Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from American Poultry World, Vol. 8: November, 1917
We do not expect to waste any energies with strictly fancy breeds. During the hatching season, we expect to employ the same plan in the furnish ing of eggs for hatching, and day -old chicks. We expect to buy these in lots of 500 and or more, and distribute them in neighborhoods. We especially are going to do a great deal of work in this direction this coming year. We are also planning on starting several thou sand Boys' and Girls' Poultry Club mem bers in the pure-bred poultry business by supplying them with eggs for hatch ing. Each member will have to set at least three settings. We expect to buy thes eggs in lots of and divide them into settings and distribute them that way. In this way these eggs can be bought reasonably. The County Agent will act as local agent. At this time we have a very energetic, enthusiastic and well-prepared lady, Miss Lilian Hazle, Poultry Club Specialist, wh0'will devote all of her time assisting these members. It should of course be understood that the main object of this plan is to intro duce more pure-bred chickens.
