There is probably no district to be found north of Southern Cali fornia that can in any wty com pare with the 'warm belt of the Columbia River for the raising of poultry. Within a radios of 10 miles of Richland there are sev eral chicken fanciers, who in the last three years have won more than one-half of all the first prises given at state and inter state fairs. It is not hard for Ofie to under-' stand that with oar mild Winter, almost . perpetually green alfalfa fields and th clean, dry ground, free Irom mud. slush and with an stmosphcre free from fog, that Richland Is the natural home of f.ne poultry.
