MORE ROOM PRODUCES
BETTER BROILERS
Figures On 6OO,OOO Sold Prove
Above Statement

Figures on 100000 brOllers that
were sold between June l and De-
cember 81, show that growers who
started 3 chicks per square foot OF
floor space realized an average profit
per 1000 birds OF less than One-third
as much as the growers who allowed
q square foot per bird. These fig
ures show that the cost of prOduc-
ton per pound is not only decreased,
but the quality Of the br0iler is Inn
proved.
No other management factor in-
cluded in the summary shows the
need of Immediate attention more
than the crowded conditions under
which a large percentage OF the
bIOilers are being grown at the
present time. Undoubtedly this con-
dltlOn has been partly responsible
for the fact that some growers are
using 3.2 s. OF feed to produce a 10.
Of broiler while others are using
more than 5 lbs.
Many growers have had trouble
during the past winter with wet
houses Efforts are being made to
correct this condition by changing
the window arrangement Of the
house. Few growers have been able
to properly ven'ilate these houses in
cold weather with as many as three
birds per square foot" states As
sistant County Agent B. v. Carmean.
Give them elbow room, much of
the moisture will disappear. fewer
small chicks will be produced, and in
general the birds should make more
efficient use OF their feed" contin-
