AGRICULTURE NEWS NOTES
(By County Agent III. l.. Taton)
The Poultry Situation

There are two facts which prove
that the poultry men of the United
States are perfectly normal human
beings First, on May l, l931, the
average number Of layers per farm
flock was 1 birds less than day ],
1880 Second, according TO reports
from commercial hatcheries cover
ing the four months, January TO
April inclusive, 28 percent less eggs
were set by those hatCheries and 80
percent less salable chicks We're
hatched than for the same four
months of 1880. Reports from these
hatcheries also show that orders
for chicks to be delivered after May
/ this year, were As percent less
than a year ago.
Another reason why hatcherles
are not selling so many chicks this
year, is because OF the fact that
farmers are short OF cash. It has
been estimated that the United
States farmers on the average had
S400 apiece, or 20 percent less
gross cash income in 1880 than in
1929. Farm account records for
1890 show a considerable reduction
in net cash income, that is, cash re-
ceipts minus cash expenses, from
1929. Estimated gross cash in
come of Ohio farmers for the flrst
four months of 1881 was also %
percent less thansin 1890 Il
The poultry situation is beginning
to show some features which indi-
