Petty, Boyd, Texas. You have
seen his birds at the County Fair
and noted their numerous win-
nings. In 1927 he captured seven
ribbons in Wise and Young
County. Mr. Petty is a banker
but takes the greatest delight in
tending to his flock at off hours.
The egg production is greatly
stressed in his breeding system.
He has bought very expensive
birds direct from the Coffman
Farm of Josephine, Texas. Come
and see Mr. Petty’s flock and
