With wheat so high, poultrymen will be interested to learn that on the Unit- ed States department of .agriculture experiment, farm excellent egg laying results were secured with a wheatless ration. Thirty ‘Leghorn pullets to which this ration bas.peen fed for one | i and one-half years produced an aver- | nge of 147.3 eggs per hep for the pullet year. This compares ‘favorably with egg ylelds ‘secured on other rations = containing wheat and therefore more A Sixtus V. Salad. expensive.
