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.

Tuten gave a very fine talk on
“Child Welfare.” A Penny Wise
contest was enjoyed after the busi
ness was concluded and a social
period enjoyed by all. The hostess,
assisted by Mrs. W. M. Talbert,
served frozen custard and angel
food cake.
