buds, o) vaccines impioperly
adnnmsieied do not confer the
desned immunity, rather they
solve only as an added sticss lo
the buds To add fuither insult,
the giower goes away with a
false sense of secuiity, thinking
that his pullets are immune to
these diseases when in reality
they are not Instead, they mav
be even moie susceptible than
bcfoie the vaccine was admin
isteiod.
Theie aie four general fac
tois that have direct influence
on the outcome of the pullet. If
we weie to enumerate these
factois they would be:
A Hei editary and congenital
vigoi Chicks that are fiom
bieedeis that are disease-free
and are resistant to leucosis
have a decided advantage over
chicks of unknown history.
B Nutiition Here we are
concerned with the nutritional
quality of the feed from day
one thiough the growing of the
pullet. Marginal nutritional de
ficiencies are expressed in dif
ferent ways and may vary from
a lowered thriftiness or rests
tance to obvious deformities
such as perosis, curled toe pa
ralysis, encephalomalacia, rick
ets, etc
C Environment This is the
husbandly or management care
of the pullets This is the area
of action wheie the giower has
complete control and responsi

Gi ound that is to be seeded to a
legume next Spung or Summer,
and needs lime, should get that
application this Fall while the
giound is being worked The
spieading of the lime on top of
the giam this Winter or early
Spung is not the best way to get
the most value fiom the lime
Lime needs fiom foui (4) to six
(C) months time to sweeten the
soil and will not be able to cor
lect acidity in a few weeks time
A complete soil test will give the
amount of lime needed and this
should be incorporated into the
soil this Fall A balance between
the lime, phosporus, and potash
is needed for best yields on all
soils
Corn Crop
