W e w onder som etim es w h eth er
some th o u g h ts or ideas we su b m it in
these n o tes really prove of in te re st
to o u r read er. B ut as th e days go by
an d we occasionally h ear w ords of
com m endation, or a re asked to ex
p lain m ore fu illy some p a rtic u la r
point, we a re led to believe w e a re
a c tu a lity to u ch in g a responsive chord
in th e o th e r p o u ltry m an and w om an’s
life. At least, “ b e tte r to have tried
and failed th a n not to have tried a t

W e w onder w hy alm ost everyone
has the idea th a t the g re a t p o u ltry
breeders and h a tc h e rs of o u r n atio n

been. As I w rite these notes to n ig h t
I can n o t thini» of a sin g le b reeder
th a t had w ealth w ith w hich to begin
his p o u ltry v en tu re. A rchie L arson
of Idaho cam e n e a re r th a n any one
else. He w as considered m ore in th e
lig h t of a h obbyist th a n any o th e r
breeder, b u t is recognized as a m aster
breeder of W h ite L eghorns today.

to Ills death said, "m y w ife’s in a b il

be bred up so th ey w ould lay, caused

now en jo y s.”
