Big Four Poultry Journal Vol 25

Excerpt from Big Four Poultry Journal, Vol. 25: January 1916 We have laid our plans for more business in 1916 than we have ever handled since locating here. We never have raised enough chicks to supply the demand on us for show birds and breeders, and our supply of table eggs and poultry has always been short of the de mand, and we do not expect to meet the demand for some years to come, if at all. But we can sell every good 'bird raised, and at good prices. We haven't a cock bird left for sale now, yet inquiries for cocks are coming in every few days and we don't know of any cocks (buff Rocks) for sale in this state at this time. We are preparing to increase our beds for producing cabbage, tomatoes, celery, ground cherry and cauli flower plants for sale, and we shall raise more straw berries and raspberries also. We have had several hard freezes followed by thawing temperature this fall which caused some of our fall settings in the straw berry beds to lift out of the ground and die. We shall fill in the vacant places with vigorous plants just as' soon as the frost is out of the ground 1n the spring. This fall was quite warm, as a rule, and we can not put on the straw covering until the weather is quite cold, because, if we did cover the plants early and the weather would be warm, mould' would form in the straw which would ruin the plants.
