From Corn Cob to New Wealth for Farmers
The St Joe News Press reports that agriculture officials see corn cobs as a potential wealth source. For years vast cob waste exists in the corn belt while only a few cobs were used for pipes or fuel. Six years of chemist work promises new value including an adhesive paste made from cooked cobs under pressurized super heated water and a lighter aromatic liquor that could replace formaldehyde in many uses.

Management Means More Money for Flock Keeping
Management of the pullet flock during fall and early winter will largely determine if the birds produce more than enough to pay for feed. It will also affect whether they can continue laying without entering a molt.
Feeding pullets for better laying and health
The text advises shifting pullets toward more grain to flesh them and sustain laying, noting grain mash balance boosts health and disease resistance. It gives a ration of 12 to 15 pounds per day per hundred pullets of a mix: 6 parts cracked corn, 2 parts wheat, 1 part heavy oats. If pullets stop laying, a wet mash feed may trigger a return to laying.
