UTLEY the first time, the United world's largest raiser of poultry, will be host to the World's Poultry Congress and Exposition. Plans are already well under way for the seventh triennial meeting of the big show, to take place in Cleveland, July 28 to August 7, in 1939. There will be three days of preliminary meetings in Washington, D. C. Just how great an interest the event is likely to create is easy to eee, when it is considered that there are 5,500,000 farmers raising poultry in this country. Of these, some 408,000 have flocks averaging 200 or more hens and pullets. American poultry-raisinas an Industry, long ago broke into the g, 1 Forty-tw- I :. nations took o part at Ottawa, Canada, in FOR u,i ...,. 1927, and 150,000 attended. International interest reached its peak in London in 1930, when eo countries were represented, but attendance fell off to 80,000. No attendance records were kept at Rome in 1933, but the Sixth congress, at Leipzig, Germany, in 1936, drew 41 countries and an attendance of 70,000. It is expected that the holding of the next congress in the United States, as unan- imously decided at Leipzig, will awaken a tremendous revival of interest and attendance. The congress has ever been a colorful aflair. Dignitaries of the host nations have served as patrons. Kings, queens, princes and dictators have paid homage to the humble hen by opening the congresses and participating in ther functions. In addition to holding the scientific sessions and exposition, it has been customary for the ho:;t nation and host ei;y to entertain oflic:al delegates ar.d visitors with recep tions, banquets, concerts and short tours to nearby points of interest. The congress itself has never included all of the events which attract poultry-raiserbut rather acts as the nucleus or stimulus for a great many outeide activities. Following the congress there are usually tours to points of interest, such as experiment stations, contests, poultry farms and marketing establishments and agencies, as well as tours of general scenic and historic interest. Iiow Sh.ow Is Sponsored. In other countries the congress has been sponsored by the national governments, but here so many interests are at stake that the show will be put on by a general committee the sponsorship of the poultry industry, the federal government, the host city and state, and the various participating state committees. All will contribute to the financing. James E. Rice, of Trumansburg, of the congress N. Y., tea is cnairman ot tne national committee. pou' industry Dr. C. V.

There will be a moving picture theater, showing educational films prepared by state and federal workers and commercial agencies. Tentative plans call for a Hall of Youth building to houte these activities. Activities for Consumer, Too. After all, it is the consumer who keeps the poultry industry alive, and he will not be forgotten. There will probably be a series of discussions workers, by leading nutritional home economics specialists and chefs, in addition to. cooking dem onstrations showing methods for the use of the industry's products. We'll see if they can show Mrs. American Housewife anything new about the use of eggs! At least 25 countries other than the United States are expected to have exhibits. These will be housed with the federal and state exhibits in a Hall of Nations and States. The Hall of Industry will display the commercial aspects of the poultry industry. Here will be shown the products and work of hatcheries, manufacturers, marketing agencies, press and radio. Many commercial firms doing educational or research work will exhibit. Others will show the history and development of their product. Exhibits of processes of the industry will include hatching, grading and sexing chicks; battery raising of broilers and hens; killing, m I dressing, grading and packing of chickens; eviscerating fowl; and " " I 1 breakimg, canning and drying of eggs.

For the last twelve years, according to the Department of Agriculture reports, the gross income to farmers has averaged approximately $1,000,000,000. More farmers are eneacea in raising poultry than are engaged T. raising any other farm commodity. But the poultry business by no means ends with the farmers. There are 12,000 commercial and breeder baby chick hatcheries. There are many thousand agencies buying eggs and poultry from farmers, processing and packing these products, and distributing to the various retail, hotel and restaurant outlets. Estimates of these marketing agencies, exclusive of small buyers and hucksters, vary from 30,000 to 60,000. Thousands Engaged in Distribution. There are several hundred cold storage warehouses handling poultry products, hundreds of feed manufacturers and dealers, and a large Bumber of equipment, incubator and remedy manufacturing concerns. There are thousands of agencies such as retail stores, dairy and poultry stores, restaurants, hotels and cafes. Memberships of numerous trade associations use in one way or another the products of the poultry industry. There are more than 400 state, regional and national poultry In addition to the rganizations. regular poultry and agricultural cress, there is scarcely a daily or weekly newspaper in the United States which does not print, regularly or occasionally, columns or items having to do with poultry-raisinbillion-dolla- r j of 1 g. All of these factors, combined with the holding of two world's fairs in the United States in 1939, one in New York and one in San Francisco, to attract foreign visitors, seem to point to an attendance at the Seventh World's Poultry Congress and Exposition that will shatter all previous records. The Department of Agriculture's own estimate is a gate total of 500,000, with 50,000 visitors participating in the activity and staying over two or three days. Canada is expected to send 2,000 visitors and it is believed there will be at least another thousand from other foreign countries. Before getting into the details of the program, which should certainly keep the time of the visitors well occupied, it might be in order to sketch roughly the background of the congress. It was 25 years ago that James E. Rice, then head of the poultry department of Cornell ofuniversity, England, and Sir Edward Brown, organized the International Association of Investigators and Instructors of Poultry Husbandry, later renamed the World's Poultry Science association. They conceived an international poultry congress at which poultry people of the world could assemble to discuss the as- induspects and problems of the tFThe World war halted their plans the first temporarily, but in 1921 was held World's Poultry congress Re- Netherlands.

Cf course not even the President could have foreseen that Mrs. Roosevelt would take the ball when he went into Wyoming, and produce a situation which made the voters of that state think Sen. Joseph C. d boy 0"Mahoney was the at the White House, by that spectacle before a Wyoming audience of Joe O'Mahoncy introducing his col league, Sen. Harry H. Schwartz, to the First Lady. But he could easily have calculated the effect it would have on the voters of Idaho to have a conference with the old lion, Sen. William E. Borah, alone for more than an hour! Of all people, the President should have realized at once that even the x' ' t. hatch-eryme- r - W 1 man or woman bitterest in the state would get at least the suspicion that Borah was rather important in the Roosevelt picture. They would know, for instance, that the international situation is caus ing gray hairs in Washington as well as other world capitals, and that Borah is one of the best informed persons on the diplomatic situation, and on Russia which some regard as the key to the situation in particular. So they might suspect that Roosevelt was asking Borah's advice, Borah happening to be the ranking Republican on the senate relations committee, of foreign which he was chairman until the Democrats got control. If such a picture should be dis missed as too fantastic, something else mighty weighty would have to be substituted, to satisfy normal hu man curiosity and desire for speculation. For nothing was announced! Even Borah, shrewdly as usual, refused to say. anti-Bora- h "The People's Lobby" The words "The People's Lobby" do not mean very much to most of the folks out in the country.

Jim Farley got to be friends with Joe back in 1S31 and early '32 when he was picking up support for nomination. Roosevelt's Farley brought Joe to New York headquarters and found him most valuable. o after inauguration he made him assistant postmaster general. Farley thinks he helped put O'Mahoney in the senate. Actually Joe had lots of friends up and down the wide spaces of thinly populated Wyoming, acquired when he was secretary to the late Sen. John B. He had become a political power in his own right, or Farley would not have been so solicitous when he was delegate hunting. But, human nature being what it is, Farley thinks he "made" O'Mahoney. So he and Roosevelt were pretty sore when the youngster decided to fight the court change. As the presidential train neared Wyoming it developed that the President had invited Sen. Harry H. Schwartz, the governor, and lots of other oilicials to ride on his train, but had not invited O'Mahoney. The intention was obvious. But Joe appeared, smiling and happy apparently, and climbed on the train! The President paid practically no attention to him, and lots to his colleague, Senator Schwartz, to the governor, and the other Democratic organization leaders. But Mrs. Roosevelt didn't understand about the "purge." She made quite a fuss over Joe, as she is apt to do about anybody she likes, and she likes lots of people. This was all in plain sight of the ordinary citizens, who could see the First Lady and the recalcitrant senator hobnobbing on the back platform at every stop! Washington. With hindsight, all this talk of a purge that President Roosevelt was going to read his enemies on the court enlargement plan out of the Democratic party and into oblivion whether they were Democrats or not seems rather & 'V ;. 5 : SentberfTlrUtT minds the knowledge V lands and other inuitutkLl other races, and have feS afresh within us the insW, common humanity, a nfof Reversal beneficence of th -Dean Stanley.
