De partment of Agriculture's- plentiful j foods list for Southern markets, says Miss Una Brashers, home demons! ra tion agent for the State College Ex tension Service. Producers are culling inefficient hens from laying flocks and sending [ many heavy birds to market," in ad j dition to already plentiful supplies j of broilers and fryers. The 1949 pro duction of broilers and fryers is the greatest in history. Commercial fish landings are us ually heavy in July, and markets should offer buyers a choice of ei ther fresh or frozen fish. Cottoge cheese is a newcomer to the plentiful list, fh$ home agent said. The fat content of cottage iheese is low, which makes it low in calories in relation to other, nu trients and, therefore, well suited For people looking for a nourishing rood ttoat is not fattening. Dried beans and peas, peanut but ter. and eggs also are reported plen tiful, whiJI the vegetable trio for the month will be cabage, canned corn, and Irish potatoes.' iVfore sweet corn was packed in 1948 than in any previous year.

Mr. Jenkins explained that the^ peak of* the egg production season is now past, and that broody hens j will consume as much feed as pro ducing hens. Moreover, he added, 1 early mou Iters are notoriously poor j egg producers, since they take long er to moult than those thta start late, and are non-producers for long er "7t*riods than late summer and early fall moulters. Meanwhile, Jn Atlanta, Harry | Wise, poultry marketing specialist of the Production and Marketing Ad. ! ministration's Poultry Branch, gave strong backing to the local county a gent's advice. ' "It's just plain goofl business,"; Wise declared, "to stop keeping the hens thta aren't keeping pou. The markets are short on good fat hens, and prices are good. All two-year old hens should be culled and their pla ces in the farm flocks given to young birds. It's an accepted fact that pul- 1 lets are more profitable layers than , hens. Now thta hot weather is here, extra care should be taken to insure j that eggs are gathered frequently, properly . ?tored, and marketed under the best possible conditions. Better eggs will mean better prices." Of the two-year-old hens. County j Agent Jenkins said "such birds are probably producing so few eggs now ; that the weatheT has turned hot that j they are not paying their feed bill." | He advised flock owners to look for 1 birds whose beaks and shanks have J begun turning yellow. He also ad vised producers to handle hens at night while they are on the roost, and to pick out the ones whose pel vic bones are close together and are not flexible. ? a near-record carryover from the pre vious season and, as a result, retail supplies are considerable larger than usual.. Good quality honey supplies are plentiful, Miss Brashers said, thou gh the best buys are in the large con tainters ? 5 to 60 pound cans Canned peaches, apricots, and mixed fruits, especially fruit cock rail. are on the July list, along with fresh plums. California's plum crop this year probably will be the second largest in history, and shipments; should reach some Southern mar kets.
