The Washington Poultry Improvement Association was organized in
Puyallup, Washington, and its first annual conference was held in 1922. The
expressed purposes of the Association are (1) to provide reliable sources of
breeding stock, chicks, and hatching eggs through breeding and disease control,
(2) to provide supervision and inspection of flocks and hatcheries, (3) to
protect against inferior stock, and (4) to promote legislation favorable to the
poultry industry. As ex-officio members of the board of directors, the head of
Washington State University Poultry Department and the superintendent and the
poultry head of Western Washington Experiment Station in Puyallup (now Western
Washington Research and Extension Center) insure access to current scientific
research.
Correspondence, financial records, conference materials, inspectors'
reports, laboratory results and disease and transportation data of a poultry
improvement association.
The records of the Washington Poultry Improvement Association are
arranged in two series.
The first series (1937-1975), comprised mostly of correspondence,
concerns the functioning of the organization. Principal correspondants include
Western Washington Experiment Station supervisor David F. Allmendinger
(1966-1971), former supervisor J.W. Kalkus, Ramsey G. Burdett, DVM, producer
James H. Knowles (1948-1952), and poultry inspectors Harold A. James and S.S.
Gossman. Also included in this series are financial records, transportation
material, minutes and programs for state and national conferences, and
inspector and laboratory records.
The second series (1922-1975) deals with product improvement and
consists of inspectors' work sheets, hatchery and flock inspection field
records, and laboratory results. About half of this material is related to the
National Turkey Improvement Plan and the National Poultry Improvement Plan.
This collection is open for research use.
