• The hotel was one of two prop-
erties purchased by the court at a
combined price of $17,000. The
other' was the Myre's Safety Sta-
tion building and lot.
Both pieces of property were
owned by Homer Ponder.
Certain to be moved Into of-
fices in the hotel building are
members of the Extension Service
force. And Judge Owens said the
office of William Moore, area
supervisor of the. Texas Depart-
ment of Public Welfare, would
pfbbably be moved to the build-
ing also.
Also under contemplation is
the moving of perhaps two court-
house offices;’ but the judge said
this was indefinite at the-present
moment.
When commissioners purchased
the two buildings, they said ac-
quisition of the property would j
serve a two-fold purpose. It was ■
explained that the immediate pur-
pose in view was to provide addi-
tional office space. And Judge
Owens added:
“It is only a matter1 of time be
fore the county will find it nec
essary to build a new courthouse
College Station — Fleck re-
placement coat*, determined by
pullet coats and rate of lay, next
to feed are the largest expense
item in producing eggs. There-
fore, says Ben Wormeli, extension
poultry husbandman, the cost of
producing pulleta is a major con-
sideration in a successful poultry
operation.
Generally, points out Woymeli,
pullet costs are figured on the
basis of the number of (lays re-
quired for the flock to reach 60
per cent production. At this rate
of lay tno pullet will normally pay
a return over the current feed
costs. In th 1965-56 Texas Ran-
dom Sample Test the pullets av-
eraged 172 days (24% weeks) of
age when they reached 50 per cent
egg production. The range of the
entries tested was fram 157 to
181 day;:.
Wojmell estimates the major
costs r of'v producing * pallets at
about $240 par bird. He breaks
the figures down this way; 110
pullets $66 (10 extras to provide
for 10 per cent mortality!; feed
$100; $25 for labor and^jjie same
for other costs other than feed,
chicks and labor. Thus $216 would
be needed to get 100 pullets to
the stage of 50 per cent produc-
tion. The costs will varj^Ju* adds,
depending upon prices and prat-
tices of individual poultrymen. A
high figure will make the replace-
ment cost per dozen of eggs high
during the laying year. \
Excessive mortality of feed
wastage during the pulleJL glowing
period must be avoided if costs are
to be l“p* low. snvs Wormeli. He
advises a daily check for spotting
“off-condittons" and recommends
immediate diagnosis and correc-
tive treatment to prevent aerious
disease or parasite troubles.
"" Wasted feed is money thrown
away. Provide at least four inches '
of fe*jdpr *pace pier affcy two
month* «ud IfVel at !
least* two inenes below* fh* lip of
a good feeder. Keep the feeders
shoulder high to the pullets as_„
they grow, advises Wormeli.
Plenty of good, clean water is
a must. Pullet* will drink two to
three pounds of water for each
pound of feed consumed and the
water trough space should fequal
at least a sixth of the feeder
space. An inch per bird is recom-
mended during hot weather. Final-
ly, says Wormeli, the ultimate
profit per hen depends on how
well ami cheap the pulleta were
produced. • .
