HENS
PRODUCE
EGGS FOR CHICK STOCK.
Plant
Has Incubator
of
Capacity
Walla valley with a 400 egg incu
bator and 100 trap nested high pro
ducing hens. Mr. Vanskike moved
his plant here five years ago and
this year hatched 50,000 birds.
He has now 1100 White Leghorn
trap nested hens from which he
secures his eggs and in addition to
hens. he carries on a large turkey
hatching business.
The plant has an incubato capa-
city of 37,000 eggs and he has in
stalled during the last two years,
capacity of 24,000 eggs in new
Jamesway electric incubators. It has
a semi-basement building 30x60 feet
and the ventilation has been great
ly improved. The Jamesway is the
very latest in hatching equipment.
The laying house is 22x200 feet, di
vided into eight pens. Each pen
holds 150 birds.
Part of the laying house is double
walled and part single, and during
the past five years only one winter
season of a few nights required
brooder stoves. There is a new brood-
er house 20x48 divided into three
compartments of 2400 capacity tot
al. Two broods are carried through
during the season. The plant has al
so another building 16x18 divided
into two mating pens where all
pedigree work is done from high
record hens from the main flocks.
The offspring from this special ma
ting stuff is all wing-banded at day
old, so a complete record is thereby
kept of the breeding of each bird.
The pedigreed cockerels are used
for the breeding at the plant and to
put out flocks from which the Vig-
orilts buy eggs. Particular attention
is paid to the selection of hens tor
special mating, not only as to high
egg production, but tor vigor and
longevity, and standard leghorn type
capable of producing a lot of eggs
during her lifetime. The plant still
has hens used for breeders, five
years old and still heavy producers
as shown by the trap nest. This
special mating and production of
cockerels produces good dividends in
the type of birds and in the market
ing of a wonderful quality of eggs.
The Vigoorbilt birds have won at
every show where they have exhibi
ted. Has two silver cups at Walla
Walla, and have won a fair share
of the premiums at the project fair
each year, and will have a large ex
hibit this year. They were placed
third at the Pacific International
last year against strong competition.
In addition to the White Leghorns
the plant has just hatched 600
Rhode Island Reds from the best
breeding stock in the Northwest.
Vigorbilt will sell day < T ‘ chicks
from these pullets and has made a
contract with the house to furnish
more eggs next year. There is a
need and demand for heavier birds
than the Leghorns and Vigorbilt
will cater to that trade from now
on In this territory in addition to
continuing with more volume and
further improved breeding In the
Leghorn line. The plant now has an
order for 3000 fryers of the heavy
type and cannot find the eggs tn the
northwest to supply the order.
Mr. Vansklke believes that the
hens on this project should be in-
creased to 200,000 and that an as-
sembling plant should be built for
better care of the eggs for market
ing. There is no danger of over pro
duction of poultry and poultry pro-
ducts.
R. G. Penney of Stanfield is go
ing out of the poultry business be-
cause of lack of time due to other
interests. He has a laying house on
his farm near Stanfield with a ca
pacity for 480 hens and has carried
them to full capacity every year ex
cept this one. The house is modern
in every detail with water furnished
by an automatic well system.
Mr. Penney has been in the busi
ness since 1927 and now is looking
for a competent person to make use
of the laying house and poultry e-
quipment on his farm and also on
the Wm. Hoggman place, where
there is equipment to run 1000 lay
ing hens.
Mr. Penney says. "The poultry
business has always made money and
the country Is naturally adapted to
chicken raising.”
High School Teacher Elected.
Mrs. Beulah V. Adams of Seattle
has been elected by the school board
of District No. 14 to teach two clas-
ses in English, music and domestic
science. The hoard has not yet been
