Job For Texan

FORT WORTH, Texas CAMP
Until war came, John Nebane
was satisfied with the full time
job as custodian for one of the
large downtown buildings. But
after Pearl Harbor he became
restless; he was over the age limil
for Joining up, SO he began to look
about to See how he could contri:
butte more effectively to the war
effort.
The government began talking
about food needs of our armed
forces. our allies, and our wal
workers here at home; then there
was a hint Of shortages especial
ly Of meats and other protein
foods. Out in the backyard, Mr..
Nebane had a small flock of eating
and laying chickens. Occasionally
he took one or two down to the
building and sold them to some
of the executives.
One Gay Mr.. Nebane sat on his
backsteps and looked at his small
flock trying to think, If meat is
going to be short" he thought
~ could increase my flock"
That was jus. the thing: meat
was going to be short and every
chicken he could rails e would be
needed. About that time a new
farm agent, Howard Edwards
came into the community. He was
enthusiastic about raising poultry
One day he took look at Texas
chicken goal. Why it called for 40
million chickens. Edwards got
busy talking with farmers and
city folks who had backyard
flocks encouraging them 10 raise
ore chickens. Finally Farm Agent
Edwards got the colored people of
Tarrant county to set a goal Of
100000 chickens.
One of the first backyard flock
owners Edwards talked with was
Mr.. Nebape. With the farm agents
technical assistance, Mr.. Nebane
thought he would increase mis-
flock considerably. 1t wasn't easy
holding down the custodial Job and
raising chickens too but Mr. Ne
bane liked it because it was help
ing to win the war. His flock
gradually increased from a few
hundred to thousands. Already
this year he sold 5000 chickens
and has plenty more on the yard
