When a hen is in a single mated pen, a pen with one cockerel, her eggs are identified by the use of the trapnest. After the hen has laid, her legband number is placed on the egg as she is removed from the nest. When the time arrives for the eggs in the incubator to be transferred to the hatcher, all eggs from one hen are placed in a wire basket, known as a pedigree bas ket. As the chicks hatch, they are removed from the basket and wing banded. These wingbanded chicks t- i l- are known as peaigreea chicks. The wingband stays on the bird all of its life, serving as a means ot (Poultry Program Page 2) By C. F. PAKRISH In Charge Poultry Extension N. C. Slate College Recently a number of agriculture leaders in Haywood county held a conference and decided upon a program design ed to bring about increased income for the farmers of the county. Six branches or phases of agricultural endeavor were selected, and were designated to received special emphasis during the year. Immediately following this the question arose as to what I would be the best method of ap proach for putting over this pro grain of work. Meetings Held Meetincs were held, communities organized, and a leader was desig nated for each subject which would he emphasised. These leadare made contacts and met with interested people, and a definite objective was set up. This was followed up with a series nf community meetings, in which Kxlension poult rymen partic ipated Poultry Discussed At each meeting the various phases of the poultry industry were discussed. Later, farm visits were arranged where special problems existed and addition;.! information was "given farmer. results were amazing, and today poultry houses are being built all over Haywood county. More concrete results are being secured than at any time during the past.

Poultry Commission Here Has A 14-Poinl Program Increased production and great er profits is the goal of the poul try commission as established here under the Community Develop ment program. The commission found that poul try is especially recommended for small farmers, and as a supplement for the farm income on larger farms. The commission earlier in the spring, held seven meetings in the county, and explained to hundreds of farmers, the recommendations, which are as follows: 1. Purchase chicks from pul lorurn passed or piillorum-cleaned hatcheries. 2. ,"ui'''hase chicks which are adapted lo the type of poultry business interested in.

This would be exactly double what the industry was worth in 1948, according to government figures. "The poultry business in Hay wood is definitely on the up-grade, and on a solid foundation,'' Mr. Corpening said, as he reviewed the growth of the business since late in January. Last January a large number of Haywood farmers visited Chatham county, and there studied the poul try business which has grown to a $12,000,000 annual business. "That trip gave our farmers the needed inspiration, and today we are seeking the results," the coun ty agent said. Last January there were about 3,000 broilers in the county now there are about 300,000, or have been that many, because a large number have already been put on the market. With the beginning of the Com munity Development Program, a Poultry Commission was set up to make recommendations on what should be done in the poultry in dustry for Haywood county and from these recommendations thera are nineteen poultry houses either constructed or under construction, ranging in capacity from one thousand to forty thousand broil ers. Also, more and more interest is being shown In the production of hatching eggs. Some of the poultrymen who have constructed houses, or are in the process of building, are: Mil liard Moody, on Dellwood Road who has the largest house, with a capacity of 40,000 (it might be call- ( Incomes Page 2) Jonathan Creek Folk Start Laying Flock i iiiwiiiiiii m miii nnnni m iim 1111111 mil n - iririn niTTfnri m 'Vrs.
