sonably expect an annual income of $5,440 from a well-managed flock of 4,000 birds. They figure 4,000 birds as a “one-man business.”

An increase in Virginia's laying flocks would not only benefit producers. It would also result in an expansion of many allied industries. The- additional gross income which would result if Virginia’s laying flocks were increased by 2,113.000 birds, would amount to around $$112,750,000* for the feed industry'; $960,000 for the hatchery industry; $500,000 for the breeding flock industry; and would add over $15,000,000 to farm income, the economists estimate.
