Hens Forget to Hatch Eggs in Bible Lands
New York reports from Near East Relief on Miss Phyllis Brown’s findings in Palestine and Egypt. Native incubators remain primitive, some dating to Pharaoh’s era, with eggs tested by feel and no thermometer. Centralized hatching occurs in large facilities, eggs bought at one cent and chicks sold back for two and a half cents, yielding modest profits. Refugee orphans show promise in agricultural education, with over half placed on the land after graduation at sixteen.
