Mrs. Sarah Scott left for Kansas Poultry “Field Meetings” Mountain Grove, Mo., May, 1913 Dear Friend:—The State Poultry Experiment Station and the State Poultry Board are preparing to hold. five ‘Field Meetings” during this summer, one in each quarter section and one in the central part of the central part of the state. Where shall these be held? We expect to have an all day meeting in some nearby grove or on the farm of some good poultry raiser. Part of the at- tractions will be music and a big basket dinner which must consist of more or less fried chicken. We will have such speakers as Prof. W. A. Lippincott of Kansas, Prof. A. G. Phillips and Otis Crane of Indiana, Prof. H. C. Pierce of the United States Department of Food — Research and a number of poultry experts from other states as well as a lot of Missouri talent, including men and women. We will not hold guch a meeting at any place if itis not backed by the busines men and the poultry risers of that section of fhe state. Wécan make these wotidler- ~~ fully helpful and pleasant occasions, aiid must have big crowds. A good time is insured éVetybody. Will you co-operate? Where shall these be held? To one poultry association in every county, the State Poultry Board and the Poultry Experiment Station at Mountain Grove have decided to of- fer $20.00 in cash prizes and also put on an educational exhibit or perhaps hold a poultry institute at the same time and place. The cash prize is to be divided as follows: $10.00 for the largest and best display of one variety shown by a member of the State As- sociation, and $10.00 for the largest and best display of more than one variety shown by a member of the State Association. Can you suggest any better way to offer these prizes? The members living in each county decide by vote at which show they want the prizes offered and the institute, etc., hold. The educational exhibit will consist of model poultry houses, coops, trap nests, hoppers, poultry eggs, pic- tures, charts, etc. Membership in the State Poultry Association is to remain at 50c a year. If you have y suggestions or can offer a better plan, we would like very much to hear from you. If any Association wants these prizes, the exhibit and lectures on poultry in connection with their show this fall and winter, the secretary and officers of same had better write T. E. Quisenberry at once. Write when- ever you have anything to offer. Where should we have those five Mrs. D. H. Arbogast is quite poor- Born: May 12th to Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland Mullies, a girl.
