Outlook for the Poultry 
Business 
[The following notes are fair samples 
of many received from readers. There 
is evidently a great difference of opinion 
among poultrymen regarding future op¬ 
portunities.] 
Our outlook for the poultryman for 
the coming season is briefly that his busi¬ 
ness must be on a quality and business 
basis. If he has good early-hatched 
stock, well reared and cared for. and 
markets his product to the best advant¬ 
age. I can see nothing to worry about. 
While there is and is likely to continue 
to be an increase in the quanity of poul¬ 
try and eggs produced in the country, I 
do not believe that the consumption of 
poultry and eggs has reached a point 
where it cannot expand and absorb all of 
the increase in production and at sus¬ 
tained profitable prices to the producer. 
The real trouble lies in the fact that a 
very, very small proportion of the buying 
public knows what a real fresh egg tastes 
like, and if they did they would use a 
great many more than they do. I can¬ 
not agree with my good friend Greene’s 
rather pessimistic article published a few 
weeks ago. a. b. hall. 
Connecticut. 
I think the man who stays in the poul¬ 
try business year in and year out is the 
one who succeeds. I don’t believe eggs 
will be much if any higher than the last 
two years, as they have been high any¬ 
way, but I do not think feed will be as 
high as it is at present, not for all Win¬ 
ter anyway. I think one would lose more 
money by selling out and stocking up 
again than by sticking in the game. 
Vermont. o. c. ciiadwick. 
A survey of general conditions in Illi¬ 
nois shows there is a shortage of good 
laying stock. There isn’t any doubt in 
my mind but that a good egg-producing 
flock that has the vitality to produce is 
going to make their owner some money. 
The scarcity of real good quality of good 
producing stock is going to make the de¬ 
mand very brisk, and the prices very 
good. My advice to poultry breeders 
would be to cull closely, unload all the 
undesirable, and keep those fowls only 
that are good representatives of high- 
standard quality. Eggs are going to be 
high this Winter in all markets. There 
is going to be a great demand for breed¬ 
ing stock, and the poultryman who has 
them is going to reap a nice financial 
profit above the cost of feeding. 
Illinois. c. p. scorr. 
By all means cull out all unprofitable 
hens. Be quite severe in this; with the 
present high prices of feed, and about 
normal price for eggs, it is only the best 
producers that can make profit. Even at 
present, with high feed prices, it does 
not pay the poultryman to stint by un¬ 
derfeeding or purchasing feed of poor 
quality. This would mean cheating him¬ 
self in the end by low production, also 
poor condition of fowls; this, too, would 
have bad effects on your next year breed¬ 
ers, by producing poor offspring. 
While we are purely breeders of high 
record performers, we have to use these 
methods, as we find every dollar we earn 
is made by careful thought and hard 
work, and find it is not a get-rich-quick 
occupation, so cannot understand how the 
average poultryman can make a profit if 
loose and careless methods are employed. 
Our advice is. know your flock, know the 
value of your feed, know the best and 
most economical methods of keeping your 
best in prime condition. Such poultry- 
men can usually weather out bad seasons. 
The present outlook will spell disaster 
to many a careless poultryman. 
New Jersey. fred warren. 
I feel very optimistic regarding the im¬ 
mediate future of the poultry industry. 
Although feed is excessively high right 
now, it cannot remain so for long, as 
there is one of the heaviest crops of 
corn and wheat the country has known 
just ahead of us. 
It is apparent that the present high 
prices are due more to artificial prices 
more than to actual supply and demand. 
With fewer eggs in storage than usual, 
with many people bound to sell off their 
hens on account of the immediate high 
prices of feed, I believe we are going to 
see within the next six months, attrac¬ 
tive egg prices which will allow their 
production at a substantial profit, even 
in spite of the high costs of production, 
and within the next year, with feed prices 
back to normal or below, I cannot see 
anything but exceptionally attractive 
conditions for the man who stays with his 
hens. HARRY R. LEWIS. 
Rhode Island. 
This past season has been the worst I 
have known, and I feel quite discouraged. 
However, uot nearly the normal number 
of pullets has been raised throughout the 
•country this year and rising feed prices 
lias caused a heavy and unusually early 
marketing of hens. I feel quite certain 
that eggs will go higher this Winter than 
in several years, and that egg and chick 
business will be better next Spring than 
in a long time. My own Fall business in 
the sale of breeders, hens and cockerels, 
has opened finely, much better than any 
year I have known yet. My own point 
of view, of course, is that of a breeder 
instead of a commercial market egg pro¬ 
ducer. I am so confident of the coming 
year that I am expanding in every way 
my finances will permit, w. H. b. Kent. 
New York. 
I believe that for the poultrymen who 
can increase their flocks for the coming 
season there will be a good profit, as the 
high price of feed and the low price of 
eggs will force many of the small poul- 
frymen out of the business. Those who 
have the capital to carry them over will 
make a good profit. I find that many 
poultrymen and farmers who have been 
keeping only a few hundred have been 
selimg off their stock rather close this 
season, as the market on poultry has been
