Between our human ears and thee

Pounding And Shower
For Mrs. Mattison
AVERAGE 442 | 170 | | Total $9,336.54|Av. $2.25
It is seen from this summary that these flocks varied in size from
18 to 1836 birds, and that the average for the ten flocks for the year
was 442 hens. The net income per flock varied also from $1.13 to $3.22
per hen, with an average for the ten flocks of $2.25 per hen.
Records on these flocks included all receipts from sales of eggs and
poultry, from which was taken all expenses except that of labor. As
all these but one were farm flocks, and the labor was performed in
each case by the person owning the flock, the labor income is figured
to mean the amount of profit the poultryman received for his labor
during the year.
These records are in line with past records in the county and the
state, and represent another demonstration of the fact that the far
mers of McCormick County can make good money from poultry as a
side line to their farming operations.
County Agent, Morgan, makes the statement, and says that his rec
ords will bear it out, that no source of income on McCormick County
farms will return as large a profit for the amount invested and tire
amount of time taken up than will purebred flocks of poultry well
housed and fed. The poultry business is growing in the county, and at
the same tiihe, the quality of the birds on the farms is being steadily
improved. McCormick County needs more per.:try.
On Tuesday evening of last
week the T. E. L. Class 6f Mc
Cormick Baptist Sunday School

which some fifty or more ladies of
the community took part. Mrs.
Mattison was recipient of many
- lovely and useful gifts that will
be of material help in refurnish
ing her home throughout.
Recipe writing, conversation,
music and refreshments were en
joyed during the afternoon.

Some Go Up-
Some Go Down
(From Union Daily Times)
It’s that way in business, and in
life generally. While some con
cerns are tottering upon the brink
of the grave, others, in the very
same community, flourish, grow,
prosper. Why is that? No one
reason can be given that would
answer every case, but there is one
reason that is never absent; the
business that is slipping down is
one whose owner refuses to change
to meet changing conditions.
Wedded to old ideas, he refuses to
see any good in “new tangled”
ideas. Having gone a certain way
for years, and having achieved suc
cess in the uniform path chosen,
the owner refuses to introduce new
ideas and new methods. Slowly,
but surely, the foundations begin to
be cut away and the tottering
building finally tumbles. To carry
on a business now as you carried
it on thirty years ago is like a
man living in the automobile age
yet clings to the old horse and
buggy methods. A farmer who, in
the tractor age refuses to move up
and out of the old fashioned single
plow and mule age is in the same
sad plight. The merchant who at
tempts, in the age of good roads,
telephones and automobiles, to
get along in business without ad
vertising is fighting a losing bat
tle.
