Newton, N.C., March 22 (AP)—C.H. Rockett of Conover in Catawba county will net over $600 through the sale of broilers from his poultry flock this year, reports County Agent J.W Hendricks.
Five hundred fifty have already been sold, and he has 1,000 more which will be ready for the market within the next 15 days. The average weight of those sold was 1.9 pounds, and Mr. Rockett finds a ready market at good prices for all he can produce of this weight.
This is Mr. Rockett’s first attempt at raising poultry for the market, and according to the county agent he is so well pleased with the results that he is planning to increase is flock another year.
