Visitors may participate in a question and answer program which has been arranged by agricultural economists. At a third stop, live sheep will show the contrast in a good and poor ram. Two pens of four lambs each will be shown. A highlight of tho entire show will be the use of a Geiger counter by bio-chemists to determine radioactive tracers in chickens. The agricultural chemist will be at work at a special laboratory to show how they arrive at scientific conclusions. A rural health exhibit will be seen as will the farm safety exhibit, ‘’Harvest of Hands”. Photographs will show Hoosier farmers who have lost fingers or hands as a result of corn picker accidents. Three phases of pond construction, ground prior to construction, construction work, and the waterfilled pond will be viewed. Agricultural engineers have also constructed a half-scale horizontal pole-type silo. Displays on outdoor runways for

Almost buried under all the talk about lower current farm prices is the fact that feeding profits in general are significantly better today than they were a year ago. While prices the farmer gets for his livestock and poultry products may be somewhat down, his cost of feed has dropped even more, creating favorable ratios in most lines of feeding. One year ago, a dozen eggs returned an average 6.2 ,cents over feed costs, based on U. S. Department of Agriculture figures. Today, egg profits over feed costs are estimated at 10.2 cents per dozen. A year ago, broilers returned 8.6 cents per pound over feed costs, compared with tty estimated 11 cents today. The milk-feed ratio this time last year was 1.16, compared to 1.26 today, ‘which means that a hundred pounds of milk on today’s market will buy ten pounds more dairy feed than it would a year ago. The butter-fat-feed ratio this time last year was 18.9. compared to 20.6 today. Hog returns per cwt. over feed costs today are estimated at a pretty normal J 4.80. While this is below last year’s nearrecord |9.52, it still holds the promise of dependable profits from • efficient hog feeding op, e rations. These figures should offer confidence and enthusiasm to livestock and poultry feeders. Those feeders who buy their rations are faced with unusually good profit prospects. Furthermore, many crop farmers see in these facts a most able way to "walk their grains to market” through livestock and poultry. The 1955 harvest of home grains, properly fortified with balanced commercial supplements and fed to cattle, hogs or poultry can be an uri-'' usual profit maker for farmers this year.
