1t is estimated that at least $4,000 worth
of poultry is shipped into the state of Utah
each year.
Not more than a fourth of the poultry
raised two years ago is raised now by Utah
people for the Utah market.
The dropping off in the industry is due al
most entirely to the high price of grain;
farmers preferring to sell the grain rather
than feed it to chickens.
Fifty thousand dollars invested in fancy
poultry in Salt Lake county.
