They speculate that narrow red and narrow green, in combination, could speed the development of pullets This might start them laying sooner and speed the production of large eggs.

The Soviet Union, which bought only $l5O million worth of American farm products last fiscal year, vaults to the number two position as a customer of the U.S. agriculture with its pur chases this year. Russia is second only to Japan, the long-time one country leader which has projected farm purchases this fiscal year of $1.5 billion. “We expect the USSR to remain a major importer of gram for possible the next 3 to 5 years,” the Secretary said The Secretary said the projected farm exports “will give the United States a $3.5 billion balance of trade surplus in the agricultural area,” for this fiscal year “This increase should reduce the nation’s overall trade deficit below last year’s $5.1 billion mark, despite an expected in crease in the non-farm deficit this year,” the Cabinet officer said (agway) Refreshments James High & Sons Ph 3540301 Gordonville Wenger's Feed Mill Inc.
