This is a letter that Mrs. Marion Banks, home demonstration agent, wishes published in connection with her poultry program which she is carrying out this month: Dear Poultry Raiser: As we enter the New Year we should remember the misfortunes : of the past only as helpful remind- J ers in making new plans. Our new plans should be made after taking (stock of present conditions, and looking ahead as far as possible in to the general economic situat^bns of all agricultural ap$ industrial activities. , ' ;>i In making 1935 plans for the poultry program as a part of the agricultural operations, the follow ing statements from the U. S. De partment of Agriculture will be encouraging and helpful: “The outlook for poultrymen dur ing the coming winter and spring is rather favorable to those in a position to retain and feed their layers. The high price and scar city of grain is forcing drastic re duction in numbers of poultry, es pecially in badly damaged areas. Egg production has been and will continue to be materially less than last year, and considerably * below the five year average. Further prediction is made that relative de creases will occur this winter and next spring, somewhat in line with expected further reduction in rela tive numbers of laying stock. The government reports fewer hens on farms, but more eggs per hen this year than last. In fact, the reported yield on November 1st is 9 per cent higher than last year and 2 per cent higher than the five year average. It would seem, therefore, that flock owners are doing some rather careful culling of their flocks, and are using good HOLLYWOOD THEATRE McCORMICK, S. C. Friday, February 1st, 7 p. m. and 8:40 p. m.

S. STROM Main Street McCormick, S. C. Jn&UcataU Ingredients of Vicks VapoRub in Convenient Candy Form VICKS COUGH DROP judgment in the marketing of non layers. Fowls are selling 4 cents higher than a year ago. Spring chickens are selling at about 4 cents higher. It is more difficult this year than last to get fine grades for meat out of the general run of chickens. The drought conditions probably led to neglect of poultry during the grow ing period, and chickens have not been able to take on the flesh since to bring them up to last year’s av erage condition.” South Carolina poultry raisers should try to keep as many hens for layers and raise as many chick j this spring as they can feed well. Those farmers who have plenty of corn on hand have a fine oppor tunity to make profitable returns from poultry. Remember the members of the families need eggs every day for food, then the South Carolina Markets are never fully supplied by the state.
