Poultry Breeders
Conference Draws
50 Poultnmen
t 1 ’
The 12th annual Poultry Breed
ers Conference at Pennsylvania
State University June 18 was at
tended by 50 poultrymen and
educators.
Max M Brender, prominent
bleeder from Ferndale, N Y,
discussed the probable future for
poultry breeding Brender said
mortality will be “licked” in fu
ture flocks. He claimed most hens
will live a full life spon of IV2
to two years Egg laying averages
for flocks will be 300 eggs and
over, he predicted
“The egg size of the future will
begin close to large eggs and re
main large through the laying
life of the birds,” Brender stated.
‘ Under good management and nu
tntion practices, fertility and
hatchabihty will ' approach 100
per cent The efficient, economi
cal feed converter of the future
will weigh somewhere around 4
to 4Va pounds at maturity,” he
added
TOMORROW’S FRESHLY-laid
egg will be high AA, it was point
ed out Quality eggs will be free
of blood and meat spots and will
be encased in smooth, hard shells.
Nutrition will play an important
part, and will also provide a uni
form-colored egg yolk
Brender claimed chick mortal
ity m the brooder can be eliminat
ed His company had only 186
losses out of 7,148 chicks hatched
in tests-an average of 2 6 per cent
mortality Nineteen out of 65 sires
tested had less than one per cent
chick mortality Five of the sires
had no chick mortality
“The .10b is to eliminate fami
lies which produce high adult
mortality,” Brender continued
“We must discover and work with
those families which gave little or
no losses Where there is one
sire whose daughters will live 100
pu cent, eventually we can reach
100 per cent ‘liveability’ for all
pullets housed.”
THE PROMINENT poultry
breeder said he already has a
strain of Holland ducks, called
“Khaki Campbells,” which lay big
ger eggs than Leghorn hens, at a
i ate oi nearly one egg a day
For a new experience... drive the all-new
MASSEY-FERGUSON Rg

Ph. EL 4-8721
Wve got it now... and you must see and drive it yourself. It's the great, all-new Massey-
Ferguson 65, the tractor we’ve needed in this area for years. It’s got the Ferguson System
and it’s a big 4-plow tractor. Here’s the tractor that’s really been built by you ... You’ve
asked for it, and now we’ve got it
Come in and try it out... You’ll see how it can help you get more work done, faster
«nd at less cost.

25 Acres <if Fsfhh Machinery to Be
On Exhibit During Plow Matches
Convenience and comfort are
two of the built-in attractions of
the mammoth farm machinery
show at the 16th National Plowing
Contest and Conservation Exposi
tion August 21 and 22 at Hershey,
Pennsylvania.
According to David G. Unger,
who heads up exhibit arrange
ments, the farm visitor was given
first consideration when the com
mercial exhibit area was selected
The area is located in the cent
er of exposition activities, Unger
says, and is served by several
major roads Both the contour and
level land plowing events will be
held within a short stroll of the
machinery exhibits. The main sta
tion for a shuttle bus line to
wagon trains is located on the
edge of the exhibit area
LARGE PARKING LOTS and
(he Hershey Stadium border the
commercial exhibit area. The
These ducks weigh about four
pounds
“The Egg Layer of the Future
will be a cross between a number
of pure strains,” he claimed. “This
hen will be a healthy, vigorous
stram-crpss-hybnd. She will be
as uniform as if machine produc
ed Her desirable genes will com
plement one another and her bad
genes will be bred out, or subdu
ed The strain cross-hybrid 15 here
to stay unless a ‘mutation’ or
‘sport’ pops up to out-perform the
h\bnd,” he predicted.

world’s largest 'hay show, plus a
local dairy show and other Ex
position activities, will be staged
in the stadium.
“Broad aisles within the com
mercial exhibit area will prevent
pile-up of spectators,” Unger
says, “while handy food centeis
and refreshment stands will eli
minate long lines and mass star
vation ”
Exhibits will be readied for the
Pennsylvania state plowing
matches Aug. 19 and remain in
place until Monday morning, Aug
25 m order to accommodate crods
attending the Pennsylvania Dutch
Days (Aug 21-24), and the_Penn
svlvama Poultry Festival (Aug.
23).
• ALL THE FULL line farm ma
chinery companies have purchas
ed exhibit space as well as most
of the other major farm equip
ment companies. Displays will
feature everything from tractors
to barn cleaners and such diverse
items as fertilizers, seed corn,
fencing materials and irrigation
equipment.
The equipment exhibition area
is already being boomed as the
biggest outdoor machinery show
ever held in Pennsylvania if not
the entire East Coast It will cov
er a minimum of 25 acres of
meadowland which is ten times
the acreage of the farm machin
ery exhibit space at the world
famous annual Pennsylvania m-
Jdoor Farm Show each January.
