SUGGESTIONS 



1. Reference has been made several times in the preceding chap- 

 ters to the importance of organizing boys or girls or adults in a com- 

 munity interested in poultry into an association or club. With this 

 thought in mind^ the suggestions contained in this chapter have been 

 offered. There is no question that those interested in poultry keeping 

 would be considerably benefited by organizing themselves into a club 

 or association. This applies to boys and girls as well as owners of 

 back-yard flocks, poultrymen, and farmers. Boys and girls should 

 secure the help of their teacher, who in most oases will be only too glad 

 to assist in the organization. Owners of back-yard flocks, poultrymen, 

 or farmers, should seek the co-operation of their county agricultural 

 agent, who in turn will render every possible assistance in perfecting 

 such an organization as it might be desirable to form. 



2. Consider carefully the advantages of a community poultry 

 breeding association, reaUzine what can be accomplished when one 

 breed and variety of standard-bred fowls is produced by a number of 

 people in one community. Such an organization, properly organized 

 and conducted, will be most instrumental in developing interest in 

 poultry among the members and in the community, to say nothing of 

 the financial benefits that can be derived. 



3. In the case of the boys' and girls' poultry club or a poultry 

 association formed among adults, the advantages of an aimual exhibit 

 should not be overlooked. The suggestions as given in Chapter XV 

 will be of considerable help in this connection.
