EGGS PER TON
with new Ful-Q-Pep "500” Egg Feeds
Modern computers have determined that the most profitable egg feed
in terms of lowest feed cost per dozen is one which produces a dozen
eggs on 4 lbs. of feed—equivalent to 500 dozen eggs per ton.
New Ful-O-Pep “500” Egg Feeds, for floor or cage, are designed to
give you 500 dozen eggs per ton on a year-around basis, under good
environmental conditions. If you are a good manager, Ful-O-Pep 500
is made for you.
What would 500 dozen eggs per ton do for your profit column?

Part of the project involves
mating horses which have the
disease to determine if their
foals will be normal.
U. of P. scientists, in another
project, believe farm cats arc
possible carriers of tuberculo
sis. They reached this conclu
sion when autopies of cats, tak
en from farms where cattle had
been destroyed because of tu
berculosis, showed the felines
had the disease.
The scientists also have ex
pressed concern that cats and
dogs owned by people who have
contracted tuberculosis may in
fect children who fondle the
animals.
Because oaks comprise 40 per
cent of the total sawtimber
volume in the state, the Depart
ment became concerned when
oak wilt, a disease which plays
havoc with red and white oaks,
was discovered m Pennsylvania.
Research, which the Depart
ment is supporting, indicates
the ambrosia beetle may be
transporting a fungus which
causes the wilt. Once we have
definitely pinpointed the car
rier, we can take the necessary
steps to control it.
The Department is always in

Care Prevents
Farm Accidents
Long hours spent on farm ma
chinery during the summer
months greatly increase the pos
sibility of disabling accidents,
according to Thomas H. Wil
liams, extension agricultural
engineer at the University of
Delaware.
Most accidents are the result
of small mistakes, says Willi
ams. Small mistakes that turn
to tragedy. These include a lit
tle too much speed: a slight er
ror in judgment: a lost or brok
en shield; an improperly ad
justed hitch.
When operating machinery in
the field, watch for open ditch
banks and hidden rocks and
stumps, he advises And avoid
climbing steep banks. Always
hitch loads to the drawbar, nev
er to the tractor axle. Know
what to expect from your equip
ment. A tractor pulling a heavy
load may handle quite different
ly than the same tractor with
out a load.
About one-third of all fatal
ti actor accidents occur on high
ways. If you operate a tractor
on the highway, keep as far
right as safety permits. Use
warning flags that are clearly
visible during daylight hours
and be sure that machinery is
properly lit after dusk
For added safety, use slow
moving vehicle emblems to warn
traffic that you are operating a

sure to give proper signals and
obey nil traffic laws.
Never operate machinery when
you are extremely tired, wor
ried or in a hurry, he adds This
i<s when most accidents occur.
Keep children away from farm
machinery, and never allow ex
tra riders.
If you are working alone, ar
range for someone to check with
you frequently. Many farm ac
cidents happen in back fields
where a lone operator may be
pinned in or under a machine
for hours before he is found.
Many of these accidents would
be less serious if help were
available immediately following
the accident.
Peach Growers
