grouped togetheras a great field for
development of water sports in this
state. Preliminary plans are to hold
during the summer series of sailing
races, motor boat races, swimming

Poultry Raising In Ell Paso Offers
Large Profits Due To Perfect Climate

- HE raising Of poultry IN the Ric
Grande valley is in it's infancy.
A few years ago nothing in the
way Of a poultry plant could be found
anywhere in this section Of country.
For some unaccountabie reason the
idea seems to have obtained that all
classes Of poultry were failures all
over the southwest. How this notion
ever secured a foothold in the
mind Of a single individual is beyond
the comprehension of the many hun
dred small breeders. and the few
large breeders to be found scattered
an over the territory tributary to FL
Paso, and yet it is true that five years
ago 1t was rare indeed to see even a
back yard graced with q flock of hens
and this Notwithstanding the fact that
an average price OF so cents a dozen
could be guaranteed for yard" eggs
the year around
We have some few disadvantages
here to the poultry business, and these
must have become magnihed a thou
sandfold IN the minds OF the people,
while our many advantages seem to
have been overlooked entirely. At.
least this is the view taken by the
many successful breeders today, and
the sentiment is fast spreading in
every direction every day. Up and
down the valley Of the river poultry
plants up to the s35, 900 size have been
installed and in back yards OF the rich
and poor alike, where a few years ago
not a single member Of a feathered
tribe could be found. are now to be
seen every variety Of poultry. The few
drawbacks have been overcome and
the many advantages have been uti1-
lied to- the extent that even guineas
and turkeys can be raised with profit
in any kind of quarters.
And yet the poultry business in the
valley is in its infancy. Not one
tenth Of the poultry products consumed
by the city Of FL Paso is produced in
this territory. The advantages offered
by the valley, however. for poultry
culture are being appreciated and
every year works a change so that in
a short while instead Of importing
we hope to be large exporters of poul-
sry products-
