Feeding Pullets on Range: Restricted vs Full Feeding
North Carolina State College researchers at Waynesville tested restricted versus full feeding for pullets on alfalfa range over two years. Results show similar total feed use and final performance, with restricted feeding slightly delaying maturity and requiring more labor and space but offering small per-pullet savings dependent on mash and grain costs. Eggs and body weight matched, hens' livability similar, range exposure broader for restricted birds.

Policy Set For Declining Mart In Cotton Export Sale
The Commodity Credit Corporation will offer up to one million bales of lower quality short staple cotton for export after January 1, 1956. H D Godfrey says the firm policy aims to support the declining cotton market and notes a recent $10 per bale drop in price. Purchases must meet 15- to 15- inch staple length and be sold by open bid with export responsibility on the buyer. Farmers are urged to have cotton graded and may seek CCC loans if prices do not meet the loan rate. About three-fourths of U S cotton use is cotton.
