Agway can now offer feeding programs tailored

It has been well established that meat birds have
different nutrient requirements than layers,
Agway research has gone a step farther has
demonstrated that different strains of the »pme

Eye protection necessary when
handling ammonia fertilizer
NEW YORK, N.Y. - In
soil, anhydrous ammonia
can mean abundant crops,
but, in an eye, this potent
fertilizer can cause painful
injury and even total blind
ness.
To avoid vision
threatening injuries, the
National Society to Prevent
Blindness urges the use of
protective eyewear ( when
handling and applying
anhydrous. “Appropriate
chemical . type safety
goggles, with hooded vents
and a rim fitting closely
around the eye -area, are a
'most; Tot everyone at all
times when wdridng with or
near anhydrous ammonia,”
advised Virginia ,S. Boyce,
NSPB’aexecutive director.
The Society cited accident
data to emphasize that eye
protection 'must be both
available and used to ef
fectively prevent injury.

nutrients your favorite strain needs for optimum
production Such research will help you, as a
commercial producer, bring more eggs to market
at a cost that will provide you a greater return

lie to them,” Mrs.
Boyce stud “And, even
where such protection was
available, it was largely
unused,” she added.
Anhydrous ammonia is
one of the most damaging
substances affecting the eye.
Within seconds of contact, it
begins destroying cells and
tissues. “Should this
dangerous chemical get into
the eyes, the emergency first
aid treatment involves
immediately flushing them
with fresh water for at least
15 minutes,” Mrs. Boyce
advised. Salves or ointments
should never be put in the
eyes; they tend to com
plicate first aid and later
medical treatment.
“As emergency first aid, if
a body of water is nearby,
the person affected should
immerse himself completely
in it - holding his eyelids
open so that the ammonia

can be diluted and washed
away. After thoroughly
flushing the eyes with water,
medical attention from a
physician is the next step to
be taken. The longer the
treatment is delayed, the
greater the chances are for
sight loss,” Mrs. Boyce
cautioned.
No one, no matter how
careful, is immune to injury
when working with
anhydrous ammonia. The

necessary;
Carry a plastic squeeze
