Methods Which Have
Brought Success.
BUSINESS rs SERIOUS ONE
Should Not Be Undertaken by
Those Who Expect an
Easy Time.
nv TOM BARRON.

IL has been my great privilege TO travel
among the poultrymen In many sections
of America and investigate the business
side OF the poultry industry In this great
country The moro learn about condi-
tons here tho greater my amazement
at the positively unlimited opportunities
which are presented by the industry to
those who have tho ability and energy
to take full advantage OF the situation.
And so | congratulate YOU for the
very favorable conditions which maintain
here. Probably there ls no part OF the
world In which one fnds 20 many favor
Ing factors You have tremendous and
rapidly growing population and vast areas
" available land at comparatively low
prices. Poultry feeds are also offered at.
low rates. And finally, the consumption
Of poultry products seems To- he increas-
ing and prices moving steadily upward.
We make the production OF market eggs
a profitable business In England. though
quotations on feeds are higher than
yours and the price Of eggs averages
somewhat lower.
From my knowledge % your conditions
and az result Of my many years OF
experience as a practical poultry farmer
