The Centre County Farm Bureau in cooperation with the Poultry Extension Department of the Pennsylvania State College, will hold a series of poultry selection meetings this summer to de- monstrate the common methods of de- termining whether a hen is laying or not and whether or not she has been a pro- fitable asset to the farm flock. County Agent, J. N. Robinson, is planning these meetings so as to reach as many people as possible, To know how to detect the boarder in the poultry flock, farmers and poultrymen should attend these meetings. Everyone will be given an opportunity to handle one of these birds, thus securing actual ex- perience and real knowledge of the principals and selection under the di. rection of H. D. Monroe, poultty specialist from the Pennsylvania State College. Proper culling of the farm flock will keep the egg production to 50 percent or better during the summer months, With the price ot eggs so low, no one can afford to feed hens that are not pro- , ducing.
