WISCONSIN FLOCKs BIG
POULTRY INDUSTRY IN WIScON-
SIN PAST YEAR VALUED AT
NEARLY $4,000, 900.

The poultry industry in Wisconsin
for the past year was valued at nearly
$30,O0O,OOO.
This is the statement Of J. B. Hayes
poultry specialist at the Wisconsin
College of Agriculture. Hayes de-
clares that farm poultry industry in
the Badger state is growing rapidly.
The number of fowl kept On the farms
is increasing steadily. With the in
crease in numbers, there is also a
very appreciable gain in production.
There are now SO hens as an aver
age for each farm in Wisconsin. Lat
est census reports show that on Jan
uary 1, 1923, there were more than
13,613,000 hens in the state.
There were enough eggs produced
in the state last year to provide a
fresh egg every day during the year
for every man, woman and child in
the state and still have large mum
Der of eggs left to put into cold stor-
age for another year.
Poultry is not a specialized indus
try in Wisconsin, declares Hayes, 1t
is a specialized farm practice. De-
spite the fact that there was a de-
crease in price last year in eggs and
meat over war prices, there has been
a very decided increase in numbers
of fowl and in production.
The Wisconsin poultry specialist
has figured out that the average farm
price for a bird in Wisconsin is 92.4
cents. He sees a great future for the
"cackle-berry" industry in the Bad
ger state. Already Wisconsin has be.
come prominent in this branch OF
farming and now ranks twelfth among
all the states of the union. Badger
poultrymen, however, are not salts
fled with this ranking, and are now
striving to gain higher position.
