Poul- trymen from all parts of the coun try are joining in the hunt for a breeding formula which will add at least 10 per cent more meat to the present-day chicken. A higher per centage of meat on the bone structure and even meatier wings are sought, thus assuring “Junior” that no longer will only a skimpy ap pendage be left as his lot when the dinner platter arrives at his lowly place.

Ivory, Wyoming agricultural exten sion service poultry specialist. A roosfcr, Ivory points out, eats about $5 worth of feed a year at current prices. All you get in return, he in sists, is a lot of crowing—accom panied by NO eggs! A rooster is worthless in a poultry flock unless he is being used for breeding purposes in supplying fer tile eggs for hatcheries or home in cubation. Hens won’t lay any more eggs than they are laying just because a roost er is on the premises, so why not sell that "crowing so-and-so”? Trade him for a $1.93 alarm clock that tells the time Of day for the entire 24 hours and you’ll save about $3 in feed costs on the swap! Quality Chicks Needed To OfUet Feed Costs One method through which poul- trymen can combat the present high cost of feed is to purchase good quality chicks. Feed costs, records compiled by the extension service indicate, now amount to 60 per cent or more of the total costs of producing eggs and chicken meat in contrast to 50 per cent in normal times.
