Poultry Disposal Pits" New
Leaflet for Farmers


A new leaflet, Poultry Disposal
Pits" is now available from the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service, or your county agent, an
nounced ]. Frank Gordy, extension
poultryman, today.
Silas McHenry, assistant extern
sion poultryman, is the author.
Building instructions and diagrams
were supplied by William A. Cal
vert, extension agricultural engin-
eer.
McHenry recommends burying
or burning dead birds Immediately
as part of good disease preven-
tion program. Disposal pits save
labor and time, have no noticeable
odor if correctly covered, can be
used all-year-round, are not fire
hazards, and make it impossible
for dogs or rats to dig up the dead
birds and further spread disease.
The leaflet gives information on
building the pits, using them cor
rectly, common questions and ans
wers on disposal pits, plus instruc-
tions on homemade incinerators
for those poultrymen who prefer
to burn dead birds. Incinerators

Higher prices are likely for meat
animals, including chickens and
turkeys. Dairy products, most

higher also. Lower prices than the
average for 1850 may be expected
for eggs and potatoes.

There will be food enough for
