PRACTICAL POULTRY PLANT PROPOSED FOR GRANT PARK It Would Be Not Only of Interest to the Sightseer, but an Object Lesson in How to Develop a v Great Industry. Increasing public Interest in poultry brings forth the suggestion that an ex hibit of fine birds should be kept at Grant park. It has mot with favor and already the park la being primed for a livelier plumage. The plan Is to have the poultry ex hibit an ndjunct of ‘the zoo. that the keepers of the zoo might attend to It. Chicken fanciers hnve already ex pressed a willingness to contribute rare and fine specimens. Thus the city con provide a continuous, wonderful poul try show at an Insignificant cost. 8. W. Bacon, Jr., of the clasalfled ad vertising department of The Georgian, and the moving spirit In The Geor gian’s poultry show In January, la the originator of the Idea. He offers a line pen of chickens. Others say .they will also give. Members of the park commission and General Manager Dkn Carey want to accept the proposal and start a real chicken farm at once. They will take the matter up at the meeting Tuesday afternoon. "It Is something that I have long wanted at the park.” says Mr. Carey. "Fine chickens would attract a great deal of attention; they would even bring visitors to the park who don't L ime there now. I would be glad In- :od to have auch an addition." George F. Kubanka, president of th« board sand who la a student of all phases of park development, aays that the poultry exhibit will supply a public want. "They ran be so handled." says Mr. Knbanks, "as to he self-sustaining, and soon pay a profit. Fine chickens have come to be the most Interesting of the feathered flock. South Ainer lean birds and other frenklah fowls can attract no such attention as chickens now demand. Wo need' them In Grant park." Commissioner W. C. Puckett, chair man of the soo committee and who Is intensely Interested In replenishing'that Institution, says that a good chicken exhibit will partly aupply the zoo needs. “I will present the Idea to the park commissioners Tuesday afternoon and let them discuss It," says Mr. Puckett, "and I'believe the members will be unanimously In favor of It. I nm a| chicken fancier myself, and It Is very significant to note tho great number I of people In Atlanta who are ao much > Interested In chickens. I believe they, outnumber the baseball fans. With a good exhibit In Grant pork, there'll he i a great many to spend Sunday After noons out there who now watch a lone bunty rooster In a two by four back yard." The proposal to the park board Is to provide.a small house and nn incloa- ur# for the chickens. The rost Is small And chanticleer will hold ,a prouder place In Atlanta. Members Are Given Time to .

This plan la nothing more nor less than to have conslgnmente of liquor billed to some point close to Atlanta, such a* Knot Point and Smyrna, In stead of having It shipped directly Into the city. From these points the whisky la then carted Into the city In drays or other vehlrlee.
