NORWICH BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, T9T9 AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS POULTRY IMPORTANT FACTOR IN WORK OF RECONSTRUCTION By P. G. HOLDEN. On the average farm little attention is paid to the raging of poultry and yet nothing else pays so well for the amount of money invested and the amount of care required. On the §,000000 farms in the United States there is an average of only 44 head of poultry to each farm. In some states the average is more than 100. The average hen lays but five dozen eggs a year. She should lay eight dozen. 1t §s not uncommon for a hen to lay 12, 14, and even 20 dozen. It there were an average of 100 hens on each farm in America and each hen laid eight dozen eggs a year, these e2gs at 30 cents a dozen would be worth more than $1,500,000,000. This would be over $30 for every man, wo- man, and child living in the rural dis- tricts of the United States The value of the eggs alone, to sav nothing of other poultry would be 60 per cent. of the value of all the hogs in the United States on Janua 1 last, at $18 a hundred pounds: it would be 56 per cent. of the value of the entire 1918 corn crop a! 81 a bushel: it would be £3 per cent of the entire 1913 wheat crop at bushel: it would exceed the entire 1918 oat crop on basis of 75 cents a bushel 'y $375,000,000; it would be five times alue of the products of all the 7 war gardens and three times the ue of the products of 1918 war gardens, which set record never be- fore equaled in t ountry. e laying hen is deserving of care and attention.

Tt is tase that grein production here i not efual to that of some states b we have on hand and can produce feeds scitdble Yor ewins and should make wse of them o such an extent as is profitable. Per- sons not adapted to swine ralsing or whose conditions are unsuitable for such should not undertake it, espe- ially on a large scale. Nevertheless a few hogs might be crown on farms where none are kept at present. Growing and fattening pigs on the different farms by bovs and girls make possible to use refuse or ines pensive feeds and, at the same tim make use,of labor which otherwise might not be utilized for any good purpose. The progress of pig club wezr with boys and girls since its in- irgduction into this state indicates 1he importance and popularity of this kind of work. It was begun in 1917 with an enrollment of 540 members who srew and fattened 600 pigs. In R the enroliment was increased to } members who grew and fatten- Ni more than 00 pigs. From a fi- nancial standpoint this work hasd been ot considerable value while from an educational standpoint the value is inestimable. The utilization of garbage as a feed for. swine offers an economical means »f producing pork in this state. Throe products, | cities have already taken action in disposing of garbage in this way and the results obtained are favorable. Other cities might do well to investi- gate the matter, The improvement of herds and the practice of modern methods in feed- ing and caring for swine seems highly — e BANK STATEMENTS No. oF REPORT The Thames N.
