The high cost of living applies to
poultry, too. Based on current fig
ures, the feed bill for last years
! $1O0,000,O00 crop of Delmarva broil-
ers was $67,207, APO The average
for the week ending May 19 was
$95.06 a ton for feed.
Delaware and the Eastern Shore
of Maryland and Virginia grew
about 10000 broilers last year
Poultrymen figure about 13 to is
pounds of feed for each bird. That
makes a total feed consumption
of something like 7O7,OO tons.
The figure, of course, must be
trimmed down some because of
mortality before the bird reaches
market size. A poultryman with
10000 birds will use about IS tons.
The figures are from the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics.
