ROOSTER Is VICTIM.

Early in June a drive" against
the rooster was launched by the
University of Missouri. The poultry
extension service of this institution
wanted every rooster removed from
the laying f1ocks at that time.
The object OF the campaign was
to prevent the annual bad-egg loss.
Five million dollars worth of eggs
are estimated to have spoiled in
Missouri last year. Most of this
loss comes in the summer time, and
is due largely to fertile eggs being
marketed in hot weather.
Fertile eggs spoil quickly when
kept warm, due to embryo growth,
and make it almost impossible to
keep the fertile egg cool enough to
prevent damage. Ordinary roosters
should be sold or eaten as soon as
the Matching season is ended, to
save feed they would eat during
the summer. Those desired for
next season should be penned up
and kept away from laying hens
throughout the hot weather.
The slogan of the campaign was
Can the rooster" Canning dem
constructors showed how to can the
rooster by the "cold-paCk" method.
Produce dealers will pay premium
during rooster weeks to have the
males Canned" off the farm.
County food administrators were
urged TO give their assistance to
the campaign.
