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. Wingard of Lexington got
the highest production in the group
of flocks between 201 and 500 hens.
His flock of 391 White Leghorns
laid 17 eggs each during the month.
Mrs. T. D. Arant of Fort Motte
got the highest egg production
among flocks with more than 501
hens, her flock of 617 White Leg
