Sewage System And W ater Supply
Dampen New Industry Planning
By HERMAN W. WILCOX
A New ladustry, ft?? m
A poultry processing plant
became a possibility with much
work, contact and friendship of
those who would have come to
our county. It wbuld have em
ployed at least 100 people, the
ones that would not likely be
employed by our present indus
tries.
A building built to specifica
tions, it, 006" square feet, on a
disposal system that would take
a discharge of 300 gallons of
water a minutes, capable of
dressing and preparing 3,000
frying aiie chickens per day.
The waste would be caught, re
tained and turned into feed.
The entire industry could have
brought on a tremendous boost
to our economy. It could have
made our county become the
leader in poultry raising. It is
a fact now that poultry raised
in our county, fed the same
amount of food as in other low
er elevation counties weigh
much more, makes a much bet
ter marketing bird. It could
have brought to us a feed mill
to manufacture chicken feed. It
would give our farmers the
encouragement they need to
make a good living raising
birds for the every ready mar
ket It would give to our county
from these chicken houses the
much needed "Free fertilizer"
some of our farms need. Almost
no end to the possibilities.

Our sewage system and water
supply will not meet the re
quirements. No hopes of doing
so for several years.

Got a picture in your mind's eye of the kind of kitchen you'd LIKE to have?
Perhaps it calls for complete remodeling, with new modern appliances and fixtures
throughout. All of which may call for more money than you have on hand for the
purpose. No need, however, to postpone the project while you "save up" for It. See
us now for a Home Improvement Loan to cover all costs. Pay it off in monthly in
stallments, geared to your income.
