The program is designed to assist producers, salesmen and servicemen of poultry products' and equipment solve their problems Professor Robert K. Ringer, Department of Poultry Science at Michigan State University, will discuss Light Stimulation Review, PCB's Feather Release and other selected topics. Michael Rosenstem, Poultry Pathologist, Pennsylvania Bureau of Animal Industry, will speak on the Increase of Disease Problems Staff members of the College of Agriculture will speak on Problems and Opportunities of a “Small Producer”, Controlling Mites, Ventilation Guides, or others, FEOI7 is not a problem. One dealer told us he could choke an elephant with his stack of FEO 17’s, and Congressman Edwin Eshelman’s Lancaster office said they could get all they wanted. A spokesman for the Congressman said that farmers could call that office if they need the forms. Technically, farmers aren’t supposed to fill out the forms unless they’re trying to get more fuel than they used last year. But many dealers are requiring tamers to fill the forms out before they agree to sell any fuel at all And we heard one rumor that the FEO is rejecting all requests for more than a 20 percent increase in supply, which lets ex panded operations pretty much out in the cold Rumors, charges and counter-charges, of course, abound in the present fuel situation. An Elizabethtown farmer told us his dealer has been having trouble supplying him for months “I was in the dealer’s office one day and his district representative for the oil company called. He told my dealer there wasn’t any more gas available until the end of the month, January. My dealer talked to this gentleman for awhile, and it turned out that there was gas available but it was available at 58-cents a gallon ” There have been other reports of gas available at a price usually around 61-cents a gallon This price, we were told by one dealer, reflects the world market price for gasoline. Distributors can buy this high-priced product, mix it with their domestic supplies and pass the cost increases alone to customers 6 Delivery schedules may pose a problem for farmers who have come to rely on almost instantaneous delivery Dealers are starting to deliver in days instead of hours, so the farmer who lets himself run bone dry may find himself unable to do any fieldwork for a few days All dealers we talked to said they would do all they could to supply farmers’ needs, and many added that they were worried about the potential for abuses in a system that depends a great deal on the honesty of individual farmers No dealer would comment on the outlook for fuel nnces' but we did get the feeling they were headed upward. So when you get fuel - and you probably will - lt ’U be expensive Lancaster Farming P.O. Box 266 - Lititz, Pa. 17543 Office: 22 E. Main St., Lititz, Pa. 17543 Record-Express Office Bldg.

Supplies of large and mediums adequate. Cartoned eggs: prices to retailers, state graded (mm. one case sale) white. Fri. Grade A Large 77-83, mostly 77-80; Grade A Medium 69-75, mostly 69-72. Philadelphia Eggs Wednesday, February 20 Prices steady. Cartoning demand fair at best. Stocks of extra large fully adequate to ample; large adequate; mediums ample. Undertone weak on smaller sizes. Prices to retailers: sales to volume buyers, consumer grades white eggs in cartons, delivered: store door. A Extra Large, 75-76*2; A Large A Medium 64- 68*2 Fuel Outlook A farmer told us that he’d stopped using his tank at home to fill his personal car, because he wanted to conserve his supply for plowing and planting. Not all fanners have taken that route, though, and at least one dealer is mad about it. ‘ ‘I delivered 150 gallons to a farm last month, and the other day he called me up and asked for another 150 gallons. I know he wasn’t using it for farming. The guy has three cars in his garage, and that’s where the gas is going ’’ Another dealer told us, “We’ve got to be judge and jury when a fanner comes to us for fuel. We’re supposed to give him everything he needs, and he’s supposed to tell us what he needs. What if he says he needs twice as much as he used last year’ What if he hasn’t bought any more land’ What if he says he’s going to use it all for farming and I know he’s not going to’ Am I supposed to call that man a liar’ ” The dealer’s dilemma is heightened by an apparent shortage of form FEO 17. Dealers who need more fuel for farm customers are instructed to fill out FEO 17 and send it to the Federal Energy Office in Philadelphia. And a farmer who’s turned down by a dealer has been instructed to get an FEO 17 from the local Agricultural Stabilization and Con servation Service office, and give it to his dealer who will in turn forward it to the FEO. The local ASCS office, however, reports that they don’t have any forms The state office is getting some printed, and these should be available within a week. Eastern Pa. &N.J. Wednesday, February 20 Paces steady on light type hens. Demand fair though generally unaggressive. Offerings adequate to barely adequate for a lighter dressed call.
