Reflections on Poultry Policy and Local 4H Beef Debates

It also covers a Buy-Your-Own-Steer plan debate at Rohrerstown Elementary School with six speakers on both sides. NEPPCO backs reduced feed freight rates after a New York Central plan withdrawal.

Five Years Ago May 1962 Grows Grass Indoors
A dairy farmer near Martinville Charles H Hess grows grass indoors from oats in seven days using an air conditioned incubator. He feeds the grass to cows once daily at 15 pounds per head and considers the machine's cost slightly higher than an upright silo. He plans a three month trial to judge practicality and estimates production cost at 8 to 10 dollars per ton.
