While exports are expected to
be large in 1961-62, the carry over
next July will probably be about
one and one-half times larger than

the advantages of taking part in

farmers thereby earn payments
for diverting wheat acreage into

Stop CunnibuIism
In PuIlet Flock

Pullet flocks frequently start to
pick each other when first con-
fined to the laying quarters, says
Kent County Agent George Vapaa.
He explains that a change of quar-
ters, plus total confinement, makes
pullets restless. They may start
picking just to have something to
do. Eggs laid on the floor may
also be picked by the birds.
Mr.. Vapaa suggests fr e q u e n
trips through the pens when pull
lets are first housed. Feeding small
amounts of feed at frequent inter-
walls will keep the birds busy and
help avoid picking. Disturbing
birds that show indications of
wanting to lay on the floor may
help.
If cannibalism gets started,
darkening the nests, removing or
extending the nest perches farther
from the front of the nests may
help. In some cases, it is necessary
to debeak the birds or use anti
pick devices.
