FIRST hen CAMPAIGN
TO Be LAUNCHED HERE

Kennebeckers have learned a lot
about hens in general, as the result
of the meetings held Wednesday, at
Readfield. Farmingdale and China.
under the direction of the Extension
Service of Orono with M. D. Jones,
Extension farm management special
ist and C. A. Day, kennebec Farm
Bureau county agent, in charge.
Facts have also been cleaned from
the hen owners. chief among them
being that there are over 700 hen
owners in the county who have docks
of 30 hens or more.
In spite of the busy times, good
attendances were recorded at all the
meetings of the delegates and the
project leaders. The Wednesdays
sessions opens the poultry campaign
of county wide interst, that Is be-
ing launched for the first time here.
The object of the meetings was in
order for the workers to get in
touch with the poultry owners, to ex-
plain the workings and the objec-
tive of the campaign. The project
leaders will begin canvassing at
once in order to get line on the
poultry raisers in their districts be-
fore the 18th of September.
The reasons why poultrymen
should keep accounts are listed as
follows by Mr.. Jones:
Should know whether flock is pay
ing or not. For ten years poultry
has been paying farm enterprise
in Maine when properly handled.
Losses in poultry are largely due to
improper management or marketing.
Should be able to trace net returns
as a guide to increasing or decreas-
ing business. Should know costs to
determine whether too high for eco
nomy or too low for efficiency.
Should know production per hen, the
major factor in securing a profit.
Should know returns for eggs,
whether or not priceireceived is be-
low the average. Should know poul-
try sales. Study relative profitable
ness of broilers or roasters under in
dividual conditions. A record is con-
venient for reference. 1t stimulates
an interest in the business. 1t helps
develop keen business judgment. 1t
means the difference between guess.
ing and knowing.

the big kettles and covered all of
the machinery. even getting into the
