1 000 Leghorn fowl sold for 17%
cents, and 1 200 heavy fowl sold

with a high of 22% cents.

Sheet Aluminum
t
Shade Found
Best for Cattle
Cue near Yuma, Arizona, where
maximum temperatures often,
reach 110 degrees and above for
three months or longer, the Uni
versity of Arizona’s College of
Agriculture has made tests to
determine what kind of shade is
best and most economical for cat
tle.
Cattle under the aluminum
shade made the largest gain, fol
lowed by thatch, snow fence and
open pens. Although the steers
and heifers responded similarly
to the various types of shades,
the heifers were affected more
severely than steers by the lack
of shade
