Feed Conservation First
Consideration in Poultry
Industry During Wartime
Br BOB M'CAMBRIDGE
Assistant County Agent
Feed conservation is the num
ber one problem In the poultry
industry today. The picture is
changing from how much poul
try can we produce, to 'how
much poultry can we feed. The
war food administration has re
cently advised poultry produc
ers not to make further expan
sion in commercial broiler pro
duction which is due entirely
to the feed situation. The feed
dealers in Oregon have practi
cally all adopted the voluntary
protein rationing program - rec
ommended by the U. S. depart
ment of. agriculture in coopera
tion with the National Feed In
dustry council. Under this pro
gram the feed industry will
hold the protein content of
mixed feeds to certain maxi
mum amounts and the animal
protein in each ration will be
reduced to the minimum. The
poultry ration recommended by
the Oregon State college has
been revised to comply with
the rationing program and the
experimental results indicate
that these rations will produce
satisfactory results. Due to the
present feed situation some
poultrymen are wondering if it
would be economical to reduce
the feed intake to laying hens
to conserve feed. This method
is not recommended as a means
of feed conservation because
experimental results demon
strate clearly that such practice
does not pay. When feed con
sumption was reduced by 124
per cent in one pen of laying
hens there was a decrease of
82 per cent in egg production
and an increase of 27 per cent
' in the amount of feed re
quired to produce a dozen
eggs as compared with a check
pen on full feed. When the feed
intake was reduced 23 per cent
en another pen, there was a de
crease of 82 pet cent in egg pro
- duction and an increase of 84
per cent in the number of
I- M M I MMM.MU M
Veach dozen eggs layed, com
pared with the check pen.
Here are a few suggestions
which are practical and will as
sist in the conservation of feed:
1. Inspect-the flock daily -to
eliminate the culls and low pro
ducing hens. In addition to this
spot culling, the entire flock

Soy Bean Meal
Now Under Experimentation
WASHINGTON, July 1 W
New sources of protein live
stock feeds are being explored.
Senator McNary (R-Ore.) said,
to supplement the rapidly di
minishing supply of soy bean
meal.
He had been informed by the
agricultural adjustment agency,
the senator said, that whale
meal will be available for some
inter-mountain states but it is
doubtful if the supply can be
distributed as far west as Ore
gon. A substantial quantity of
liver meal and cottonseed meal
has been obtained from Latin
America and New Zealand and
some may be allocated to west
ern states, he said.
The AAA, also, he was in
formed, is seeking a modifica
tion of shipping regulations in
should be culled once in June
and again in August
2. Prevent feed wastage by
having ; properly constructed
feed hoppers, avoid filling hop
pers too full, provide feed bins,
and rid poultry plant of ro
dents. Large quantities of feed
are lost or wasted around the
average poultry plant.
3. Avoid overcrowding. It in
vites diseases, lowers vitality,
encourages cannibalism, and
prevents maximum efficiency
of feeds.
4. Feed an adequate supply
of young, succulent green feed.
It is a good source of proteins,
minerals and especially vita
mins 8. Keep clean, fresh water be
fore the flock at all times.
There is a close correlation be
tween annual egg production
and the amount of water con
sumed. Water is the cheapest
and most abundant feed source.
6. Provide an adequate sup
ply of a well balanced ration at
all times. It is not economical
te try and conserve feed by
feeding skimpy rations.
For further information on
feeding and culling poultry,
growers may call at the county
agent's office for bulletins cov
ering these subjects.

He also learned that soybeans
will be planted on corn lands
inundated by the recent floods
in the midwest and that addi
tional supplies of soybean meal
may come to market when this
planting is completed.
Only about 10,000,000 tons of
high protein feeds, the agency
says, have been available for
distribution this year, an
amount which represents only
about three per cent of all
feeds, exclusive of pasture. Be
cause the poultrymen apparent
ly were having the greatest dif
ficulty obtaining supplies, the
AAA said this industry had
been favored in distribution of
the limited amount at its dis
posal.
GCG WHEAT SALES
HALTED, SAYS AAA
CORVALLIS, July 1 (P)
Sales of wheat stored in com
modity credit corporation port
able bins were halted today, ac
cording to the state AAA office,
as was a program under which
producers could redeem farm-
stored wheat at fed prices for
use in feeding livestock.
Farmers may still buy CCC
wheat shipped into a county for
feed, however, and county AAA
committees will continue to sell
wheat from lots in storage ear
marked for feed purposes. A
price of one cent a bushel high
er than the June price will be
in effect pending announcement
of a July price schedule.
Officials here saw in the
change an indication of the ra
pidity with which grain reserves
are being used by the increased
livestock and poultry numbers.

State Ag Man
Favors Increased
Wages to Farm Help
PORTLAND, July 1 m
State Agriculture Director E. L.
Peterson says farm wages
should be brought up to parity
with pay in other war indus
tries. He told the Multnomah Coun
ty Republican club yesterday
that the armed .forces and lend
lease would take from 14 to 28
per cent of the nation's food
production this year compared
to 8 per cent in 1942.
'There is nothing I can see
but confusion in food control
as it is in operation in this
country at the present time,"
he said.

mered to his knees by bombing,
but he will recover unless the
knockout blow is delivered by
