"Osbom turkey farm close to Aspers, is today a big and successful business and it started when Paul F. Osbom, a printer, bought a hundred poults to raise In the backyard of his summer home," according to the article. "This Pennsylvania turkey grower who began with 100 poults 14 years ago -aid what all the beginners dream about: he multiplied the size of his turkey operations year by year until his annual harvests now gross a hundred thousand dollars, or thereabouts. "His story is one that shows how important every small detail of good management can be. Second, he knows every item of cost and studies what it means to his prospects for profit.

Made Early Profits "Paul Osborn owns a successful printing business in Biglerville and 1936 bought one of those 'little i places in the country' which occupy i the dreams of so many city folk. In 1940 he built a plain little 12. by 12 brooder and started 300 baby chicks. Then on June 5 he put 100 Broad Breasted Bronze poults in the brooderJiouse after the broilers were sold. He raised 64 of his 100 poults and sold his market birds at 21 and 26 cents per pound.

Feed cost him between $2.55 and $3.20 per project was fairly profitable. "So, next, year, 1941, he put up another 12 by 12 brooder house and increased his flocks of both chickens and turkeys. He liked his poultry alvennire but soon figured that, in order to keep the farm chores from conflicting with his other business, the farming would have to be expanded enough to justify a full-time hired man. "Consequently he took the big plunge and built a 20 by 40 two- story brooder house with 30 feet i of porch along each. side.

He kept a record of every penny that went into his turkey operations--used his modest profits plus a cautious investment of additional capital from the printing business to expand his operations. Crisis Brought Exansion "The common crisis of specialty farming--the loss of an essential employe--hit him in October, 1942. William C.

S. Naval Station in Japan. Shank. working on the engine of an craft, is the son of William Shank, Aspers B. 1.

Paul Osborn, the printer, met the situation by moving to his farm and doing the turkey chores himself for the rest of the season. What bggan (Continued on Page i) Recoid production on Penn- s.vlvania fanm for October a tribute to iwultvy breeders of the state who are constantly striving to develop layerh that will produce more etfgs than their ancestors, according to Miles Horst. state secretary of Agncultuie. Keystone State output for October set an all-tune record of 309.000.000 eggs lor that month, and it was accomplished with fewer layers than a year eai her. Horst said Federal-State surveys showed.

Layers in flocks averaged a. record 14.2 egs per bird during October compared with 13.59 hi September and 13.52 for Octooer last vear. In addition to the continuing trend toward higher production per bird, the secretary said mild weather and early entry of pullets into lay- i ing nocks ere factors partly sponsible for the excellent showing. October egg production in the state exceeded September output 15 per cent and was 5 per cent above October 1952. The number of havers totaled 21,780,000 compared 1 with 21,800.000 a year previous.
