The potiltrymen of a community ( usually combine for the promotion of an Jnual shows, and for an exchange of Ideas, j The past has demonstrated the hentllt I of these associations, which nie rapidly 'glowing In numhors. At their annual i on'cuiigs aie nearu icailliur authorities on poultry topics or vital Interest to the I industry.

The lawyers have their bar as-oi'in-, lions, the nieiehauts their bonids of trade, the teachers their teachers' asso ciations, the laboilng man hit local l.i 1 hor union, according to his trade, I Hence, it Ik nee,..-sitrv that the poultiv i Interests also hale their local and na I lloual oi'Kanhtatlons.

I! A P.IKS. I Many poultry associations also niain- l.iin a public library for their members. Poultry hooks, like all specialty books, .no cosily, and the individual poiiltiy innn can hardlv afford to buy an ex tensive lihiarv. hut through the local association a good library on a wide range of topics can be secured at a reasonable assessment lrom each mem ber. From .Mm to J1)'' I" required to purchase a respectable poultry library, and the average potiltrMiian would hesi tnte to tint this much money Into Imoks, even thuiigh they aie the guide-posts to succe-HS. Yi t all nssoiiatlou of 2.1" members, b.i assessing each member ?2 for library purposes, can secure an ex cellent library without any individual member contributing an amount that would hurt financially. Where the local poultry association holds a show, of course the member who Is public spirited enough to conttlbute hv joining Is help ing In a good cause. Without the local organization It would be Impossible to hold a local poultry show While this Is of Inclin e I benefit, yet It is a benefit that is to lie considered, Ix-cause the local STEVENS FARM SOLD.
