FARM BUREAU NEWS
Swat The Rooster Early Campaign
Being Launched

| w. B. Barney, State Dairy and
Food Commissioner, is again launch
ing his campaign against the Iowa
rooster.
Permitting ROSTERS to remain with
the focks does not help egg pro-
duction and is in large measure
responsible for Iowa's S5,0O0,000 bad
egg loss each year.
Eggs remain fertile from two to
three weeks after the rooster is re-
moved.
The rooster is the cause of blood
rings.
Twelve hours of hot July or Au-
gust weather will spoil fertile egg.
Infertile eggs reach the market in
good condition and are worth more
money.
The greater percentage of spoiled
eggs that are received by the pack
ers and commission houses, the lower
the price of eggs will be.
Protest your own interests by
swatting the rooster early, not later
than June first.
Higher Prices For Butter Fat
This heading sounds strange in
view of the fact that butter fat has
been on a steady decline during the
past month and is already consider
ably below the cost of production.
One cause of this decline in the
price of butter fat is due to the fact
that a large percent of the cream
delivered to the local creameries
throughout the state arrives in very
poor condition. This can be over
come to great extent by a little
extra effort and care on the part of
the producer. Cream should be cool
ed down Immediately after it has
been separated. Never mix warm
cream with cream that is twelve
hours old or older. Cream should
be stirred thoroughly every twelve
hours, especially when more cream
is added. This stirring will make
the cream smooth and will have a
tendency to keep it in better shape
before it is marketed.
