Agricultural Class Project In Crowing
Chickens Proves >t.rr Bu-ooeesful
In  Belmont County Sshool.
With a total labor Income of 11371*
89 for the season, boys of the vocational agriculture department at St.
Clalrsvllle High School feel that poultry pays If proper methods In care
and marketing are used. Early In the
present year, ten boys of the agriculture department, with the advise of
their instructor, orgsnlsed the Better
Poultry Company. Officers were selected, the compsny wss financed,
and each member of the company ta
take care of his share of the 6,000
baby chlcka which the company purchased. Brooders, feed, etc., were purchased through the company while
plans for care and marketing were
-worked out In the regular sessions of
the vocational agriculture clsss.
.Everything from the fsmUy wood
shed to the modern poultry house
wss used to shelter the chicks.
In spite of many unfsvorable condl-
Uoiih 3,29-8 chicks out of the total of
5,000 were produced for market Front** ranged from $6.64 to 1187.04 with
an average of 1137.11.
With feeding and marketing methods very slmillsr among the different members; the percentage of
chicks raised was naturally an Important factor ln profits. The boy who
received the lowest profits raised only
165 chicks. Early markeUng was also an important factor.
One boy kept all tho pullets he raised and now has a flock of 115 white
Leghorns, which has »t9*9*J0** nog
