Show Poultrymen Urged To Keep Records Poultrymen cannot measure the net returns or determine the leaks and losses of the business each year without keeping careful, accurate records, rec-ords, says Carl Frischknecht, extension exten-sion poultryman of the Utah State Agricultural college. Realizing this fact, the extension service has been conducting a poultry record-keeping project in the state since October 1, 1931. Monthly pen record card3 for use in the coops, as well as a single poultry account book in which to record production, pro-duction, inventories, expenses, and receipts, have been printed. Through a system of monthly reporting, each cooperator is given an opportunity to compare the egg production and mor- ; tality once ea;h month , with the average av-erage in Utah, in other counties, with the ten high, the ten low, and with the hen and pullet flocks of the state. In addition, the monthly summaries report the cold storage holdings of eggs and poultry on hand in the United Unit-ed States and contains a question and answer section that enables each co-operator co-operator to receive assistance with the problems, he is confronted with from day to day. Pen record cards and copies of the Utah State Agricultural college poultry poul-try account books can now be obtained obtain-ed by contacting your county agricultural agricul-tural agent or by sending your request re-quest directly to the extension service ! of the college. Since the old hens and the pullets are now being culled and counted prior to placing them in the laying pens and the 1935-30 poultry record- : keeping year begins October 1, it in j important that pen record cards and copies of the Utah State Agricultural college poultry account books be -obtained at once by all the poultrymen who desire to cooperate in this project pro-ject the coming year, Mr. Frisch-knecht Frisch-knecht say.?.. , i |
