INTEREST IN POULTRY
IS GROWING RAPIDLY
That a state which only a little more
than thirty years ago was depending
aolely upon prairie chicluna as fowl for
the table should in that time build up
farm flocks to number 11,912.584
seems siifticieat proof of the state
meet that intereat in poultry in Ok la
homa ts growing by lespa and bounds
But farmers might have done that
by the use of mongrel hens, if the hens
laid well enough
Tha most encouraging feature is
that farmers no longer are willing to
continue merely "raisin' chickens"
as a neglected sideline; they 're going
in now ti> make it a "poultry industry"
— placing it on a business and acientiflc
basis
One indication of this ia the fact thai
almost four thousand poultry shows
were held last year, including state,
county and school district exhibits.
Another is that, at the request of
farmer*. country agents and experts
from the Extension Division of l)kla>
homa A and M College, during that
year, held more than 2,000 cullng
demonstrations in the various counties.
