Billings February 7 A Montana Development association bulletin recounts H. S. Crosby of Anaconda turning a small leased plot into a thriving poultry operation. He started with 1,600 White Leghorn chicks, sold market fryers at 50 to 60 cents per pound, and after building a 20 by 100 foot house saw pullets lay 129 eggs the first day and 400 daily by November.
