last Thursday by R, W. Graeber, as
sisted By Acting County Agent L C

tended by 37 students,' members. of
the agriculture classes' at Perquimans

plot was measured off and thinned
five years ago by former County
Agent L. W. Anderson and Graeber.

ted the owner $.48,. while birds pro-J
dueing 260 or more eggs averages
$4.76 labor profit.
"Th difference between these two
averages, Mr: Parrish said, "is the
difference between good management
and bad management between good
feeding and poor feeding.
Pointing te the old, widely-proven
axiom of the poultry Industry, "the
more they lay the more they pay,
Mr. Parrish said that good flock man
agement, proper feeding and frequent
culling must be observed or the far
mer will find himself providing his
hens with free board and room. ' , '
Taking another look at the sum-'
maries, hens laying from 140 to 16flL
eggs a year averaged $1.62 labor pro-'
fit over all costs; from 160 to 180,,
$2.88, and from 180 to 200, $4.23.
These averages represent the
