TURKEY SALE It has been decided to load a car of turkeys and other poultry at Hay esville on M9nday and Tuesday, November 19th and 20th. The farmers should make a spec ial effort to get their turkeys as fat as possible. One buyer advises that' all turkeys weighing less^than eight pounds be'held and grown out until the Christmas sale. Bringing' a poultry car to Hayes ville should enable the farmers to get better prices for their turkeys and other poultry. No doubt they will cooperate to make it a success ful safe by bringing all surplus tur keys to the car. The man that buys for the car will not buy at Hayesville on November 13th. The House That Eggs j Built Out in California at the Los Ange- j les Couhty Fair there was an exhibit of a little house builtt of eggs. Who-' ever arranged the exhibit must have heard about W. L. Shrank, of Ham-, ilton Cousty, Texas, whose profits from poultry have enabled him to build and completely furnish a com fortable and beautiful home which he calls “the house that eggs built.” After trying for a number of years to get enough ahead out of his cot toft crop to build - a home, Mr. Schrank decided to try a few chick ens. Nowadays, he sells an average of a crate of eggs a day, has two Jersey cows, fifty sheep, a flock of turkeys, abtait 400 White Leghorn hens and rents 60 acres to a tenant who is required to raise all the feed he uses. He has set an example that is being followed by 36 of the 42 homes in his community, each . of which now has from 200 to 500 hens. Mr. Schrank is just one of many Southern- farmers who have found that pbultry, when well managed, will bring returns at least double those of any other farm crop, con sidering the investment. It is an easy matter to secure a net profit of $100 to $300 a year from 100 good hens. All over the Soutth, poultry is building homes, paying grocery and doctor bills, clothing families, educating children, installing water works and lights, and providing reg ular incomes sufficient t omeet ex penses as they are incurred. George Weathers, of Bowman, S. C., started five years ago with four hens and a rooster. He now has 450 White Leghorns and is getting 250 to 260 eggs daily. W. H. Clough of Pierce County, Georgia, has been in the poultry business seven years. He can’t begin to count his chick ens—he has to measure them by the acre. Mr. Clough dosen’t keep as many records as some folks but his business keeps on growing and he says his bank account shows the bal ance i on. the right side, so he is pretty well satisfied. Incidentally, he raises a bale of cotton to the acre and corn that will yield around 40 bushels. Poultry brings upward of two million dollars annually to the citi zens of Greene County, Tennessee, whose flocks range from a few doz en birds per farm up into the thou sands, with a net income per hen of around $2.00. The 90 White Leg horn heifs owned by Mrs. H. T. Moore, of Kerrville, Tenn., averaged 112.4 eggs per hen and made their a net profit of $241.75 during tthe first ix months of 1928,-, Turkeys and guineas can also be raised profitably „ op practically every Southern farm. For the Thanksgiving and Christmas mar kets, of 1927, the Black Belt of Ala bama sold 31 carloads of turkeys .for $120,000. Along about this time of the year, Mrs. Oscar Duke, who lives near Griffin, Georgia, can step out in the back yard and count at leatst 100 beautiful Ffrurbon tur keys, for which she has no trouble gettitng fromt two and a half to five dollars a piece. The guinea fowl used to be considered more of a cur iosity than anything else but that idea has changed, and’there is a growing demand for guinea broilers at prices that tshow the grower a mighty nice profit.
