Mr. Powell admits that at thgt time i( was not mucl» o f a farm from gep- cral appearance. The people whr had been working the place had it rent free, because it was not consid ered possible to make a living on the place and pay rent. Start. With G ood Stock When Mr. Powell started to gc into the poultry business here he did not make this mistake so often made by would-be poultrymen. He bought the finest strain o f leghorns he coulc' buy, paying a higher price than he would have had to pay if he had bought inferior stock. He started with 310 birds. From those 310 white leghorns Mr. Powell says that he made a profit of $1000 the first year, which, o f coursr did not allow fo r labor. But if he had charged regular wages fo r the time necessary to care fo r the flock he still would have had a nice profit.
