GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
EXISTS HERE FOR
POULTRY RAISING
Demand ALWAYS Exceeds Sup
plY-Nation Consumes over
$500, 600. 900 Worth
Each Year

Almost every day The Chief
tain hears of some one who
wants poultry-poultry in large
numbers with which to start a
chicken ranch. And usually
they have to scour the country
to get a sufficient number for a
good start.
While many of our people are
raising poultry in fairly large
quantities. the supply nowhere
equals the demand, and there
are golden opportunities in the
Holly district every day for the
poultryman.
The abundance of alfalfa and
small grains here make this dis
trict peculiarly adapted to poul-
try of all kinds, and the wonder
is that more people do not go in
to it wholly as a business.
By way of illustration, does
the reader know that the farmers
of America sell over $500, 000,-
600 worth of poultry and eggs
every year?
Do you know that our poultry
and egg production now equals
in value that of practically all of
our wheat production?
Do you know that Western
Kansas as a whole owes it's pres
ent development and unques-
toned prosperity to the old hen
and red COW?
Of course anybody can get into
the poultry business or the bee
business or even the newspaper
business-if he has the long
green. There's just scads Of
openings, and it don't take any,
thing on earth but money to
break in.
But let the man who knows
the why's and wherefores of a
good incubator get to work here,
and with diligent effort and three
hours or so of work each day, he
can win-and he surely will be
the pioneer in an almost virgin
field where there is plenty Of
room, and hundreds of others
will follow just as sure as the
sun shines.
