KENT POULTRY
RECORD URGED

to the University of Delaware
where they will be tabulated and
summarized. No individual re
ports, however, will be made pub
lie, as only the total and average
figures for all cooperators will be
published to show the average
profits or losses on these poultry
farms. In order to determine those
poultry raisers who would like to
have these account books, a letter
was mailed from the county exten-
sion Office requesting that the poul-
trymen return cards indicating
their intentions to keep these rec
ords, and sixty-one requests were
received. To date, however, only
thirty of these cooperators have re
turned their inventory sheets, but
no doubt others will be received
within the next few weeks thereby
increasing the total enrolment. OF
the nine poultrymen who partici-
pated in this project during the
past year, there were seven who
completed their records. Other
poultry projects in Kent county for
the coming year will include the
continuation Of the hatchery and
farm flock improvement program
and cooperating with the poultry
disease laboratory of the State
Board of Agriculture in the eradi-
cation of pullorum disease through
the process Of blood-testing the
birds in the breeding focks. A few
poultry housing demonstrations
also will be established as means
of answering the many questions
which are being received from
poultry raisers on this phase of
management.
