Plan To Meet 1943
Turkey Production
tcOntinusd from First Page,

Old barrels and empty packing
cases will make good nests and will
make finding eggs easier. One nest
at least IA by "a inches should be
provided for every to 5 hens.
Collect eggs daily and store in
an egg case equipped with duck
flats. If the proper temperature is
maintained mot over 60 nor un-
der 40' FL eggs can be safely saw
ed three weeks before setting.
Breeding flocks properly man
aged produce eggs over a longer
period than the grower needs them
for his own use. Help meet Della
wares quota by selling surplus
eggs and poults to your neighbor.

nounced.
In SIS games last year total of
1,079, 148 pushed through the turn

6.679 less than 1912 when the sched-
