hens on hand April 1. 1930. with April 1. 1940. show* a decrease of slightly more than 10 percent, although egg production actually Increased. Housing capacity haa not been utilized to the fullest during the past few yearn, assuming that new poultry houses have offset the number of poultry bouse* that have been discarded during the recent year* because of obsolescence. In some instances, the laying house has been converted Into a brooder • m whi.h case It Is being utilized quite a* efficiently In the production of broilers or fryers as in the production of eggs and no change or shift in such prsetiem in to be recommended. hivzperienced poultrymen and would-be poultry farmers should be cautioned against over-ezpansioii of their poultry operations because of the secretary's statement. Poultry production Is still no “get-rich-quick" scheme, It Involves ezperience and a knowledge of the production problems of the industry. The need of May hatched chicks for egg production next winter should be reflected to the hatcherymen and breeder* immediately by early orders for such chicks. This is vital In order that the hatcheryman may plan to set sufficient eggs from stock which has been bred for high egg production and especially for early maturity. It I* vital that the chicks which are to be purchased come from a hatchery which han an adequate disease control program. The cockerel* which are raised along with the pullet* that are being grown for next winter'* egg production may be carried longer than usual In order to Increase the amount of poultry meat produced. With the assurance of favorable egg prices this fall and winter, the summer feeding of pullet* should be planned for optimum growth and development. A well balanced growing manh and a good pasture should be available at all time* In order that the pullet* may be rugged and well developed and go Into the laying house in fine physical condition for a heavy production of winter egg*. The Rummer feeding of layer* should be encouraged and dry manh should b kept available

throughout the summer month*. If feeding I* held at an optimum through the *ummer, only the poor producer need be culled. Such hen* may be utilised for meat consumption while the good layers are held for summer and fall egg production. Culling may be less drastic tn the light of good prospective summer egg prices. This call for more poultry and eggs for national defense again emphasizes the necessity of a sound poultry program in which well bred pullets of high livability from healthy supply flocks are essential. The chick* purchased should be produced in sanitary hatcheries from supply flocks of good breeding, especially for early maturity. Bound poultry practices are still in order, particularly the culling of unthrifty birds and poor producers, the production of healthy production-bred stock, the feeding of economical balanced ration*, especially for the growing pulleta and the laying flock through the summer months, adequate housing, efficient equipment, and effective sanitation. The problem confronting the farmer Is that of making adjustments In hl* poultry program in the light of tested practices and the need* for national defense. o In cltle* of 2.500 and up there are 99.1 male* to each 100 female*, according to the <-en*UH. while in rural farm areas there are 112.1 males lo 100 female*. In village* of 2 500 and les* there are 104.2 male* to 100 females.
