Answer; C. F. Parrish, exten

expand their flocks if they do
it safely and sanely, not attempt

can chew.’’ Before new construc

be prassed into service and suit
able outbuildings converted into
poultry houses. Parrish also urg
es greater efficiency from pres
ent flocks through better feeding

Available on the market now are

Suitable stockings for general
