The county commissioners have set a meeting for Poultrymen Adopt Standard Terms Grades for Stocks By Carl Frlachknecht, V8AC Exteawlon Pooltryman In years past, breeders and poultry improvement associations In the several states have developed standards and used terms to sell hatchery products that represented certain requirements in one state and entirely different requirements In other states, in order to correct this condition and improve the quality of chicks in the entire United 8tates funds were provided July 1, 1935, for putting a national improvement plan of poultry breeding Into operation by the United States department of agriculture. The plan Is a voluntary one and any breeder or hatcheryman In a state may or may not come under the plan. Wherever it is adopted an official state agency responsible to the government must be sent up to supervise the program.

The plan sets up minimum specifications for five different stages or grades of breeding stock, hatching eggs, and baby chicks. Each of these grades has minimum requirements which must be met before one can advertise and sell that particular grade. The lowest grade Is U. 8. Approved.

Other grades listed In accordance with increasing quality are: U. S. Verified, U. 8. Certified, U.

8. Record of Performance, and U. 8. Record of Merit. Among other requirements, U.

8. Approved chicks must be hatched in a U. 8. Approved hatchery and from eggs from U. S.

Approved flocks. The U. 8. Approved flocks are to be selected for constitutional vigor and egg production, by a selecting agent appointed by the official state agency. Each bird selected must be branded by a sealed and numbered legband.

This selection and mating must be done at least 30 days before any eggs for hatching are collected. There are also minimum requirements for egg size, shape and color; sanitary conditions in the incubator and around the poultry houses and in regard to the type and weight of the chicks. Three degrees of Pullorum disease eradication have also been provided for In the plan. In the order of Increasing desirability, these are to be known as "Pullorum "Pullorum and "Pullorum Many of the provisions of the plan have already been used with success in different parts of the United States and It is believed that its use will help greatly to Increase the rate of egg production and put the poultry business in the entire country on a more desirable and profitable basis.
