Campaign to place 100 hens on every farm gains momentum
The Food Administration and Department of Agriculture push to boost poultry output under the slogan On every farm 100 hens. The plan envisions 6000000 farms producing 600000000 hens and 60000000000 eggs annually, highlighting chickens as a key resource and waste reducer. It stresses chickens as best for general poultry production and for salvaging kitchen scraps, farm waste, and insect control. A classroom anecdote about France is included, followed by state actions to curb wine production by foreign-born residents under Hoover-era conservation rules.
