. Annual catalogue of the National Columbian Wyandotte Club. Wyandotte chicken; Chickens. NATIONAL COLUMBIAN WVANDOTTK CLUB CATALOGUE 21. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY Rkai) AT Philadelphia, Dkckmbkr 12, 1912. .Since the last Annual Meeting, January 25, 1912, .vour Secretai-j' has found enough work to do for the Club to keep him from laps- ing into too great a condi- tion of idleness. The first and most im- portant matter to be taken up was the compilation and publishing of the 1912 Cata- logue. Regarding this 1912 Cat- alogue— in a wa}'—I want to offer an apolog}- to the mem- bers for it being so uninter- esting, and devoid of more good articles and illustra- tions, which might prove interesting to members and any other breeders into whose hands it may fall—but I did the best I could. The next Catalogue, if its your opinion at this meeting that one shall be published, could be filled with; 1st good illustrations, 2nd contain list of all winners of Club ribbons and specials, 3rd have articles bv mem- bers showing up the characteristics of Columbian Wyandottes, and have helpful notes an the mating, raising and exhibiting our favorites, -l-th list of ofiicers and members. And in this conection I would sav I am not in favor of publishing the names of any members who are in arrears for dues, as has been previously done. .Such a Catalogue will probably cost twice what the last one did, and we must look to the advertisers to pav this— either b}- advancing the advertising rate or else have twice as man}' to take space. The last Catalogue returned a small sum to the Treasirry—not counting the postage. The edition was 2000 and 1300 have been sent out. I have been making a card index of all Columbian Wyandotte breeders, and now have about 700 names who are not members of the Club. This gives a list we never had before of ^'prospects'' for new members, and we know where to send catalogues when published. Our membership has increased by the addition of 135 new member
