One significant change in
the plots this year will be
the elimination of the popu
lation checks. All plots will
be planted k at the rate of
20,000 plants per acre. In
former years, replicates of
the variety plots were plant
ed at 16,000 and 18,000 pl
ants per acre, but research
has shown increased ■ pro-'
duction at the higher rate
of planting in the county.
Since all tests have shown
better yields at the 20,000
population, all plots will be
planted at that rate, Co
unty agent Max Smith said
this week.
The plots this* year will
be located at Lime Spring
Farm, yan the Running Pump
Road, Lancaster Rl, and on
the farm of Glen Wissler,
Ephrata Rl.
On Lime Spring Farm,
owned by Mrs. Gertrude
Stauffer, and tennanted by
Glen Brubaker, the plots
will be located on Conestoga.

COMBINATION
Good management practices combined with Early Bird quality feeds
make a winning combination for any poultryman.
Careful, accurate records let you judge fairly and fully the value of
your layer feeding program. And accurate records kept by successful
poultrymen have proved these profitable facts.
A small Vz% reduction in egg breakage can improve your income
by $36.00 per 1,000 birds housed. Regular feeding of Early Bird #26 all
mash laying feed will definitely produce better shell quality throughout
the laying year.
It's not the start, it's the finish that counts
If your feeding program, gives you 1% belter ben bouse livability
and only Vz dozen more eggs per bird housed, you can realize as. much
as $200.00 extra return per 1,000 hens. Poultrymen who have tried ex
clusive feeding of Early Bird mashes- report that their birds have con
sistently been healthier, better producers.
Your flock’s egg production costs and laying performance depend
upon your feeding plan. Use the economical, highly efficient Early Bird
program to help cut production costs, and boost profits.
