Possibilities Worth Exploring

down in two broad classified
tons: compulsory and volun-

Under a compulsory cropland
adjustment program. an allo-

quotas would be established and
these quotas would be broken
down into individual farm acre
age allotments. The cropland
taken out of the production of
wheat and feed grains would go
into a compulsory conservation

than three years and perhaps
longer. depending on the market

for the heavy toms, running
from IA pounds and up.
The larger turkey is your best
buy economically, because the
bones are better developed. and
there is less carcass waste than
YOU find in the smaller bird
Good idea is for two smaller
families to buy a large bird, and
have the butcher split the bird
so each half can be cooked in
diyidually.
If you are undecided as to
what size to buy, it is suggested
that for each serving of roasted
whole turkey, you allow "a to
one pound for turkeys weighing
less than II pounds, and for IL
pounds or more, allow IL to
"a pound per serving.
From eight to ten servings. al

key; 10 to 20 servings. allow
eight to IL pounds; 20 to 80 serv-
ings, allow II to Is pounds; and
for 80 to 40 servings, allow l6
to 20 pounds.

pertinent station men, c0mnris-
ing the committee. represent all
areas Of the United States. Pro
fessor P NJ. Reaves. Of VpI'S
department Of dairy science, is
the representative from Virginia.
Reaves said the committee
came up with these predictions.
Beef cattle numbers are ex-
pected to be up four per cent
during 1861 Increa scs Of seven
per cent are anticipated in both
turkeys and broilers. Numbers of
layers may be down four per
cent. However, relatively little
change is expected in production
of dairy cattle and sheep and
lambs.
The calculated feed balance for
the year ahead indicates high
protein feed use to be within one
per cent of estimated supplies.
Grain supplies will exceed de-
mand by more than 50 per cent.
An estimated 600, 600 tons of
feed will be used.
The 1860 fall pic crop is est
mated at 4l.500.O0 head = four
per cent less than the pig crop
of last fall.
Around 54,0o0.o00 pigs viii be

1860.
The average slaughter weight
of all hogs marketed including
sows) is expected to be around
237 pounds in the l960-G1 feeding
year. This is an increase Of one
pound over last years average.
The average number Of LAYERS
for the feed year beginning Oc-
tober l, 1850 will be around
2G5 0000 900. a four per cent de-
crease from the previous year,
and caused by the small number
of replacement pullets raised
during 1860.
Number Of chickens raised for
requirements during 1861 is ex-
pected to increase by 10 per cent
for a total of 1873 900 900.
Commercial broiler production
for 1861 will total 925 900 600
an increase of seven per cent
over 1860.
It is predicted that $4,000 900
turkeys will be raised during
1861 - a seven per cent increase
over 1860. most in heavy rather
than light breeds.
The number of cows to be
MIXED in 1861 is expected to be
19,400, 900. The down-trend in COW
numbers has slowed and slight
upturn may come in 1861. The
increases in COW numbers in fl'id
milk areas tend to be offset by
declining numbers elsewhere.
The number of heifers one to
two years old is expected 10 in
crease about two and one-half per
cent over 1860, and the number
of heifer calves under one year
old is expected to go up about
