VA Teacher Urges Culling of Flocks
Agriculture teacher R C Mitchell urges poultry producers to cull fall nonlayers and low producers to conserve limited feed. Remove sick or undersized birds and those with deformities, then exclude yellow-legged fat layers. Vigorous birds with red combs are more productive. Seek help to learn safe culling methods. Chief patrol Earl Fallis notes Alpine fire response and losses mitigated by prompt action. Giant lawnmowers for Army airfields will clear 40 acres per hour.
