Excerpt from Modern Egg Farming Ery few fortunes are made from poultry, but thousands of newcomers since the War are making a good living from egg production. It would be useless to deny that there have lately been failures in the business but that is because so many quite inexperienced men, in every way unsuited to a country life, took up poultry farming after they were demobilised. There was a big poultry boom then, and, now that the least capable of the post-war egg-farmers have found their inflated expectations without foundation and retired from the business in disgust, the reaction has set up a certain amount of depression in the poultry world. We are now back to something approaching pre-war conditions, and, in spite of the many poultry farms in the market, there is still ample margin of profit from egg production. The present time is, in my opinion, a much more opportune time to make a start than has occurred during the last six years or more. Values are now right down and there is no fear of the heavy capital deprecia tion which all who built their farms within a year or two of the Armistice have sufiered.
