Poultry

There are 170 laying hens and they are producing at present 91-dozen eggs a month. In view of the uneconomic rate of production and, in our opinion, the unsatisfactory method of feeding the poultry, we recommend that the page 313Department of Agriculture be requested to report on this activity with a view to either dispensing with the poultry or alternatively increasing the hens sufficiently in number to provide a full egg supply in the camp. If the second alternative is practicable, it would, in the view of the egg shortage throughout the Dominion, be most desirable.
