Change Of Feed
Stops Egg Eating

READING THE Montana Farmer
Stockman, again I see someone hav-
ing some trouble with their chickens
eating eggs and the remedy pre-
scribed for stopping them. have
been troubled with this same thing
in the past but not anymore.
1 always thought it was too in
human to cut the beaks off the
chickens. My experience is that
there must be something lacking in
their feed that makes them crave for
something they need and don't get
I ran onto this experience by acct
dent and not because I knew what
I was doing.
About two years ago at one time
of the winter ran out of feed tenn
porarily. went to town and bought
100 pounds of laying mash to keep
the chickens laying until could
haul in some feed. AT this time some
of nay chickens were eating eggs. I
started to feed them this laying mash
and in about three days they quit.
was so surprised and started to
study the situation to find out why
they quit eating eggs.
The only thing I had done was
change the feed, so to make sure,
I took the mash off and fed them
straight grain as I did before. Sure
enough, in few days they started
eating eggs. So I switched them
again TO the mash and again they
quit eating eggs. Since that time ]
have made this test several times
and every time it works the same
I suggest that those having trou
BILE of this kind make this same tes
and see how they come out. I
doesn't cost much; it sure is worth
while to try. Hope you have goo,

least $4,000 pounds or 80 tons
being oats and barley.
2. Use of pasture:
q. 800 pullets or 100 turkeys can
be ranged on / acre of good
pasture.
b. Rotation is necessary to avoid
killing grass roots and risking
contamination Therefore, 3
acres per 800 pullets or 100
turkeys should be allotted for
the season.
G. Kind of pasture: ~ On dry
land row paintings of wheat
or barley as long as succulent,
or well matted succulent sod.
~ In irrigated sections, an If
rigated pasture, preferably
1eguminous.
d. Savings through pasture-Ex-
perimentally we find that mp
to 20 percent saving on feed
costs can be made through
good pasture.
3. Probable poultry numbers for
1850:
a. With continued upward trend
in feed costs and downward
trend in prices of poultry and
poultry products, there may be
tendency to wish to cut pou1-
try numbers.
b. Should farmers grind or have
ground their home grown
grains, they can maintain an
economic feed-egg, or feed
meat ratio.

Foreign ministers of the 12 At lantic Pact nations met in London today to try to work out ways to build up their defenses against possible Communist aggression without scuttling their economies.
 The three-day meeting follows close on the heels of the Big Three meeting of foreign ministers, in which Britain, France and the United States outlined their aims in the cold war with Russia and her satellites.
 With the big three announce ment they would keep their troops in Germany as a defense force more than as an occupation police force, the rest of the Allan tic Pact members were mainly concerned with how much defense they can afford
 Military chiefs of some of the member nations have recommend

Pan Am. Service And Maintenance Workers Strike

NEW YORK, (P)-Seven hun dred flight service workers, sup ported by 5000 maintenance em- playees who refused to cross pick ct lines, struck Saturday against the huge Pan American World Airways.
 A representatives of the airline said that except for delays the company's flight schedules were being maintained throughout the worldwide system.
 CTwo steWardesS pickets ap- peared at the Seattle Tacoma in ternational airport. The early morning flight to Juneau, Alaska, was about an hour late. Company officials expected about the same delay on the later flight to Fair banks. A few mechanics who ar rived before the stewardesses started picketing were on the job and were expected to finish the day shift.
 The strikers, members of the CIO Transport Workers Union, walked off their jobs early Satur- day after last minute mediation negotiations collapsed. Main issue in the dispute is the unions de- mand for higher pay.
 No new meetings of negotiators were scheduled.
 The company said the strike di- rectly involved 700 flight service personnel-stewards, stewardesses and pursers. They placed picket lines around the company's far

5000 Oregon LunDernen Out On Strike

PORTLAND, Ore. CP)- About 5000 CIO lumber workers struck today against the huge Weyer- haeuSen Lumber Company, but the rest of the northwest lumber industry continued operations.
 Weyerhaeuser was the only ma jor lumber operation not to have reached a settlement with the CIO I n ernational WoodWorkers of America when the unions strike deadline arrived this morning.
 The other big employer groups agreed late last week to grant the union demand of a health and welfare program financed by em- ployer contributions of 712 cents per man-hour. Three paid holi- days - a compromise - were also agreed upon.
 Workers struck seven of Weyer- haeuser's operations: at Klamath Falls, in Oregon, and at Long view, Everett, Raymond, Vale, Mcdonald, and Puget Sound boom operation in Washington.
 One Weyerhaeuser operation was not affected. That was at Springfield, where the union was negotiating a contract under a re- cent national labor relations board election victory.
 Weyerhaeuser and the CIO broke off negotiations Saturday after failing to reach a compro- mise between the unions demand for a health and welfare program and the company's offer of a pen sion plan. Weyerhaeuser recently proffered a pension, which was accepted by the rival AFL lumber and sawmill workers, but not by the CTO.
 The question of a union shop was also a stumbling block.
 Tickets were posted at Weyer- haeuser operations this morning.

Three Saved At Niagara Falls In Daring Rescue

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y. (P)- Two men in a helicopter narrow ly escaped death today while res cuing a woman clinging to a rock above the Horseshoe Falls of the Niagara River.
 A second helicopter effected dramatic rescue after the first had pitched it's two occupants into the swift current, both craft were pontoon equipped.
 The first craft was starting to haul the woman into the air by means of a rope when a wave struck a pontoon and caused the tail rotor to smash on a rock. The ship, then unflyable, nosed over.
 A burst of steam from the en- zine as it submerged at first caus- ed bystanders to believe it had ex- ploded.

 The Big Three foreign ministers conference in London today weighed urgent problems of the Middle and Far East in an effort to contain communism.
 The details of planned aid to forces opposing communism were not disclosed. One observer said the United States might extend help to Burma as well as Indo- China.
 The Burma government has been in the throes of civil war for two years, attempting to put down communist and Karen na- tionalist insurgents. The French supported Bao Dai regime Of Indo-China is opposed by the Moscow blessed government of Ho Chi Minh.
 This is the third and last day of the conference, attended by Amerocan secretary of state Dean Acheson, British foreign secretary Ernest BeVin and French foreign minister Robert Schuman.
 They are expected to spend some time on proposals for a Jap anese peace treaty, stalled largely because of Russian obstacles. Conference officials said the min isterS felt "Far East problems are urgent and definite decisions are needed and must be taken quick ly."
 German problems, which took up most of the time yesterday, were shelved temporarily.
 The elder sons of Chiang Kai- Shek said in Taipei, FOrmosa. that Chinese communists have their plans finalized for invading the nationalist held islands of Gnu shan and Quemoy this month. Chiang Ching-Kuo said the deci- sion was reached at an April meeting with a Russian general. The two islands are nationalist blockade bases.

Acreage Quotas
Seen for Beets

SUGAR BEET ACREAGE quotas
for 1851 are practically certainty,
according to Otto jenkins, president
of the Sun River Beet Growers
Assn, in report at the annual
meeting held recently.
This opinion has been echoed by
sugar company officials as well as
other authorities in the state. Farm
ers are being urged to consider their
beet acreages this coming year if
they want to have an acreage history
that will help toward satisfactory
quota in coming years.
Further indications of coming
sugar beet acreage quotas are seen
in the USDA announcement that on
March Is an informal hearing will
be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
An opportunity will be given inter
ested persons to present their views
concerning an appropriate method
for restricting for 1950-51 Puerto
Rico sugar cane crop. There was no
restriction on the 1949-50 crop in
Puerto Rico.
The price situation for sugar beets
should be as good as last year, from
present indications, according to
Roland Cannon, USSI Sugar Co. agri-
cultural supervisor, who also at
tended the Sun River meeting. Cam
non also said they expected an in
crease in the amount of mechanical
harvesting, which amounted to about
IS percent of the acreage last year.
The trend in spring INFLAMMATION
will be toward practices that will re-
duce the hand labor necessary rather
than completely eliminate it. And
the labor situation looks good, he
continued, with the probability of
getting Mexican laborers from Cali
fornia.

cent of the 1944-48 average and
prices are particularly high COM
pared with the average of recent
years. Price changes are likely to be
small during the spring planting sea-
son.
DAIRY PRODUCTS-Prices for
milk for fluid use probably will de-
cline in the next three months, due
to the spring increase in production
with little change in consumption.
Prices for manufacturing milk and
cream are nearly down to the sup
port level and probably will be rela-
lively stable through the rest of the
year.
EGGS-Prices probably will be
steady to strong in the next month
or two and are likely to rise from
spring to fall about as much as in
the last two or three years. Farm
prices thus far have been below the
intended support level for 1850.
Farmers plans to purchase II per-
cent fewer chicks in 1850, if car
ried out, are likely to mean s to
percent fewer layers by the end of
the year and lower egg production
than late in 1949.
POTATOES - Markets probably
will be steady to weak during the
rest of the season, unless too many
are dumped in the price support OPP
erations or the early new crop is
seriously damaged.
