Wonderfully odd census tale of hens and pennies
An odd piece mixes farm humor with numbers about American chickens and eggs. It cites a census found in November Technical World Magazine showing 223,698,005 laying-age chicks in the United States, valued at $70,000,000, and annual egg yields that would supply 403 eggs per person. The text then shifts to a Benton County bank report by James Fraer, detailing 22 banks with $4,137,477.96 in deposits, listing each bank by town and name with scattered figures and misread OCR.
