veloped a plant of 235,OOO egg capa
city and brooding $4,000 chicks al
one time.
In those early days (1914), we
would start to set our first eggs
around March LIST and the last hatch
for the season would be off around
the first week in May, giving us less
than a three months Matching per-
iod. The price of eggs usually ran
around rs cents per dozen. Chicks
sold for 10 cents each, poultry feed
was $2.25 per 100 lbs; broilers SELL
ing for 80 cents. per lb. and labor
$1.25 per day. At these figures the
cost Of producing a 2 lib. broiler
would be 80 to 35 cents.
Now in comparing the average
prices since 1914, we are giving you
the following figures: Eggs As cents
per dozen, chicks Is cents each, feed
$3.50 per 100 lbs, broilers so cents
per h., and labor $500 per day. The
cost OF producing 2 lb. broiIer is
40 to As cents"
Good Profits in "Off Season"
We asked Mr.. Jones if he would
give us some figures which would
serve as a guide to those who are
considering going into the Matching
or buying of broiler chicks, either
to sell as chicks or broilers ready
for market. His answer is very en-
Tightening and valuable because
these figures are the result of four
teen years experience and record
keeping. They show that a good
profit in Matching can be made in the
high price months; that is, the
months when most incubators are
silent" The cost of chicks is high
er in the "off-season" and fertility is
lower, but the spread between these
factors and selling price, is enough
to show a good margin of profit. 1t
should be remembered that these
figures are for broiler chicks from
good standard quality, disease-free
stock.
Monthly Prices, Demand and
Fertility
According to Jones, 1.-THE cost of
producing chicks each month in the
year would be as follows:

An Interview With A. C. Jones Of
Delaware, One Of the Largest
BrOiler Producers in the Country.

reprint from the Poultry Item)
The following letter is typical OF
several received recently and shows
that poultrymen, generally, are be-
ginning to realize that their incu-
batting equipment must be used more
than three or four months a year in
order to show a satisfactory profit
on the business of Matching. Whe-
Their the Matching business is the
feature that is depended on to pro-
vide the poultryman's dread and
butter" or whether it is just one of
several operations on the poultry
plant, it is certainly good business
sense to make it show a profit on
the investment throughout the year.
Here is the letter:
The Poultry Item,
Sellersville, Pa.
am coming to you for some ad-
vice on poultry. Are there any pro-
fits in starting a flock of chicks at
this time of year for broilers or
capons of some heavy breed? 1 have
equipment not in use at this time
William F. Edinger, Pa.
Our Answer
Dear Mr.. Edinger:
The overhead on Matching and
brooding equipment during the loft
season" of the year is a serious mat
ter for poultrymen all over the
country. Many of them are meeting
it by producing broiler chicks, eth
er throughout the year or commenc-
ing about October. l have had sew
eral similar requests lately and 1
have advised in each case that it
seems to be the proper thing to do
to cut down the expense of carrying
equipment throughout the year.
Broilers command a good price
around the holidays and usually
reach their peak sometime in March
or April. The outlet for capons at
this time of the year would not be so
good, as most of them are caponized
in the normal growing season, when
they weigh IL to pounds, and are
fattened for the holiday and early
spring markets. There seems to be
a growing demand for broiler chicks
in the "off season" and I believe
that if you were to advertise them
either locally or in the national pa
pers and magazines, you would have
ready sale for them. OF course, most
Of the people who hatch the year
round expect to see the broiler bus
mess through on their own plant;
that is, they expect to keep a large
number of the chicks that they
hatch and sell them off as broilers
1T the right time.
An article "My Experience With
Wire Floors" which appeared in our
August issue, was written by Tracy
}. Fling, a large broiler man in Jer-
3ey. He uses a White Wyandotte-
White Rock cross and, incidentally,
lie buys all his chicks. This cross
makes an excellent broiler chick (
md good trade can usually be de-
reloped because of the superior
Iuality of meat on the cross-bred
arcass.

TO SHOOT ROCKETS
 FROM PIXIES PEAK
Will Blaze Through Midnight Black. ness to Signal Passing Of
 1928 to 1929.

Colorado Springs. CoIo.. Dec. Si R-- Skyrockets shooting through midnight blackness from the top of Pikes Peak tonight will blaze New Year Greetings to the world and an- nounce that members of the Ada man club have made the perilous winter ascent to the summit of the peak.
 Headed summitward 1f members of the club were believed to have camped last night at . cabin near Timberline. They expected to reach the top this afternoon.
 The climbers have provided more fireworks than ever before for the nights display and the whole valley below will witness the pyrotechnic welcoming of the new year. In- cluded in the spectacular display will be two floating star shells imported from Italy, which will float out from the snow covered peak like silver moons, then burst into a multitude of brilliant stars.
 A great white light will shine from the peak at g p. m. to be fol- lowed by two rockets and . $12,000 candle power flare on Crater Point. Al midnight will come the grand display. Street lights here will be dim at the hours of the celebration so that the many thousands who will brave the night air will be able to see the spectacle more clearly.
 The climbers left here early yes- terday and were last seen hiking past Ruxton Park on the Cog road. Deep snows this year forced abandonment or plans to carry provisions on two pack mules and each climber packed his own supplies and his quota of the pyrotechnics.

PASTORS DISAGREE WITH PROFESSOR
Don't BelieVs Religion Nesds
 Revision at This Time

New York, Dec. 31 ReNew York pastors of various denominations, with one exception. raised . chorus Of protest from their pulpits yester. day against the statement of Prof. Harry Emerson Barnes of Smith Col. iese that modern science demands revision of religion and a new con. cept of God.
 The one pastor who agreed with Prof. Barnes was John Haynes Holmes of the Community church who said i've should have religion to fit our times.'
 Prof. Barnes made his plea for . new religious foundation in an ad- dress before a sectional meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. which is in session here.
 We must cease talking of God" he said. We must supplant the. ology by mental hygiene. Science has shown it to be difficult to prove the very existence of God"
 Hayes Statement
 Cardinals Hayes from the pulpit of St. Patrick's Cathedral. said: Tt is fashion of the day to see conflict and contradiction between religion and science" but true religion re- verses true science. rejoicing in its unfolding of the beauties of nature because it makes manifest the omnpotent intelligence of God"
 The Rev. Christian F. Reisner. Methodist, charged Prof. Barnes with being Unfair. because he is not familiar with modern theology" AS we'll might l undertake to criticize science as for him to criticize theo- logy," he continued, with the evi. dent ignorance in that field which he displays"
 The Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fos- dick. Baptist said: Tt is the little minds in both camps who cause the most trouble. The foremost religious minds are becoming more scientific and the foremost scientific minds arc becoming more religious" The Rev. Dr. Henry Darlington. Episcopal, said: Science and re. ligion are not at war. as the ill.in- formed think. but are cooperators for the general good of mankind. Science builds the machinery. Re. lision decides how it shall be used"
