“Stay in the Buggy” 
A lot of farm women have told me lately that they are going to quit raising 
chickens entirely—no money in it—prices too low—feed too high—Washington 
decreeing ‘“‘poultryless days’’—and so on and on. And I don’t know asT blame 
them much. It’s a provoking situation. 
But I remember what my wise old father used to say when I would get dis- 
couraged about some crop—‘‘Henry, the best time in the world to stay in is 
when a lot of the rest are getting out—don’t get scared out—just stay in the 
buggy—often it’s the man who jumps out that gets hurt.” And, as usual, he 
Was right. 
I think right now is a good time to stay in the chicken business. I feel certain 
that this price situation is only temporary and you can save a lot on the high 
priced feed by growing most of it yourself. Such things have a way of straight- 
ening themselves out. When people begin to get hungry for chickens and eggs, 
they will bid them up mighty fast, and the grower who stays in the business will 
be right there with the goods ready to cash in. [ feel sure that six or eight 
months from now when the new crop of chickens is ready to cash in you will 
be making good money on them. The in-and-out-ers generally lose while the 
ones who go right ahead regardless of temporary conditions are the steady 
winners. 
I always think of Mrs. Field’s father—one of the best 80 acre farmers I ever 
knew. Always made money on hogs. Could come nearer to averaging 10 pigs 
farrowed to every sow and 9 of them grown out, than anybody I ever saw. 
Grew his own feed for them and kept the best conditions for them. —But, 
good year or bad year, he always kept just 10 brood sows, no more and no less, 
grew out 90 pigs, kept 10 of the gilts for next year, and fed out the 80 fat hogs. 
And the average profit over. the years was mighty good, 
Same way with the chickens. ‘Stay in the buggy.’’ Raise the usual amount—
