194I POULTRY COST ACCOUNT
SUMMARY NOW AVAILABLE

Nov available to Delaware peul-
tTymen is the new Extension Mimeo
Circular No. 12, titled Delaware
Poultry Cost Account Summary"
This circular, prepared by H. L.
Richardson, extension poultry spe-
cialist for the Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Service, sums up
the 1871 farm flock accounts of 81
cooperating Delaware poultry ac-
count-keepers. During the year
these poultrymen have kept daily
records of costs and returns from
their flocks. The summary is des-
ignated to point out practices which
have been most efficient and eco
nomical for those keeping records
and for poultrymen- who wish to
lower their production costs.
In his 16-page circular, Richard
son compares returns of heavy
breeds of poultry with returns of
light breeds and relative returns
from market-egg and hatchery-egg
production. The size of fiocks is
compared as it effects profits and
records of the five Delaware pro-
ducers showing highest net re-
turns are compared with those
poultry accounts showing the low
est net returns. And there are more
facts in this new circular which
will prove helpful to many Della
ware poultrymen.
Kent and Sussex counties farm
flock owners desiring a copy of
this new extension circular should
get in touch with either Russell E.
Kent county agricultural
agent, or Russell Snyder, Sussex
county agricultural agent, at their
offices in Dover and Georgetown,
and ask for a copy of Extension
Mimeo Circular No. ~
