INCREASE IN POULTRY URGED
Poor Policy for Noviees to Begin on
Large scale-ouite Likely to
Lead to Failure.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
1t should be borne in mind that an
Increase in poultry production is sought
not for this year alone, but for the en-
tire duration of the war. 1t is not
urged that novices without expert
ence engage in poultry keeping on a
large scale. That is recognized as a
poor policy at any time and is more
likely to lead to failure and eventual
decrease than to steady and perma-
nent increase in production. What is
urged is that those who are already
poultry growers to some extent and
possess the information and ability
necessary successfully to increase their
stock and production should do so.

Eat More Chicken
Utilize Part Of the Poultry
Increase to Supply Meat
for the Home Table

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
AS q matter of business foresight
and economy, as well as Of patriotism
farmers who increase their production
Of poultry and eggs this year should
increase on their own tables Much
of the benefit Of increasing the supply
of products capable Of very rapid IN
crease, but pcriShable and bulky, will
be lost If producers adopt the policy
Of marketing all the increase. In that
case there would be no substitution
on the farm Of poultry products for
the cured and compact meats which 1t
Is desired to reserve us far as possible
for military use and shipment to the
allies.
Many farm families could easily use
several times as much poultry as Is
now consumed on the average farm.
Analysis of the figures Of the last cen
sus shows II very light consumption of
poultry and eggs on the average farm.
For the whole country the average
yearly consumption Of eggs per farm
is only 1878 dOzen--2.6 dozen per
week; Of poultry, GO head--0r one
bird every six days. The highest aver
age consumption Of eggs in any state
Is pip dOZen-fOur dozen a week.
The highest average consumption of
poultry in a state Is 124.6 head-One
bird In 20 days. Such averages indi.
cate that farmers who use poultry and
eggs freely on their own tables use
from six to ten dozen eggs and four to
six head Of poultry weekly. In view
Of the extent to which large tlocks can
be made selr-sustalnlng during the
greater part of the year on most farms
this liberal scale Of consumption of
poultry products would seem practical
generally.
The consumption of eggs on farms
may be greatly increased and farmers
still receive the benefit Of good prices
for fresh eggs in the season of scant
production and give consumers the
benefit Of larger supply and more
moderate prices, If all farmers who
can do so will preserve as many eggs
when eggs nre cheap rs they can use
ut home when eggs are dear. The av-
erage farm price of eggs in the United
States In April, May and June, 1917
was % cents dozen; in October No
vembcr and December, 3S.7 cents. In
1916 the average difference in farm
prices In the periods compared was
1913 cents dozen. There Is Il period
of from five to six months In every
year when the average price of fresh
eggs on the farm Is about ten cents II
dozen more than the average price
during the season Of heavy production
Innsmuch rs eggs can be preserved
In water glass, or in lime water, and
kept in perfect condition for from six
to nine months, and usNblc for II year
or more, Il farmer who preserves eggs
when they are cheap for his own use
Cun use eggs freely the year round
and still have eggs to sell all through
the season of high prices.
