GREW, Agricultural Students Visit Poultry Farm Fifteen Agricultural students of the Camden high school made a one day trip to Charlotte N. C. to visit Ed ward Crawford's Poultry Farm. This tour was sponsored by the Camden . chapter of the Future Farmers of America and was conducted by Mr. H. Granade, Agriculture teacher. The boys were given an excellent oppor tunity to study improved pouitry practices at first hand. This farm has 6,600 layers on it and of this nium/ber 1,600 are used for breeding puiiposies. Mr. Crawford had 1,800 baby chicks on his farm when the visit was made. This is one of the largest and most profitable poultry farms in the Southeast. Mr. Crawford took great interest in showing the boys his plant. The boys were able to see how to care for baby chicks, breeding stock, laying hens and how to incubate eggs. This trip gave the boys some first hand infor mation in all phases of the poultry industry. This large flock is owned by the Crawford family, and the family take? care of all phases of this large plant. The triip was worthwhile and a re newal of interest in poultry is antici pated. The following boys made the trip: Ralph Lee, James Ward, Earl Jordan, Earnest Graham, Troy Godwin, Claude Jackson, Herman, Jackson, Len^rd Hasty, Lenard Storey, Julian v Burns, Douglas Kennedy, L. O.
