Study Points Up
Most Favorable Time
To Start Broilers

The most favorable time to start
broilers from the standpoint of the
farm price-cash cost ration is from
the second week of March through
he third week of July and from
the last week OF December until
the first of February
This is the conclusion reached by
John T. Buck. agricultural econo-
mist at VP1. after studies over q
five-year period in the Shenandoah
Valley area. The work shows the
least favorable period to start birds
is from the second week Of August
through the second week in De-
cember.
Records covering 4.760 flocks and
more than 1875 million birds were
obtained from IL cooperating feed
dealers and used in DR.. Buck s
analysis.
The highest prices received for
broilers typically occur during
March, July, and August, with low
est prices coming during the last
quarter of the year
Total cash production cost Of
broilers started from the fourth week
in March through the second week
in August is from one to eight per
cent below the average for the year.
Flocks started from the second week
in October through December have
a cash cost of from six to ten
per cent above average.
Information on the typical sea
sonal patterns OF marketings, prices
and production costs and rela-
tionships among these items should
help the broiler industry adjust then
turns. Buck believes.

Spray Mixture Effects
Studied By Scientists

Some chemicals get along well
together. Others, like people, do
not.
Scientists at VPI Agricultural
Experiment Station explain that the
effectiveness of the insect and dis
ease control program in the apple
orchard is determined largely by
the biological physical, and chemi-
cal conpata bilities of the spray
mixtures.
While the introduction Of new in
secticides and fungicides which are

crop, the spray program has be-
