MANY DON'T EARN LIVING


But Chickens Are Kansas Farmers
Salvation, county Agents Say
Emporia, Aug. 24.--Hundreds OF
chickens on Kansas farms are not
earning their living, according to
farm agents Of several counties. who
met In Emporia last week. Lazy
chickens should be culled, killed and
eaten. The non-laying chicken "a
not worth the feed It eats. the farm
agents declared.
With stock on an unprontaDie
market basis and grain barely worth
the expense Of growing, the little
red hen has come to the rescue OF
the farmers. Chickens are doing
more to lift mortgages than all of
the farm crops combined, the poul-
try experts said.
Kansas has one-third more chick
ems than ever before, statistics
show, and its egg production has in
creased rapidly in the last few years.
But farmers who feed lazy hens
will save hundreds of dOlalrs by get
ting rid OF them, the county agent
advised.
