\ . THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1931 BXPERTS WILL NOT | USB BOILING WATER Chickens Are Picked Systemically ——$—$— NORTHDAKOTA'S 1931 ‘PLAN CONTEMPLATES ON BIRD'S FEATHERS Declare Too Hot Water Red- dens Skin and Makes It Easier to Tear VETERAN PICKERS SPEEDY Poultry Brought $50,000,000 Into Drought-Stricken Mis- sissippi Valley Springfield, Mo., June 2.—Chickens were the largest contributing facior in drought relief in the valley, according to the Producers’ Produce company here which is said to be the largest farmer-owned and operated poultry plant in the world. Sale of poultry and poultry prod- ucts brought $50,000,000 into the stricken area, proving that the hen was a valuable aid to the Red Cross in its relief work. The poultry plant is the last word in modern packing houses. It em- Pploys hundreds of girls to pick the thousands of chickens killed and packed in its plant. This picking branch of the industry is the most novel because it contradicts all known procedures formerly used in plucking | the feathers from fowl. “Never put a fowl in boiling water | or pour boiling water on its feathers,” E. L. Pool, prcduction manager of the plant, cautions. “Boiling water not only blisters the skin and makes it easy to tear, but worst of all it is Pretty sure to turn the skin a reddish color, which is much less appetizing than a yellow or white cast. Just Warm Water “Heat the water to a temperature of 128 or 130 degrees, which means water about as hot as the average Person can stand on his hands, and immerse the fowl, feet, head, feath- | ers and all tcr 30 seconds. After that hang the bird up head down to let it cool and drain for four or five min- utes before picking. After such a system is followed, the chickens are taken by girls and hung up by the feet on cords. Then the picking is started. All the feathers are pulled straight out so that no broken stems are left in the skin. The large feathers in the wings and tail are removed in three quick motions. Next, one swipe from the neck toward the tail cleans the back. A sideswipe to the right and one to the left cleans the sides and a couple of brushes over the breast finishes the body. There's Science In It The wings are stripped next of the largest feathers and then a down- ward thrust with both hands removes everything to the neck. The legs come last in an upward thrust which divests the fowl of about all its! feathers. | Pin feathers, small feathers and hairs are removed next beginning at} the top and working down. | Experienced pickers turn out as many as 139 clean chickens every Seven hours, Hens are supposed to be | the easiest to pick, with springers second and tough roosters last. Great cave must be taken in pi paring poultry for the market the storage route, since any abrasion or cut in the skin is nearly certain to become a breeding spot for mold. All range-run poultry brought in- to the plant is generally placed on fattening rations in batieries for 10! days or two weeks. The plant usual- ly has more tnan 50,000 head on feed. { | Mississipp' | {game is arrived at. way, at Springfield, Mo. —A Series Explaining the Contract Bridge System— By WM. E.
