Same Combine For Wheat Corn, Engineer Predicts
Lincoln, Neb. agri cultural engineer L W Marlbut chairman of the University of Nebraska agricultural engineering department predicts farmers in the next decade will use the same all purpose combine for corn as for wheat. Experiments show the machine shells and cleans corn well, cutting off stalks and ejecting corn cobs to the ground. The university has used the machine on wheat and grass then adapted it to corn in about two hours. Interest in an all purpose combine grew with better grain drying methods though 27 percent moisture is too high for safe cribbing, requiring artificial drying.

Taper Production To Bolster Egg Poultry Prices
Washington reports the poultry and egg sectors are cutting output to lift prices. Laying flocks were culled faster last fall, egg production to rise only modestly for 2 3 months, and consumer egg availability should stay near last year’s level. Broiler prices rose after late 1953 declines, with output reduced since last autumn and turkeys sold at higher prices during holiday demand. Projections show continued reduced turkey and light-breed production through spring, while heavies stay near 1954 levels.
