.I- '. . Entered April 28, 190 at Pickons, d. m) asseond class matter, under sot of Ocugress of March 8, 1879. h VO ~L gofs nMB, OU!C LINA, ?mgmSD ociomI loco POULIR At a meeting of the Poultry Association, held on the 24th! ult., there* was not as large an attendance as was desirable, but those who were there were "keyed up to the top notch," and if this enthusiasm does not ooze out before Dec.' 2d, the Pickens County Poultry Show will be one of the best ever in the South. Exhibitors from a distance - are daily writing for informa tion and for premium lists. They state they heard a great deal of the show last year and that they will be competitors this season. Those who exhib ited from a distance last year will be with us this year and will try to get their friends to exhibit. They speak in the highest terms of praise of their treatment and of the excellent condition of their birds on their return from the show. For all of which the Poultry Associa tion is extremely grateful. At this meeting committees were appointed and urged to go to work. There will be no more meetings held except c6mmittee meetings until after the fair. Those wishing to become mem bers can make application to the secretary or president,or through any member. The finance committee are at work soliciting subscriptions to help defray the expenses of the show;,' the committee on pre mium list are at work prepar ing the copy for the printer; the conmmittee on advertising are working the business world to take space in the premium list and want all the patronage they can get. If you want to sell chickens. eggs, cattle, horses, feed-stuff, farms, hardware, drugs, dry-goods, or what not, put it in this premium-list, and this nediun is a mighty good one through which to reach the people. This associatlion is a wonder f it helper in the development of the fine-breed-of-chickens indus try, and we know of several pens of birds that have been re cently )ought for no other rea son than to exhibit at this show. Others who visited thdshowv last year have procured improved1 breeds for the money there is in thenm, and the chicken industry, am a whole, inx this colminy, is on a boom. What are you~ going to ex hibit? The association has ar ranged for the judge to be on hand two days-one day will be spent on pointing up the chick-* ens and one day wvill be devoted to talks on chickens. He will impart lots of inftormation on the care and raising of chickens that is the actual and practical experience of a m'an who has devoted a whole lifetime to this one industry, and which it will take you a lifetime to learn for yourself. This talk, while it is intended for the members of the * ~ association, will be free to all who are in the. hall at the time, amt will be worth hearing. Ainothei' feature this year will *be coupo.1 tkets and-the hold e of luckyi coupon~s will be Y SHOW and publishtd later.- :nis, o itself, should insure a large at tendance on each day. Another innovation is th( grading or pointing for defects of chickens, not competing foi prizes, and belonging to novicel who do not know what to looli for in a breeder or exhibitior fowl. Any one can enter theii chickens for this judging upor the paying of a nominal sum, only 10c, but they cannot entei these chickens in the rekulai competitive contest. They musi keep their chickens away until that day and 'will be allowed space which will be set apart for 'them at the time. If you think you have a pretty good pullet or cockerel, this is thE chance to find out whether you had better keep them for breed erf or put them on the market for broilers. The management are very much enthused over the outlook for the fair and are meeting with much encouragement. Frc m present indications it will be as much of a success as thE agricultural fair was. Let every member work and work hare from now until' the time foi holding it.. Do not wait foi th( other fellow to do it, but wort yourself and the fair will be f success. Six Mile.
