A HARD MORNINGS work paid off at noon with a groan ing table at the Ivan Sollenberger farm. Eleven of the trac tors in use pulled plows, while two others disced the ground. With 23 plow bottoms in use, it was hard for any one tractor to make more than one or two rounds on the average strip. In addition to the plowmen, other neighbors contributed the use of trucks and other equipment. (LF Photos) Neighbors Assist in Spring Plowing At Ivan Sollenberger Farm Monday Plowing at the Ivan Sollen-i berger farm, R 2 Hailwood, was| completed at 11 30 a. m.

So John H Herr, a neighbor, Some Strains Have an Inherit- ed Tendency to Pick There are a few strains that are good layers of nice, large eggs, that have to be debeaked or specked in order to prevent heavy losses from cannibalism In our experimental wbrk at Babcock Poultry Farm we have found considerable varia tion in the cannibalistic ten dencies of various strains and also a variation in the canni balistic tendencies of the daughters of the various sires' being used in pedigree pens. (We have many strains here from all over the country that -are being tested on our re search farms and we know the good and strong points of not only our own birds but prac tically all other strains). If you happen to have a flock of pullets that is inher ently cannibalistic there’s not much jou can do except de beak or put on specs. If you'd like to raise a flock of birds that does not .get into a lot of mischief on picking, why not try some good healthy Babcock Bessies and follow our instructions on raising them and managing them and have a flock you do not have to debeak or spec.
