THE POULTRY INDUSTRY.

MOVE FOR REGISTRATION. PROPOSED BILL SUPPORTED. The annual meeting of tho Auckland Poultry-keepers' Association was held on Thursday evening. Members regretted the decision of the president for the past four years, Mr. A. Wood, to relinquish office and many tributes were paid to him for hi si unremitting efforts on behalf of the association. The proposed Poultry Registration and Development Bill was thoroughly dis cussed. Members, in close touch with the marketing side of the question dealt with the absolute necessity for thorough organ isation of poultry-keepers. Jo expoit eggs on an equitable basis, all shou < bear a share. In past years this had been left to the. few, while the many reaped the benefits. Without a <o " l ' , . c , list of all poultry-keepers throughout the Dominion being available, proper organisation was extremely difficult, it was unanimously decided to support the b' an to urge its passage through the ILonse. The meeting concluded with the pi - sentation of trophies and cups to success fill competitors in the egg-laying con es . The election of officers resulted as follows:—President, Mr. J. Nixon, presidents, Messrs. J. C. Nesfield and A. Wood; committee, Messrs. Skeates, lianbun, James, Anderson, Wilkinson, Col lings and Havern; treasurer, Mr. j*. Gordon Hunt; auditors, Messrs. L>. u. Bedford and H. Harrison.
