POULTRY GROWERS USE PROTECTIVE MEASURES
By County Extension Agent Warden.
Poultry growers around Bainville are using protective measures to prevent the usual poultry losses through pilfering. Each year poultry raisers in this neighborhood have lost many turkeys and chickens and while in some cases certain people have been suspected, it has been impossible to prove ownership of missing poultry.
Poultry is being marked with a brand registered by the Farmers' Protective Association and a list of the marks is placed in the hands of many poultry dealers throughout the northwest.
The brand is put on with indelible ink and while it cannot be readily found on the live fowl, it is plainly discernible when the feathers are removed. It is believed that the branding will be of assistance in locating poultry thieves and will eventually check this form of loss among poultrymen in this community as the possession of branded poultry should be sufficient evidence to convict.
