POULTRY IN THIS STATE. Home Demonstration Worker* Make Splendid Showing in Poultry in 1922. Poultry work in South Carolina i1 linn neyer had a brighter future. The increase in production and the improvement in breeding has never been greater in any one year than in 1922. Under the supervision of the Home Demonstration Department, 39 Women's Clubs with 008 members, 30 Community and 3 County Poultry As sociations with a membership of 629 men and women, and 56 Boys' and Girls' Clubs with 039 members, have had instruction and individual help in poultry culture. The number of pure-bred fowls raised last year was 29,870 as compared with 117,750 this year. The total value of poultry products sold and used at home amounts to $135,508.20. Reports from the county agents show that more than 301 meetings have been held with Hoys' and Girls' clubs and equally as many with adults. Much marketing of poultry has been done by the agents, and all found ready sale on the South Carolina markets. Of the $00, 930.48 brought from the poultry sold a great part of it found sale through the help and suggestions of th<> Home Demonstration Agents. Several large poultry farms have l>een established this year. One is keeping this winter 3,000 layers, and a number have as many as 1,000 hens. Numbers of large incubators have been installed and baby chicks by the thousands will be turned out next spring. No state is better suited for the production of poultry than South Car olina and with a little more time, our farmers and breeders w&l keep pace with the best of poultry producing states, - From an account of what Judge Card, Connecticut, had to say about the quality of the Reds at the South Carolina Rhode Island Show at Ches terfield: 'In variety, South Carolina R. I. Reds of single comb variety are on par with any exhibit ever staged in an Eastern Show, includ ing the biggest city and hub of the universe. As a Northern and Eas tern .Judge who has handled the world's best, I am stating without equivocation or mental reservation that this grand class of Reds at Chesterfield was far superior to any exhibit I have judged this season, and would compare favorably with the best winter shows North, East, and West."
