UN Sees Poultry As
World "Pump Primer"
Chicken flocks offer a very
rapid means of boosting food
supplies in hungry areas
throughout the world, says a
new report from the Fooa and
Agriculture Organisation of the
United Nations, New York City.
It sees no significant obstacles,
with modern drugs, to es
tablishment anywhere 1 of a
sound and progressive in
dustry.'
After an area-fay-area re
view in general terms, of pre
sent and potential utilization
of poultry products the FAD
report singled out poultry as
I ? f
an Inexpensive economic "pump
primer."
The poultry industry oouldbe
stimulated by establishment of
poultry feed mixing units to
channel distribution of feed sur
pluses. said the FAO. Such mix
ing units later could function
with purchases of feedstuffs,
made possible by the profits
from increased production.

National School
Week Proclaimed
The National School Lunch
Program Is the largest single
food service in the nation, ac
cording to the U.S. Department
of Agriculture. It now serves
one out of every three child
ren in the nation's schools.
The program is an amazing
network of thousands of small
enterprises operated by local
citizens for the benefit of their
children. Put together, these
small enterprises are a 11/4
billion dollar food industry,
serving 2.7 billion lunches a
year.
Food used in the National
School Lunch Program has now
reached a value of well over
$800 million annually. Ac
cording to U?DA'3 Agricultur
al Marketing Service which ad
ministers the program nation
ally, four-fifths of this food
almost $650 million worth?is
bought by the schools by their
own local market areas.
Total foods used in the na
tional lunch program annually
represent a train of 137,00^
cars?reaching a length of over
1,000 miles. This represents
over 10 percent of the total
U.S. food sold through food
service outlets.
In recognition-- of the lunch
program's value and achieve
ments the Congress in 1962
requested the President to is
sue annually a proclamation
calling for observance of Na
tional School Lunch Week. For
1963, it is the week beginning
October 13-with the theme of
"School Lunch Serves the
Nation Through Food for Learn
ing."
1
m Issuing the proc3MHKlon.
President Kennedy called upon
the people to observe National
School Lunch Week this year
in order to increase public
understanding and awareness of
the significance of the school
lunch program to the child,
home farm . Industry, and to
the nation.
The President's proclamation
also calls attention to the fact
that the lunch program repre
sents one of the nation's best
examples of a cooperative lo- 1
cal-state-Federal partnership
for the benefit of a most im
portant segment of the country's
population.
When the 16 million school
children sit down to appetizing
lunches served through the Na
tional School Lunch Programs
this year, they enjoy the Dene
fits accumulated over more than
a hundred years of American
agricultural progress.
Since the -assage of the Na
tional School i^uncn Act in 1946,
the school lunch program has
been extended to all 50 states
plus the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
Guam, and American Samos.
Great improvements have been
made in management and oper
ation techniques, tieing in the
program with plentiful foods
information Issued by the Ag
ricultural Marketing Service,
and now, giving special assis
tance to distressed areas.
The Agricultural Marketing
Service Is continually making
improvements in die operation
of the national program and
in purchasing foods for use in
school lunches. Under a pro
I vision of the National School
Lunch Act, the Agricultural
Marketing Service buys and dis
tributes to participating school
foods that are of hlgn nutri
tive value and suitable for lun
ches ?? ? .. I
These expanded purchases
help fill requirements of the
Type A lunch, which is the
basic lunch pattern established
by USDA home economists. It
is based on recommendations
of the nation's leading nutri
tionists. Often the Agricultural
Marketing Service also makes
available to all eligible non
profit school lunch programs,
foods which have been obtain
ed under authority of legisla
tion to widen the market out
let for farm products.
Only a small part of the
food commodities for the lunch
operation , however, are fur
nished from USDA sources..
Most of the food used in the
program is purchased locally
by the participating schools,
thereby providing an expand
ing market for U.S. farm pro
ducts.
Three basic requirements for
school participation in the Na
tional School Lunch Program
are that the lunchroom be op
erated on a nonprofit basis,
that free or reduced price
lunches be provided for child
ren determined by local school
officials to be unable to pay
the full price, and that the
lunches served meet the basic
Type.A pattern.
The Type A lunch, as com
pared to the average a la car
te lunch, meets from a third
to a half of the recommen
ded daily dietary allowances
and includes as a minimum
a protein-rich food, generous
servings of fruits and vege
tables bread, butter or forti
fied margarine and a half pint
of milk.
The National School Lunch
Program teaches children to
develop sound food habits, eat
a wider variety of foods, and
practice good table manners.
The lunch operation helps to
make a wholesome, appetizing
lunch available to the nation's
children every school day.

Artificial lights have beer
used for the lighting of the lay

first it was thought by poultry
men that the value of artifi
cial light was that it gave the
chicken more time to eat. Ac
tually, light is beneficial be
cause of the stimulation which
it produ ces of the pituitary
gland. This gland releases hor
mones necessary in the pro
duction of eggs.

shorter. By the beginning of
October, number or daylight

For optimum production,
provide one 60 watt bulb with
a reflector located seven feet
above the floor for each 200
square feet of floor space. Dirt
and dust will drastically re

desired level. It is necessary
to clean the fixture every two
weeks to maintain adequate
lighting. Sufficient light should
