Egg production is expected to
triple in this county in 1954 aid
ed by the marketing knowledge
of five poultrymen working to
gether.
Commercial flocks, inspired by
a 4-H Club project five years ago
have increased from two in 1949
to more than a dozen now, and
38,000 baby chicks are due this
month and in February.
Five producers banded togeth
er informally, two years ago,
called their business Wilco Eggs.
They thus cut down on the num
ber and expense of trips to Ma
con marketing the eggs.
Sidney Miller, a graduate of
State College of Agiiculture, was
one of the first to begin commer
ciai egg production. He formed
a company with Walston Smith,
Perry Dominev and Burke Wil
liams and they are now selling
100 cases of eggs per week to
Macon grocers.
Miller is building a 10,000 ca
pacity laying house and expects
to have 15000 hens producing
eggs by late summer.
