EARLY BIRD FEEDS
and
GOOD MANAGEMENT
Splendid Combination For
The other day we asked J. Harold Esben-
shade, Manheim R. D. #4, how his 6000
bird flock was coming along in the new
house he finished building last January.
Harold checks his birds thoroughly several times
daily.
Our feed conversion to dote is 3.76 and
feed cost per dozen up till now is 14.3 c.
Our egg quality is good. On the eggs
shipped so far 91.8% were grade A and
AA, 4.1% grade B, 3.7% grade C and
.4 blood spots.
All in all we like the Early
and service very much.

Here is what Harold told us.
We housed these birds at 22 weeks of

Our production is good. We had 11.20 per
cent production in January, 58.20 in Feb
ruary, 85.70 in March, 81.08 in April and
81.52 in May.

Doe Licenses
An allotment of 2,800 licen
ses has been assigned to Lanc
aster County for the two day
antlerless deer season, Decem
ber 16 and 17, the Pennsyl
vania Game Commission an
nounced this week.
By a resolution adopted at
its meeting on June 22, the
commission allocated a total
o 4 204,504 licenses for the
state
All licenses will be issued
through county treasurers offi
ces and applications for licen
ses will be available about mid-
August from any licensing ag
ent or from Game Commission
Offices. Licenses will go on sale
in early October.
In announcing the antlerless
deer license allocation for the
19 63 season, M. J. Golden,
Game Commission Executive
Director said, “Every year
more deer are produced in
Pennsylvania than are necess
ary to maintain a stable breed
ing herd. Normally the over
wintering herd adds about 30%
to its size with each fawn crop.
Because seasons restricted ex
clusively to bu'ck hunting take
only aibout 12 percent of the
annual increase, the controlled
removal of a pre-de'termmed
number of antlerless deer is
biologically sound
“As used in the Commis
sion’s deer management pro
gram, this approach to herd
control and harvest has paid
obvious dividends Not only
have the sportsmen o£ Pennsyl
vania continued to enjoy hrgh
yield buck harvests (1559 - 38,
270; 1960 - 38,776; 1961 -
3-8,706; 1962 - 42,266) but
the deer themselves have bene
fited in the form ot increased
reproductive capacity®, reduced
winter mortality, and improved
range conditions.
