Show Chickens Are Money-Makers, Says Booster Would a $50,000 monthly pay-oil coming into the Gunnison Valley he an incentive for a real "boost" Sur the poultry industry? This very thir.g is possible, and the only need to create this big income is to have every farmer farm-er maintain a flock of chickens, ranging rang-ing from 3C0 to 500, of high class stock. This was the expression of a well known poultry producer to a News reporter Wednesday. The industry is, and has been, a paying proposition, and has been proven in different parts of Utah where time, care, and study hava been given, continued the informant. If the fanners and housewives will combine and place 100,000 chickens throughout the valley, it will be but a short time until money will be pouring pour-ing in and the depressed period will be checked, and every producer of eggs and chickens will be on a steady payroll. American Fork, Draper, Manti, Richfield and other places where grading stations are maintained, maintain-ed, little squealing is heard of "hard"' times for the siriiple reason that the products from the flocks are making money for the poultrymen. Not so much at the present time, but taken on an average, the poultry raiser, is doing far better than many of his ' neighbors, who strive to make a living liv-ing otherwise. It has been pointed out by expert poultrymen who have studied climatic cli-matic and other conditions, that this valley is an ideal place for the poultry poul-try business. Those who are now engaged en-gaged in the business have proven that the industry can be made a6if? success. And, too, , if the industry should grow to any proportions, it necessarily follows that a .. grading station would be established here. This would afford extra employment and create a payroll, which the valley val-ley is sadly in need of. Local poultrymen have arranged for a series of lectures, which are to be given at intervals during the winter. At these meetings an expert in poultry lines gives valuable information infor-mation concerning the plans of preparations, pre-parations, care and feed, the types of coops to build, and the best and most profitbale way of marketing. The meetings are open to the public and (Continued on last page) Chickens Are Money-Makers (Continued from page 1) memlxers are eager to have prospective prospec-tive pultrymon meet with them. The Utah Foultry Producers cooperative co-operative association had its birth in Gunnison many years ago. Since its incorporation it has grown to a mag-n'tude mag-n'tude almost beyond belief and today maintains offices, grading and storages stor-ages at the capital city. While the organization has climbed to the top of the ladder, it has made money for j the poultry producers. |
