CAME WEST 2D POOR HEALTH ‘ Saturday morning Harries, an old friend of Tancred, outlined the fight he made against adversity and ill health. Tancred came West from and obtained work on boata He was unable to find the health he had traveled across the continent for in that position and studied the possibilities of other occupations. At that time poultry was a aide line with most farmers, the average |farm bird laying 10 eggs a year. Her egg production was scarcely the equivalent of the teed she con- sumed, Thru persistent culling of his flocks and the adoption of the trap nest, Tancred kept and bred the birds with the highest egg produc tion as shown by the records of the trap nest. As a result the egg production | steadily mounted and @ strain was | developed which led the world in egg: jlaying. For three consecutive years Kent birds broke the world’s record, jand with the general adoption of Tancred’s methods the poultry busi- ness has become one of foremost importance to the country and to Washington state. STARTED WITH SMALL FLOCK “I remember that Tancred started with a small flock of about 50 ordt- nary birds while he was still on the boats,” said Harries Saturday, “Ho kept working for two years and in Vesting his salary in his little chick- en business. “When the trap nest was tested out here Tancred was among those who adopted it, but, unlike the others, he stayed with it when the others abandoned it. He soon gave up his other work and devoted his full time to poultry. “From that time on his farm began to attract attention and more and more men began to specialize in poul- try. They followed his methods with stiecess and he gained national recog. nition, His birds were in demand everywhere, “He never kept a large flock, usually between 3,000 and 4,000, but he aimed for quality, He bred only his best layers and the sons of his best layers. He used to ship to all parts of the country and abroad, In three months last year he sold $26,- 900 worth of his stock." FOUGHT ILL HEALTH FROM VERY START Tancred fought ii! health at the start of his venture and finally mas. tered it to a large extent. In 1912, however, his leg became infected and amputation was necessary. His spir- it waa not affected by his mixfor- tune, but on the contrary, his deter- mination was Sntensified. It was after the loss of his leg that Tancred made his name known internatfon- ally among poultrymen. Hundreds of 300-egg birds have come from the Kent farm of the plo- neer poultryman and he increased the average lay of his flock trom 70 to 220 eggs n year and produced in- dividual record-breakers who Iald in the neighborhood of 320 regularly. It was a Tancred bird which brought the highest price on record when sho sold for $1,000, NEVER FEATURED ANY FANCY STOCK Harries tells of the ploneer's early struggles and his interest in the business when he attempted to stage a poultry show for Kent, some years ago. “Tancrea never went in for fancy stock, but he had the best fancy stock. men he could find enter exhibits, and had a good exhibition of other poultry, The public took little in. terest in it, however, and Tancred never got over it. Now his name tn connection with a poultry show spells succesn,"" ‘Tancred’s long and uncompromis: ing fight against i health ended quietly Friday at his home in Kent, Success had come first, And Tan: ered died within slght of his prize flocks, mourned by the thousands of poultrymen to whom his’ namo brought prosperity, pees le ean JOHN ©, KENNEDY will deliver a lecture Sunday evening at & o'clock in the Labor Temple, Sixth and University, on “Russia in 1929."
