Children See Eggs Hatching On TV
“Making 7 million children
across the country a little more
egg conscious is easy with an
assist from the ROMPER BOOM
television programs,” reports Dr.
L A Wilhelm, PENB President.
“With more than 50 individual
ROMPER ROOM teachers broad
casting locally to every part of
the country, they are able to
capture the attention of these
youngsters on a very ‘personal’
basis... and the kids love it'”
Recently, the ROMPER
ROOMS presented the story of
egg hatching by using either
film in areas where fertile eggs
could not be supplied, or an ac
tual live demonstration which
was successfully conducted in
most areas with the help of
PENB and USDA contacts This
was just a start Nancy Claster
of Burt Claster Productions,
producers of ROMPER ROOM,

been asked to continue its co
operation for next year In ad

more attention on the ROMPER
ROOM next Spring when a
“teach-it” entitled “All About
Eggs” will be broadcast “All
About Eggs” is a color slide pre
sentation created by PENB and
designed to acquaint children
with fundamental information
about eggs, their origin, anat
omy, nourishment, and flavor
values. Its purpose is to stimu

Tomato Tips
stood vegetable which often
suffers from improper storage
and care, says Robert F Fletch
er, extension vegetable crops
specialist at The Pennsylvania
State University When a toma
to is picked in a mature pink
colored stage it must not be
chilled until fully ripened
Chilling interrupts the ripening
process and the tomato may
never ripen properly
Choose tomatoes that are
well-formed, firm plump, free
from bruises and showing some
pink or red color

BEACON EMb
with higher amino acid levels for hybrid layers
mmzmf:- -v*- »- ■ .mm
Three factors are critical in determining the
profitability of a flock of layers: body condition;
total production: egg size. Beacon Hy-Pro Mate is
a new 18% protein ration formulated to help hy
brid birds reach their full Inherited potential In each
of these categories.
The level of critical amino acids in Beacon Hy-
Pro Mate Has been increased considerably over that
of conventional laying diets. This sustains continued
body growth and development as birds come into
lay. It promotes early p-oduction of large eggs.
And, the extra amino acids help birds reach full
production potential through the entire laying cycle.
Call us today for full details on Beacon Hy-Pro
Mate for high production, large eggs, top body
condition and top profits.
