In the United States there are
59s,OOO,OOO fowls. They produce

eggs are worth $1,179, zoo, 900,
Poultry Is worth one-third as much
as corn, half as much as wheat, as
much as cotton. and more than oats.
This production seems enormous
but the market is far from being
flooded. Itmeans only half an egg
a day for every person in the United
States. II you are eating more than
this, you are getting more than your
share.
Ninety per cent of the poultry
money goes to the farmers.
We all keep poultry. We need
for our family the wholesome food
IL produces-this alone is reason
enough for keeping it.
But aside from this, poultry is
one of the most important items in
the farm business. The chickens
are worth "fooling with" They pay
well. They will pay more il we give
them u chance.
The chicken business is more than
a woman's and kids Job. Let's give
