الوصف: Boy Handles Big Poultry Business: Champion Poultry Club Member Gets Profit Of $1029.10. ; BOY HANDLES BIG POULTRY BUSINESS, Champion Poultry Club Member Gets Profit of 11029.10. "If you succeed in small things, you stand a pretty good chance to make a go of big things." This seems to be the philosophy of Stevens Strember, the Champion poultry club boy of the state of Washington. Stevens is sixteen years old and lives out from Lynden in Whatcom county. Last year he enrolled in the garden club work and from efforts on a small patch, made a profit of $43.80. This year he took up chickens as his project and started with 386 hens. His record book of expense and profit shows a net gain of $1029.10 from this number of hens. This was entirely from the sale of eggs, the receipts running from $86.72 to $417.60 per month, while his expenses ranged from $31.90 to $155.27. It is interesting to note that the average number of eggs laid by his hens during the year was 164 per hen, or 4,604 dozen. There are no boarders on his farm, every hen has to account for eggs produced. In speaking of his success with .the poultry club work during the past year, Steven says: I do all the work with the chickens alone, and use my own judgment in feeding and caring for them. I take care of 1000 baby chicks every spring and like the work very much. I intend to have 660 chickens next year, for it is easy, work when you like it, and it surely pays well."
