To The Poultry Raisers
OF Powell County

The demand for poultry and
eggs was never so great as during
the past year and prices and prof
its never better. There are even
brighter prospects for the owners
of farm flocks during the next
few years. Never before has i'm.
provement in ones flock promis.
ed such good returns, and there
never has been offered a chance
bv which this improvement could
be made so easily ms through the
plan Of poultry Standardization.
If you are not familiar with the
Standardization plan, | will be
only too glad to explain it to you.
Those who started purebred focks
n year to two ago by getting a
few settings Of eggs through this
plan at one dollar per setting are
now finding a strong demand for
their eggs at good prices.
In spite of the universal rise in
price, arrangements have been
ma ie with reliable breeders to
supply eggs again this season at
the same price, one dollar per
setting Of fifteen eggs. These
breeders have all had their focks
rightly culled. hence you will be
assured of vigorous chicks from
good laying stock. While these
are utility birds and not of show
room type, they are Of such size
and color that anyone may be
proud TO have them on the farm.
At this extremely low price you
cannot afford to miss getting a
start this year, hence you should
order several settings Of purebred
K. 1. Reds, the standard variety
for this county.
II you prefer TO get day. old
chicks and thus secure an earlier
start and avoid all of the trouble
with setting hens, | can see that
your order is filled. The chicks
would be of good, puredred stock.
They would come by mail direct
to you at 20 cents each. No or.
ders can be taken for less than
% chicks.
Yours very truly,
II. II. Harrison.
