Miss Nora Walters of Rule, Haskell County, began canning and selling chickens in 1933. Although the samples she sent to the South Plains Fair at Lubbock in 1933 arrived too late to be judged, she prevailed upon the judges to sample her product. Their favorable comments led to several orders. Over a period of ten years she netted $1,780 by canning the culls from her flock of white leghorn chickens, which ranged from 275 to 400 layers. Miss Walters was a member of the Bluebonnet Home Demonstration Club. Note that Miss Walters used specially personalized labels for her canned chicken.
