Pacific coast Ststss of California, Oregon ana Washington, there are areas in whieR commercial poultry production pre dominates. In other localities, the keeping of poultry for breeding soctk and for the production of eggs hatching is important, the baby cHx being sold to those who keep both large and small flocks for commer cialized egg production. Throughout the farm production areas as well as in the coxuinei^dhl poultry districts are many highly specialized egg-packing plants, pool try feeding and slaughtering plants; poultry , canning plants, and egg breaking plants, while cold storage warehouses are devoted to an im portant extent to the storing of poul try products. Although the industry is made up primarily of producers and handlers of chickens and chickens eggs, the turkey, duck and goose production is also important Few products are as widely distributed and consumed as poultry meat and eggs, The poultry industry has developed from a small beginning when the first settlers brought fowls to North America, and the. production of poul try for meat and eggs has &een an important source of food supply for flie cities for over 100 yea** TKb commercial development of plants de-j voted tp-poultry raising alone began qbbut 1879, and thereafter ingqased ing and management In about 1878 standards were developed; and ^ 1874 the first standard of perfection was printed.

State College last week vias attended by approximately 1200 registering and hundreds of others who attended only for some special session. The convention this year was a made in Carolina edition. There were few outside-speakers or lecturers but the occasion was made notable by the deep thoughtfulness and constructive suggestions offered by the farm men and women present as well as by the speakers selected by the program committee. There was something of interest to every rural citizen. In addition there was music, recreation, sight-seeing trips, contests, demon strations and1 other activities to break the continuous round of lecturers arid speeches. Probably the most enjoyable fea ture of the week, in the. opinion of most visitors, were the vesper ser vices held on the campus each after noon. The 17th field artillery band from Fort Bragg gave an hour's conceit followed by community sing ing and short speaking exercises; The joint sessions of men arid women each morning at 11 o'clock in PuflenHall were addressed by leaders in various lines of agricul tural and governmental work in the state. . Those events coupled with the coarse of instructural lectures given in the class rooms each morning from eight until eleven o'clock gave the convention the well balanced pro gram which causes it to attract hun dreds of North Carolina farm leaders each successive summer. T^tenpsa of the tobacco crop this season and the heavy infestation of boll weevil in the cotton tfielda was given a* the reason for fewer men attending this year than last.
