He found it a few da>s ed to conserve grain for human consumption and to help pre vent starvation aboard, accord ing to word received from the united Stites Department of Agriculture by Robert Fulton, chairman of the Macon County AAA committee. Macon county poultry produc ?lo are asked to cull at least one hen out of every seven in their laying 1 locks during May .and June, because immediate need for grain is greater than the need for eggs. To bring about a proper bal ance between livestock numb; rs and grain supplies available 1 >r feed, the government has in creased the ceiling prices Ur corn, wheat, oats, barley, ray ai n grain sorghums. Increases have also been made in the ceiling price for some protein f'.eds. When the war ended, food production emphasis, which had been on heavy feeding of grain to livestock, had to be shifted to direct use of grain for hu man consumption in order to make limited world supplies go as far as possible in saving lives, it was pointed out. Fifteen pounds of grain, enough to feed three or four lien-producing hens for a month, will provide enough flour and bread for a starving person for a month, it was said.
