THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1928
LOCAL HATCHERY
TO BE MOVED TO
SPINDALE SOON
Farmers Federation, Inc., to
Operate The Forest City
Hatchery—Mr. Paul
Duncan in Charge
Spindale, Sept. 11. —The Farmers
Federation, Inc., has taken over the
Forest City Hatchery and will move
it to the Spindale branch of the
Farmers Federation this week accord
ing to Mr. 0. J. Holler, president of
the local Federation.
The Forest City Hatchery is one
of the largest commercial hatcheries
in Western North Carolina, and is a
valuable addition to the Farmers
Federation system of hatcheries in
the state. The work of removing the
equipment from Forest City to Spin
dale will be done this week, just as
soon as an expert arrives to assist
in the re-placing of the machinery.
The Farmers Federation will op
erate the hatchery on a commercial
basis similar to that on which it has
been operated. Custom hatching will
be one of the principal objects, for
the time being at least. The hatchery
will be open for business just as soon
as it is installed' in the Spindale
warehouse. Mr. Holler thinks that the
machines will be ready for eggs
sometime next week.
Plans are now to make the Spin
dale Hatchery one of the outstanding
hatcheries in Western North Caro
lina. Within late years there has
been a renewed interest in poultry
raising in the county, due partly to
the poultry cars which run in the
county at periodic times, to the Ruth
erford County Poultry Association
and to the awakened realization of
the profit to be made on every farm
by the raising of a flock of poultry.
Mr. Paul Duncan, who has been
operating the hatchery since its in
ception here, will be in charge of it
at Spindale. After January 1, 1929,
Mr. Duncan will become manager of
all the hatcheries operated by The
Federation in Western North Caro
lina.
Mr. Duncan is considered one of
the outstanding poultry men of North
Carolina. Prof. Winters, of the Ohio
State University, following a visit to
Forest City a short time ago, said
that he considered Mr. Duncan one
of the best informed poultrymen in
North Carolina. Mr. A. W. Farnum,
of the Quaker Oats, Co., stated that,
if he was in the poultry business, he
knew of no one that he would rather
have in charge than Paul Duncan.
Mr. Duncan has had broad experience
in this field, having operated com
mercial hatcheries several years. He
was one time connected with the
State Test Farm at Swannanoa, in
charge of the poultry there, and has
owned and operated the Forest City
Hatchery for sometime.
