Page 6) Experiment Farm Attracting Many Traffic through the Mountain Experiment Station here is gain ing almost daily, it was learned from Howard Clapp, director in charge. Visitors to the farm are showing. a large increase over previous years, and Interest in the many projects on the farm are bringing a lot of people from a wide area. Twenty-three Haywood poultry- men are realizing anout a mous and dollars a week from the sale of certified hatching eg'js through the Haywood County Farmers Co operative. Each week a truck load of 1,250 dozen to 2,000 dozen are shipped to hatcheries. H. M. Dulin, manager of the Cooperative, said that the price paid for hatching eggs averages about twice the price of regular market eggs. "We have consis tently been selling $4,000" per month In hatching eggs, and all Indications are that the averaga poultryman will net $3 per hen." The hatching egg program was inaugurated here In March 1949, and while many changes have been made, Mr. Dulin said,- It now looks like the correct methods have been found. . One major change was raising pullets according to a speci fied formula right here In the coun ty. The day-old chicks are brought In. and fed scientifically for six weeks. Then after vaccination, and a careful check, the 6-week chicks are sold the producers for 65c each. The feeding and care Is contin ued, and it has been found that the pullets can start producing hatcn lng eggs by January first. After a ten-month laying period, the hens are sold on an advantageous mar ket. A truck from the Cooperative picks up the eggs at the farm of eneh nroducer weekly. A check for last week's eggs is left, which means a weekly cash income to the producer. Mr Dulin said that a goal 3.000-dozen per week was In the making, and many oi me pro ducers are nlannlna to trebble present flocks for next year. He estimates that 35 to 40 producers will be engaged in the work next year. The largest single producer at present is Jack Rogers, with flnrlc of 1.200 birds. The hatchery has given favorable reports on eggs produced in Hay- wood, with a hatchability rating as hlEh as 91 per cent. The Cooperative has employed Norton Justice, a specialist, to test flocks, and render all assistance to poultrymen that is needed. "We deliberately started small, In order to prove that there was cood money to be made hatchina eeas." Mr. Dulin said "Now that we have established safe, sound and profitable pro gram, we plan to seek our goal of 3,000 dozen matching eggs per week. The market Is unlimited, and everything is favorable for this expansion." The Christy strain of New Hamp shire Reds are used exclusively by the Cooperative.
