BREEDS AND VARIETIES 43 



4. If mongrels predominate in your section, do you not think 

 there is a great need for an organization that will have as one of its 

 objects the improvement of stock in your community? Standard- 

 bred poultry means greater interest and increased revenue, both of 

 which help to make a better community. 



5. Should you organize a poultry club or should there be one 

 already organized, do not limit it to townspeople, but invite the farm- 

 ers and their wives to join as well as the boys and girls of the town 

 and country. Everybody is interested in poultry.
