The effects of oil spills on
marine life will be the subject
of a new environmental re*
search project sponsored by the
American Petroleum Institute.
The project will get under
way in May in the West Fal
mouth area of Buzzards Bay,
Mats., site of a 1969 oil spill.
Skidaway Institute of Ocean

been awarded the API con
tract.
Professor James D. Howard,
the project’i principal Investi
gator, taya the purpooe of the
study is to help determine the
specific effects of an oil spill
on the community of orga
nisms living in the sediment at
the bottom of a body of water
and how long such effects will
last.
The project is part of the

programs to insure orderly
rural development than
HOW COMPARE
TO M AND jp
Economists at NX. State University hove made income comparisons of broilers
grown on the Perdue Contract to tobacco and peanuts. They found that the net
income from 1 Perdue Broiler House will equal the income from 3.3 acres of to
bacco or 15 acres of peanuts. #
In this comparison, no value was placed on the land required for the crops.
Since only 1 acre is required for each 16,000 capacity broiler house - considerably
more land is required toachievethe same net income from tobacco and peanuts.
Os course, if a farmer is renting tobacco or peanut land - he would have to tend
considerably more acres than those mentioned in this comparison - the actual
number of acres depending on the rental agreement .
Growing broilers allows you to maximize your labor as well as your land. With a
Perdue broiler house you don't have to worry about hiring extra labor. One person
can tend to 16,000 broilers in about 3 hours each day. And. that extra labor can
decrease your profits. So don't give your profits away - Grow with Perdue.
Perdue now has 97 houses committed for their broiler program.
