Ewe Feeding Experiment Found Not Beneficial
In Stillwater Oklahoma on June 20, H M Briggs reports eight year trials show limited value in flushing ewes before and during breeding. Nutrition with grain and green cowpeas did not improve lambing or early crop, though slight benefits may arise from targeted rationing. The study began in 1930, following 80 grade Rambouillet, 59 native, and 20 Hampshire ewes observed before breeding season. Fertility dipped in hot weather and rose with cooler fall conditions. Briggs notes potential for value if ration adjustments are applied economically.

Fag Quality On Way In Fo Market
Egg quality degrades during transport says CA Roberts of the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College staff. Jarring weakens contents and can cause the yolk to float near the shell. A broken air cell and ruptured membranes render eggs inedible and inferior. Proper packing with absorbent material cushions shocks during transit to preserve market value.
