They were well attended, ex

better. I have somewhat to com
plain of those who accepted free
eggs from the state. . or one
clause of the agreement was that
they woulji attend these schools.
But their reports show that most
of them have made good prog-
progress, and results, alter an,
is what we are after. But un
lessjvve can show by reports that
something lis being done, the
work will be discontinued. I
have not yet received reports
from many who received eggs
from the state. Mr. Hershall
McSwain, Landrum Route 1, has
submitted the best reoort ud to
date. Last year he received 30
eggs, hatched out 14 chicks, rais
ed 8 pullets and 5 cockerels. He i
sold and kept for breeding pur
poses 435 eggs and 4 cockrels
for breeding purposes, besides
all the eggs his family used; and
has on hand 45 pullets and cock
erels and eight hens for future i
use. Others who have not re
ported may have done better than
this. , All who received eggs
I from the state and have not re
ported, please do so at once. Just
crive me the number or eercfS -re
ceived, number broken if any,
number ot chicks hatched, num
ber raised, number eggs sold and i
number now on hand.
