Tom Humphrey entei'tained sc
twenty-five guests at his hatchery on j *
Center street Wednesday evening to |
a fine dinner. Being held in the
hatchery beside the mammoth incu-
bators and as the meeting was to
foster poultry raising chicken was the
main course on the menu of the splen-
did meal.
Music during the evening was furn-
ished by the Bois d’ Arc Bottom Boys
Mr. Humphrey in his remarks told
of the partnership existing between
the farmers who produce the eggs and
the hatchery which incubates them and
supplies the chickens, being to their
mutual interests to produce the best
possible. The hatchery is paying
practically double the market price
for eggs to be used for hatching, so
the egg producer who takes extra care
of his flock is paid for his efforts.
One of the fine things the hatchery
Joes to insure getting the best eggs
is to blood test the poultry, and also
assisting chicken raisers with their
various problems of feeding and
disease control.
John R. Spivey, vocational agri-
culture teacher and secretary of the
chamber of commerce ,told of the
poultry projects of the members of
the class and their efforts to not go
to the extremes in egg producers or
show birds but to work for standard
bred flocks of high egg production.
Miss Minnie Eldridge, county home
demonstration agent, spoke of her
work with the women of the county
along poultry lines and the splendid
progress being made.
R. E. Old, president of the poultry
association, spoke of the work of that
body in promoting poultry raising. He
said that he had observed thatTarmers
who raised poultry found it profitable
and., t’nat calls for Red Cross flour
came from places where there were no
chickens.
Ray Edwards spoke from the
poultry raiser’s viewpoint and voiced
his appreciation of the efforts of the
hatchery chamber of commerce, coun-
ty agents and other organizations in
pi’omoting the industi-y, which assists
all when it aids one.
Mr. W. C. Homeyer of the Universal
Feed Mills, Fort Worth, was the prin-
cipal speaker of the evening. He has
devoted most of his life to the study
of poultry and his suggestions on
poultry raising were very helpful. He
said that poultry is the third largest
division of agriculture, and that it
brings in more money than the entire
cotton crop in the United States, which
shows its great importance. He
stated that the little hen ON the farm
pays more dividends than anything
OFF the farm. Eighty percent of the
people are directly interested in
poultry and the other twenty percent
indirectly. His suggestions on poul
try raising ,care of eggs for hatching,
and proper feeding spelled profit to
his listeners.
The efforts of Mr. Humphrey in
securing better poultry for this coun-
ty, and a premium for the eggs from
carefully cared flocks should l’eceive
the cooperation, of everyone.
Lynwood Massey, Jr., who has been
working in Dallas for some time is
here to work at the Carmichael-Mas-
sey shoe store in the absence of his
father, Lynwood Massey, Sr., who was
seriously injui’ed recently by an ac-
cidental gun shot.
When Miss Minnie Eldridge, county
demonstration agent, was visiting rel-
atives in Tennessee during the Christ-
mas holidays she was photographed
with Alvin York, the World War’s
greatest hero, at his home a few miles
from where her relatives live.
A small fire in the proof room at
the bakery Wednesday evening did

burned out recently when it was
