ty and start a new industry here
we propose to start a poultry
plant.
Poultry is good business now,
the out put equals cattle or hogs.
Poultry business has not even
been scratched in Meade county
yet. Poultry does well here.
If considered a small business
in the past not so now.
Sure crops are what we have
to have or drift along in a one
horse way.
A regular company to be
formed and dividends expected
annually.
Twenty acres land to be
bought and buildings to be
erected.
Later on if the company de-
sires dairy would be added.
This is dairy country without
any dairies.
Seventeen years ago we lived
in small Iowa town and helped
send barrel clay also barrel sand
east to interest eastern capital.
Plenty capital here to start
most any industry if we cooper
ate.
Seventeen years ago we went
to Wichita, then a small strug-
Cling village with the view Of To-
eating there. A friend told us
the town would never amount tc
anything, nothing to build a town
on.
Speaking of poultry feed But
Ter county Kansas raised two
million dollars worth of kaffir
corn this year. That amount OF
money distributed in Meade
county would boom things.
Fifteen good large poultry
1
plants would equal our wheat
crop and more sure business
We must get down to business
in raising crops here.
Farming is the really safe
business.
Only those who live in Meade
county are asked to take stool
in a cooperative poultry plant
Those who would take stool
to the amount of fifty dollars ant
up in a cooperative poultry
plant here, can notify me here
by letter or personally.
The more money subscribed
the larger the plant will be.
The salvation OF the farme
and the merchant is cooperation
in all lines of farming.
