even worse than 1931.

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. Fun- ,
