Why the Single Comb White 
Leghorn Is Our Choice 
Mrs. Floyd W. Owen 
American Agriculturist, February 16, J 
A BOUT 15 years ago we began poultry 
■ keeping on a small scale with a 
10 x 20 foot house in which we kept about 
60 mongrel hens. The Leghorns were not 
as popular then and there were none in 
our community. We did not like to see 
all colors and sizes together in our flock, 
so picked out the most of a kind which 
happened to be Barred Rocks, secured a 
good male bird and succeeded in raising 
as nice a flock of pullets as one could 
wish for. 
However, we felt as though something 
else would suit us better and accordingly 
changed to White Rocks, Wyandottes, 
Rhode Island Reds and even tried In¬ 
dian Runner Ducks. These all did 
excellent work for us but when we saw a 
beautiful flock of Single Comb White 
Leghorns, we decided that this was a 
breed we must try. We have never re¬ 
gretted it. When spring came with the 
larger breeds, we dreaded going after 
the eggs on account of the sitting hens, 
for we had a small incubator which we 
used and considered a sitting hen as very 
unnecessary and besides it cut down the 
egg yield to have several of the hens con¬ 
tinually confined in prison as we called it. 
Started With Baby Chicks 
As I stated before we were very much 
taken up with the flock of Leghorns which 
we saw and read all available articles in 
several poultry and farm papers through¬ 
out the winter of that year and in the 
spring we purchased 200 baby chicks of 
a good egg-laying strain. By this time 
we had built another henhouse and 
succeeded in raising 80 nice Single Comb 
White Leghorns and also had a nice flock 
of about 80 Barred Rocks to compare 
them with. 
The results from both flocks were very 
satisfactory, but as we had increased our 
incubator capacity and were very pleased 
with the Leghorns, we decided to give 
them a trial alone for a year and accord¬ 
ingly disposed of all other fowls. 
We had kept account of all feed which 
had been fed when we had the larger 
breeds and although feed prices per 100 
pounds was the same at the end of the 
year, we found out that our feed bill was 
about $35 per 100 hens less than in 
previous year. This was quite an item 
and added to the non-sitting of the Leg¬ 
horns turned our activities to this breed. 
A few years after this start, we bred Rose 
Comb Brown Leghorns, but as they were 
so much smaller in size and laid smaller 
eggs than our white ones, we soon dis¬ 
carded them for our old standbys. 
Since then we have kept increasing our 
flock in numbers, and breeding it up in 
size, egg yield, early maturity and winter 
laying ability until we have a flock of 
which we are very proud and have re¬ 
ceived many compliments on. We now 
have a flock of 700 head, four large hen¬ 
houses all electric lighted as well as our

The Problem of Surplus- 
Dumping Breaks the Market 
(Continued from page 159) 
that it is possible to influence in one way 
or another. If the manufacturer rids 
his market of surplus in one way or 
another he probably holds the home 
market higher for the time. Perhaps he 
cannot hold it unreasonably high be¬ 
cause someone else might go to manu¬ 
facturing. Perhaps wheat cannot be 
artificially high, for many other farmers 
can grow wheat. Assuredly the dairy¬ 
man cannot boost his fluid market very 
much before some other group of farmers 
cuts his foundation out unless all get in 
line together. Even then a price beyond 
reason will not stand for milk or any farm 
product. You can’t hold farmers to 
exorbitant prices. There is little danger 
of milk selling too high with any organiza¬ 
tion working together and little danger of 
farmers uniting in one voluntary organiza¬ 
tion for a long time. j
