Poultry Raising London, July 19, (A .P.)—In pro- posing the health of the American and Canadian delegates to the world poultry congress recently held in Bar- celona, who were entertained by the British government here, Minister of Agriculture Noel Buxton admitted Great Britain in poultry culture, but he added that he was proud of the fact that Great Britain’s breeding stock was in demand in other lands. Britain, he said, had not yet dev loped her poultry industry suffici- ently to meet her own demandt, but she supplied the market for other | people. The British government, the speak- er concluded, was very grateful to America for the courtesy shown to their representative, A. P. Francis, on the occassion of his visit to the United States last year for research work in poultry culture. : Wool production in the States last year was about 000 pounds.
