Shuter brought up a discussion of the by-law existing: in Barrie which demands that poultry sold on the market must have the heads re- moved. It was shown that a. dis- eased bird can almost inevitably be detected by the condition of its head while the body may be perfectly sound, or at least sound as far the naked eye can discover. Thus -`the existing by-law enables any un- scrupulous person to kill and dress a diseased bird and sell it on the market or througvh a store. The .`-\g`ricu1-tural Department advocates leaving" the heads on birds and fold- ing` them under the wing` when mar- keting`. The Association decided to communicate with the town council asking" them to amend the by-law. The Association decided also to engage an additional judge for the coming` poultry show. They will now have two jud_e`es, apart from the Government utility judge. T__ .... ..A-LAw..~v.-L 4-A a-nnnun n Luuuug cxnuw. ..-unn-6-nv \.A|\. uvv .4 .u..-.... .......y.
