Excerpt from Seventh Annual Report of the Rhode Island Agricultural Station, 1894, Vol. 2: Of the Seventh Annual Report of the Corporation, Board of Managers, of the Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, Made to the General Assembly at Its January Session, 1895 State. The influence of a Poultry Society and its exhibitions well supported and rightly managed cannot but be beneficial. The duties of the Secretary of the Poultry Society, however, demand a large amount of time and detail work which experience has shown necessarily interferes with Station duties 'to such an extent as to render the duties of the two positions somewhat incompatible. While every effort will be made to encourage our poultry industry, justice to the work of the Station as well as the poultry interests of the State, requires time for the active prosecution and prompt publication of the results of experimental work.
