New York, Dec. Poultry raising
on the high seas is profitable, says
George White, first officer OF the
tramp steamship Welsh Prince,
which Is discharging cargo in Brook
lyn. after a 40,000.mile trip.
The Welsh Prince has the distinc-
ton of being the only steamship
which has on board a poultry yard.
1t covers the entire width of sec
ton of lower deck. 1t bears a reg
ulatiou henhouse. One result of
Whites idea is that at a minimum
cost fried chicken and fresh laid
eggs are served TO officers and crew
