Turkey Prices
Below Last Year

Turkey prices during the last
three months have averaged )
cents per pound below the price
for the same period last year.
Turkeys sold for 1873 cents per
pound in mid-October in 1858 and
were only 27.1 cents per pound
this October.
Most of the reduction in price
has been due to the go increase
an turkey production, according to
DIR. William E. Mcdaniel, associ-
ate professor of agricultural eco
nomics at the University of Della
ware.
Heavy-breed turkey raisers are
absorbing the bulk of the reduc-
tion in price as the heavy-breeds
have been 9 to 10 cents per
pound below last years price.
Light-breed turkey prices have
been 5 to 6 cents per pound un-
der the 1858 prices.
Mcdaniel says economists have
advised growers that unless turk
ey production is reduced, prices
will not be favorable to farmers
in 1855.

Castle and Kent Counties, you
may have chance soon to help
with some research to determine
the most profitable forage pro-
grams under various farm condi-
tions.
Here's how it will work. Agri-
cultural economists, William Nc
Daniel and William West, Uni
versity of Delaware, plan to visit
125 dairy farmers in Kent and
New Castle counties during De-
cember and January. They will
obtain information on pasture and
hay production and use.
Using the information collected
from dairy farmers and results of
controlled experiments, the Uni
versity hopes to determine the
most profitable forage programs
under various farm conditions.
Through cooperative efforts of
farmers and the experiment sta
tion, suggestions can be made to
reduce the cost of dairy produc-
ton.

er by about four percent than last
year. This means that feed sup
plies per animal unit will be
about the same as last year.
Hogs are heavy users of feed
and it is estimated that the fall
pig crop will increase by eleven
percent while the 1855 spring
crop will be four percent above
that of 1854. Small increases in
the number of dairy cows and
commercial broilers is expected
next year. However, there will
probably be fewer chicks ordered
this spring as requirements to the
egg laying flock because of the
relatively poor prices for eggs
farmers are receiving now.

The recent death of DIR. Eliezer
Rieger, Professor of Education at
the Hebrew University of Jeru-
salem and Director General of
Israers Ministry of Education, is
"a serious loss to the world of
education" it was declared in a
statement by DR.. George S. Wise,
National President of the Ameri-
can Friends of the Hebrew Uni
versity.
DR.. Rieger, who had served as
principal of the University's

Hakerem, led in efforts to unity
IsraePs divergent educational sys-
TENS. He had introduced some of
the country's most advanced edu-

instrumental in Transforming the

cation into a full School, which
has exercised an increasing de-
gree of influence in the standard
ization of methods in Israel's Sec
