# A_U NEWS 4-H’ers Hold Project Roundup Several dozen 4-H Club mem tens assembled at Lampeter Community Grounds last Satur day morning to exhibit their entomology, photography, han dyman, and rabbit projects. Ribbons were awarded accord ing to the Danish system. The best of show ribbon in the handyman division went to Timothy Hera’ of Lancaster R 6 for his file cabinet entry. The only other blue ribbon wanner was Dale Shenfc, Lititz R 3. Don r i Kauffman, Conestoga 82, topped a field of 12 blue ribbon winners in the rabbit The Cost Lowering Factors In Agway’s Egg - Lift Program Higher Peak Production ■ As pullets, come, into production, they have a double job'to do. First, they must meet the re quirements for continued body growth; - and secondly, they must meet the increased demands for peaking out. The nutrient levels built into Egg-Lift permits the birds to reach higher peak production than when they are cheated on any of these essential items. Young pullets need ap proximately one gram of protein per one hundred grams of body weight per day during this critical period. The 18% level in Agway’s Egg-Lift per mits birds to get the protein they need. Greater Total Production ' Whenever birds are -unable to take in enough protein or other nutrients for continued body -growth during the peak-out period, they will drop in production shortly after reaching peak in order to finish their body growth. During- this produc tion , slump, they put on the weight that they ■should have gained while they were still climbing in production. Agway’s Egg-Lift is designed to reduce, the possibilities of this slump occurring and, thereby, increasing total production for the year. 1 Lower Feed Cost Per Dozen The pounds of feed required to produce a dozen eggs is directly associated with level of produc tion. Maintaining a high peak of lay tends to re duce the amount of feed needed for each dozen eggs; and, therefore, reduces total feed cost.

Less Mortality • 'Since the-nutrients built into Agw&y’s Egg-Lift help the bird meet the stresses of continued grow th and high egg production, they tend to reduce the chances of mortality during this high stress period. Improved Body Condition For pullets to lay at a high rate throughout much of their productive life, it is essential that they be kept on the lean side; that is, there should not be a build up of heavy deposits of fat. Agway’s Egg-Lift is designed to carry the birds through their first twenty weeks of lay in a lean condi tion. They will have plenty of muscle but will be free of troublesome fat. Better Egg Shell Quality The right calcium level combined with Agway Feed Additive Extras (FAX) that have been built into Agway’s Egg-Lift insure top egg shell quality during this critical period in the pullet’s life. Increased Egg Size at Start of Lay Agway’s Egg-Lift has been designed to permit pullets to increase their egg size more rapidly up to their genetic potential. This means during the early weeks of lay, that they will produce more medium eggs than they will on conventional ra tions and there will be fewer peewees and pullets. This faster increase in egg size occurs over the first six to eight weeks of production. Beyond this, it appears there is little that can be done to further increase egg size. WAY INC.
