New Law Doe. Not Make a Hit With Poultry Dealers.

The poultry dealers and commission men are not very enthusiastic over the new license law, the purpose of which is to stop the practice of stealing of poultry. The dealers state that its provisions involve too much red tape. Dealers in poultry are required to obtain licenses from the clerk of the county circuit, court. The greatest complaint is of. section 3 of the law, which reads: “Every person, firm or corporation licensed to deal in poultry shall keep a record in a book open to public inspection and kept for that exclusive purpose, showing the number of fowls of purchased and the weight in pounds of such fowls, the persons or person from whom purchased, with postoffice address and the date of purchase.”
