Farmers Plan
More Crops
For 1960
Harrisburg, March 22
More corn, rye, tobacco and
soybeans and less oats and
potatoes will be grown this
year in Pennsylvania, accord
ing to farmer’s March 1 inten
tions. -
The State Agriculture De
partment agency pointed out
that these are intentions and
may not materialize. Winter
kill of small grains, weather
and soil conditions at plant
ing time, economic condi
tions and other factors, even
effects of this report, may
affect these intentions.
Winter wheat acreage,
planted in the fall of 1959
for harvest in 1960, was less (Jse Classified Ads.

For Top Quality Eggs
Last fall, at NEPPCO,
our egg quality was highest
among all entries. These were
hen eggs—after they had
been laying 12 to 14 months.
That's when Quality Eggs
pay best.
At Bill Burling's you can
find just what you want.
You have eight top strains
and crosses to choose from.
Our Sexlinks are very popul
ar with nearby farmers.
Then there are the “pick"
of the best strains and cross
es for Broilers, or meat-and
eggs.
One customer said our
Carey Leghorns are: “Just
wonderful birds to handle”
That’s important in high
powered Leghorns.

important facts on a

All growing pullets—light, medium and heavy strains—must

a problem, but Early Bird’s experience provides the answer.
Since oat* are one-third fiber, indigestible by poultry, increasi
amount of oats in the ration reduces the rate of growth and fat dcpoi
in pullets. Early Bird Growing Mash, fed with 50% oats in confinemw
60% on the range, restricts pullet growth exactly enough so that they «
PROPER CONDITION when put into the laying house,
OVERrestriction, pn the other hand, results in UNDERdeveloped
that must complete* their growth later, in the laying house, reducing «
flock returns. If excessive amounts of indigestible fibrous materials j
in a growing ration, feed requirements are greatly increased, resulting ii
higher pullet costs.
