Most People Use Chickens Ov«r 90 par cant of all home maker* lnUivic*ed Kfvcd bloD* an or fryan aometima during IMS. and about half at tbaae nam •erred then onee or mora a week, U. S. Department of Agriculture researchers concluded after conducting a surrey of a (elected sample of homemakera in the United Statea. Preliminary findings from • Tune and July 1006 interview Indicate that during the 13 months preceding the Interview almost all uaers of broilers or fryers had served them fried; about one uaer in three served them aa fried chicken only. Around 40 par cent of users had baked or roasted this type of chicken during the year, about 25 per cent had broiled them, and about 17 per cent had barbecued them. Those preliminary figures are consistent with the Department of Agriculture estimates that the per capita consumption of broilers In I960 reached about 10 pounds per person. Consumption of this form of poultry meat has almost doubled since 1900, while the per capita conaumption of all chickens has risen only about three pounds or IS per cent during the corresponding period. Poultry in other forms is served by fewer housewives. Although about two-thirds of the homemak* era interviewed served turkey during the 12 months preceding the survey, it was served mainly only one to three times during the year. About half the respondents bad bought stewing chicken daring the year, while slightly less than half bought roasting chicken, and only 1 in 19 bought duck. About 90 per cent bad aerved frozen poultry pies, or froaen poultry dinners in the proceeding 12 months. Frozen pies, especially chicken, were used more than either frozen chicken or turkey dinners. These preliminary findings are based on a survey conducted by Agricultural Marketing Service rosearchers at one of a series of studies providing Information < WITH 4-KARREL CARBURETOR, CUSTOM HUM, KINO-SIZE 8.50x14 TIMS Plus Ml Th— Otht ixm-Vaiv Fiatvr* at No Extra Cottl ' BIO-CAR MNCTtTSTwo-Tone Accent Styling L* 122-Inch WhMlboM 4091 Pound* BIG Big-Cer Roomine»i Hi-lo Bumper Protection ROCKIT T-400 BNOINI— 277 Horaepower 40CMb.-ft.
