They were told by N. L. Biggs of Allied Mills, Greensboro, that since January 1, poultiymen in the two counties have received from the above firm alone a total of $262,096.08, and that it could have been five times that much. Mr. Biggs said that Western North Carolina is ideality situated both geographically and dhnatieal ty for the production of hatching eggs?that jit cannot be beat. Half of the broiler growing area ; the southeast, he says, where from four to five million chicks are produced per week. The cool nights and high moisture content of atmosphere here make hatching ideal. In extremely hot weather the blood stream does not carry as much calcium as in cooler veather.

For that reason eggs coming out of Western North Carolina hatch a lot better and produce a much stronger chick. Hatchahdlity of WNC eggs will run from 75 to 90 per cent, depending upon the sea son, where in other sections the per cent is about 30. Farmers often raise from 95 to 100 per cent of chicks produced from local eggs. When eggs come in the local plant they are graded in an air conditioned room. They are then shipped in an air-n umlH^piul Mr. Biggs encouraged thtf^M! tiymen to brood their own chicks, stating that it is leas expensive and gives better results.
