The installation of “wall to wail" cages with an electrically powered tramway to carry men and equipment over the cage system puts you “on top" of management prob lems. UL-TRAM-MATIC gives you better CONTROL of feeding, watering, egg collec tion, ventilation, lighting, manure han dling and flock supervision ... all with increased bird capacity of up to 25 per cent per building. It all adds up to pre dictable performance, predictable profits. More and more professional managers are riding the tram. BIG DUTCHMAN A Division of U.S Industries, Inc.

PARADISE SUPPLY - Paradise which have large amounts of lodged barley this year, Yocuoir said there is probably more lodging than usual but barley is traditionally a crop with a high amount of lodging. Work currently is underway to find varieties that are stronger and won’t lodge. If the barley goes down early it. will probably damage the stalk and reduce yield If it goes down later, the mam loss will be in harvesting, Yocum said. He attributed the large amount of lodging this year to the wet and cloudy weather that made the barley taller and more sus ceptible to lodging during jhail t min and wind 27.5 Acres Per Family If agricultural land were di vided evenly among U S. fami lies, each family would get 27.3 acres on which it could expect to earn a net annual income of $316.
