Cooperative Hatcheries Aim to Boost Sumter County Poultry
The piece argues for cooperative commercial hatcheries in Sumter County centered in Americus to serve a 30 to 40 mile radius. It cites Ashburn’s success with a 10,000 egg plant, costing about 2500 dollars, and notes 40,000 chicks hatched with 30,000 eggs turned down due to capacity. The column links poultry growth to local wealth and public utilities as civilizing forces.
