FINDS HENS PAY MUCH
BETTER THAN BUILDING

SALTWATER, Okla, April Am
interesting comparison in investment
values is contained in a report OF j. w.
Owens, county agent in McClain coun-
ty, who owns brick business building
in town and five acre ranch, " stock
ed with 400 good laying hens. A strict
account of income from both invest
ments has been kept. The town build
ing cost. the owner 81 900; the hens
500. The income from the hens, &C.
cording to Owens, is two and three
quarter times that from the business
building, and the owner is planning TO
increase the number OF egg producers 70
1000.
The idea outlined by the above clip
ping is a good one More poultry
raised means more money for com"
munity than investments in buildings.
The clipping was used on an envelope
sent out by the Central Produce and
Grain Co., Of Dunlap, as sort OF
incentive to the people of the SUR
rounding territory to take mp the
poultry business on a larger scale.
What the saltwater district OF OK
Iahoma has done in the poultry raising
business should also be true OF the
Sequatchie Valley. This spring there
has been large quantities of poultry
shipped from the valley and every
effort should be now made to have
more poultry on hand for the ship

we have to send for a crude, illit-
