MRS. SHOUP GIVES VIEWS ON
FUTURE OF POULTRY INDUSTRY

Mrs. George Shoup of Lynden, the
poultry expert of the Western Wash
ington Experiment Station at Puyal-
lup. has prepared the following bull
the poultry industry:
Are you successful poultryman
If so, let your light shine. 1t will
bring cheer and help to your neigh
boring poultrymen. and business to
you from far and wide.
The writer has spent the last thir-
ty days in visiting commercial poul-
try plants and confering with COM
mercial poultrymen in most of the
districts in Western Washington
where commercial poultry keeping
has been established.
The pullet flocks on the West
Coast are 40 per cent short. yearling
hens are the only buy left available
to would-be poultry beginners this
fall. and practically all day-old-chick
people are fairly sold out for next
seasons hatch.
There are many roads leading to
success in the business. but they all
branch off three main ones:
Cd Ability to produce at least II
dozen eggs per hen.
CD Capital or credit to buy feed
early and in quantities.
90 A definite labor-saving plan
of arrangements of poultry build
ings. water system and lights.
For instance, one person produces
Is dozen eggs per bird and therefore
overcomes the handicap of buying
in such quantities as limited storage
permits him, while another not SO
good at getting the egg yield makes
it up by early buying Of years sup
ply of feed, and yet third, not over
ly good in either of the above items
has so arranged his plant that a
greater number of birds Is handled
per caretaker because of steps and
man-power saved by a well-laid-out
group of buildings, water piped to
the houses, lights controlled by a

button, feed and egg trolleys, auto
truck delivery and possibly some
grain raised on the place.
A fair share of poultrymen are get
ting the high production, are buying
in year quantities, and also have got
ten electric lighting systems, water
pressure systems and auto trucks, be-
sides the minor items of equipment
such as outside roller curtains on the
front of the coops, trolley egg-car-
riers, oat or barley sprouters, print
ed accounting books, typewriters and
other efficient labor-saving devices.
These people, usually husband and
wife cooperating admit that hard
work is necessary, but smile and as
sure one that they have about the
usual number of pullets and will keep
the remainder of the houses filled this
fall, with the best of their yearlingsI
and sometimes even two-year-olds.
Furthermore, the writer has yet to
find the type of plant described above
whose owners had the capital to
equip it when they began. They in
variably say: 1.-The hens did it,"
1t is a most inspiring experience to
go about among these widely-scat-
tered poultry plants and chat with
the owners and few of their neigh
bors and note the eager spirit they
show to better their methods, their
equipment and their products. both
in quality and quantity.
Not that they have no problems.
They have many, but they go at the
most perplexing ones with zest for
the game and an absolutely invinci-
BILE courage. One woman expressed
it when she said quite simply. Il
must make them pay and l will" l
found her flock singing their re-
Spouse: 1--WE do pay"
What of the people going out? Not
many have quit because the hens
could be made to pay, but because
the boys are in the wOrld-struggle
for freedom lover there" or working
in some war industry for Uncle Sam
lover here" or the father as well is
leaving the size of flock mother can
handle while he does his bit in the
shipyards or elsewhere as needed.
With the labor problem acute. !
poultry plants have not been able to
raise the usual number of pullets,
nor are focks profitable where much
hired help is depended upon, because
of the shortage of trained helpers
and because of competing trades Of
fering unusually high wages.
Never has the production from Sc
lected fiocks been as high as at pres
ent, while the unsolicited fiocks have
generally shown their owners they
are Improbable, SO that after all it is
the survival of the fittest. To be
successful poultryman you must be

Friday night that saving pennies
was too slow way of doing some

so she determined to cut a cord of

BY Saturday night she had her
wood cut and split and ready to
haul out Of the woods and Monday
noon she brought the load to town.
Dressed in her wood cutting suit,
rough tweed knickerbockers. wool

the girl took her stand beside the
wood pile in the public square and
proceeded to hold an informal auc-

Her pluck aroused the admira-

mounted to unheard Of proportions

prices. BY the end Of the afternoon
the load had been sold for S5125 to
