Makes Profit On Small Poultry
Flock
Mrs. E. B. Whittaker, who lives in
the Younfrs school community, kept a
record for 11 months on ner form
flock of chickens which inclu.led 15
40
birds. These hens produced 5,158 efir^s.
of which 1,068 were u.sed in the home
Also, 63 chickens weie
home. The total ejpsr
$72.17, with total fowl income $70.70,
making a total l^bor income above
feed boufrht $151.87. This (fives an
averafre labor income above feed
boujrht of $2.00 per bird. The feed
was produced on the farm.
Mrs. Whitaker is a believer in the
keeping^^of a few milk cow.‘;. The rec
ords kept last year, for 12 months,
shows that she milked six cows dur
ing the year. Mrs. Whittaker jsold
whole milk to the cheese |)lant
(ireenwood for four months and sou’
cream to the Newberry ('rearnery th<
remaining months. Her records show
she i*eceived a total cash gain ab<tve
feed cost of $20H.(i2. She spent only
$3.00 for feed during fhe year. The
•remainder of the feed was produced at
home. The ave»*age cash gaip above
feed cost per cow was $34.67. In the
above figures there is included $12.25,
which Mrs. Whittaker received for
two small calves .sold to a market.
However, the above figures do not

Very few changes have occurred
during the past twelve months. Om* of |n. jj
particular significance, however, was thr
the resignation (*f Dr. F. I.. Web)),
who resigm'd his position and entereil
general prattice last April. Dr. VNehh
ha«l been ass<K’iated with the institu
tion since the year J923. A man of
sterling character, ever faithful to
duty, loyal to ami co-operative with
his associates, he endeared himself to
every employee and inmaU* of the in
stitution during his service here. He
served as physician, assistant
intendent an«l acting superintendent
with markeil efficiency. Soon after

Our daily per capita cost for main
tenance has been gradually reduced
by the compelling force of retrench
ment and we expect the average to
little less than 54 cents, during
year 1932, It is a matter of rec
ord that there has been a decline in
the operating costs of this institution
every year since it began work in
1926,— some of the tleclines being very
large, compared with the preceding
years, and while low operating costs
and economy are very de.sirable and
have certain plea.sing liistinctions in ^
the minds of a great many people, in j
this type of work, it is unrea.sonable!

points to outrank in importance the!
standards and methods of operating.
F'arm and Dairy j
We continue ,to operate the farm,'
partly as a means of employment and'
training for the boys and for profit
as much as possible. The oat harvest
was very good and 2,006 bushels were
threshed, after utilizing*-some to be'
fed in the sheaf. The almost unprece-
dente<l dry .summer curtailed our pro
duction of hay, corn, ensilage and
vegetables very seriously. On account
of financial difficultie.s, w’e continue
