Mr. Brow?i and Mr. Metzgar were on the coast for the purpose of making1 a study of the conditions of production and marketing mar-keting of eggs and poultry, and their visit proved highly instructive and profitable. Not only did these gentle-men lea.m much about the method of raising and marketing, but they gained much from the offices of the farm bureau of that Miction.
