HENS ON EVERY FARM

The value of poultry in Ark
ansas only averaged $3.50 for
each farm, according to the
last United States census, while
the average value of poultry
slaughtered and sold from the
Iowa farms was S152. If ev-
cry farmer in Arkansas will
try to raise at least one hun
dred good hens during the
coming year this will have a
great deal of effect towards in
creasing the value of poultry
and building up this industry.
At the same time it will give
our people more chickens and
eggs to eat and permit the sale
of beef and pork for the Army.
