Merritt of Au- Home Demonstration Agent’s (Calendar April 2-8 Clemson, March 22.—February records on demonstration of flocks on 95 farms reporting before March 15, with a total of 16,379 hens, showed an average egg production of 13.6 eggs per hen, and a labor income of 12.5 cents per hen for the month, according to P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman. The hens ate 18 cents worth of feed each, and returned a total in come of 34 cents, including sales of eggs and poultry, leaving an in come above feed cost of 16 cents per bird for the month, the rec ords show. Since the average monthly charge for interest on in vestment, depreciation on equip ment, and all other costs except feed, is approximately 3.5 cents per hen, this deducted from the 16 cents income above feed cost, leaves the labor income for the month of 12.5 cents per hen. Leaders in the different groups are given as follows by Mr. Good ing. J. D. Stansell of Pelzer got an average egg production of 18 eggs from 43 White Leghorn hens, which was the highest in the group of flocks with less than 50 birds in them. Miss Carrie Lee Willis of Cottage- ville received 19 eggs each from a flock of 127 hens. This was the highest record in the group of flocks containing between 51 and 200 hens. D. I.
