CLEMSON COLLEGE, April 23.— “With low price of eggs the only way to make hens pay is to get a large number of eggs per hen,” says P. H. Gooding, extension poul- tryman, pointing out that among poultrymen keeping records 10C scattered throughout the state made a net profit cf 12.4 cents per hen during March. Mrs. Roy Gramiing of Orange burg made the best record amonf owners of flocks cf less than 51 birds, her 39 Rhode Island Ret: hens having laid 28 eggs each dur ing the month. J. W. Suttles o Level Land made the best recon in the class of flocks between 5 and 500 birds with 105 White Leg horns which laid 24.3 eggs each. W D. Sutherland of Belton made the best record in the class of more than 500 hens, his 507 White Leg horns having laid 21.6 eggs each In the calendar record keepers, J. M. Hemminger of Willington made the best record with 228 White Leghorns which laid 22.1 eggs each. “These farmers all made good profits during March and this was accomplished by obtaining a high egg production,” Mr. Gooding states. “Most farmers overlook this factor in competing against a low egg production. Since the farmer has little to do with deter mining the price of eggs, he should see that his feed cost is kept at a minimum and egg production at a maximum.” The April meeting of the Ameri can Legion Auxiliary was held with Mrs. Claude H. Huguley at her home here. The meeting was op ened with the Lord’s Prayer led by the Chaplain, Mrs. J. E. Britt.
