One of the most successful broiler
lerations ever completed in this
operations
community was reported Tuesday , of

tryman. A group of 1,400 chicks raised
in batteries yielded a profit of 80 %
cents per bird, with the bulk of the
lot being sold at nine weeks of age.
Elder, who has been raising broilers

HANG UP
GENTIY,
PLEASE/
Hanging up the tele-
phone receiver is like
closing the door on
a departing guest.
It’s courteous to

The weather was good for farming

getting up a stand of cotton, some
have planted the second time, and
will have to the third if they have

consumed five and one-third pounds
of feed each. The first group of 900
was marketed when nine weeks old,
with the balance requiring 11 weeks
to make the average weight of 214
pounds. Mortality was rather high at
15 per cent, considering the profit
shown on the venture. Chicks used
were 1,400 Austra-White cockerels
purchased from one of the larger
Texas hatcheries at $8.20 per 100.
Although battery raised broilers
make somewhat faster gains thanl
pen-fed broilers, the normal expect-1
ancy is for an average feed consump-
tion of seven to nine pounds of feed
per bird to marketing size. Commer-
cial broiler operators consider profit-
