Some chicks have already been placed under the brooders but per haps the largest number of chicks for layers will be started in March with some in - April. Chicks started in March should be laying in September when egg prices are climbing.

The nation's mobilization effort, ci vilian requirement, ' and fiber needs of U. S.jfillies abroad create a press ing demand for the 16 million bales of. cotton the Department of Agriculture v.ally highest. In order to raise chicks success fully you should have adequate equip ment. Check the equipment so that each chick may have a chance at the feed, water and heat. If the floor space is adequate, you will have square foot per chick at first and 1 square foot after the 6th week. Each chick should have one inch of feeder space for the first three weeks and then allow two inch es. Keep a good quality feed before the chicks at all times in order for them to make good growth. Clean, fresh water is essential and should be available at all times. Each hundred chiCks will need two three-gallon wa ter fountains.

PHONE 2511 FOR QUICK, QUALITY SERVICE RED AND BLANCHE BELL Council estimates, the entire current supply of 16.8 million bales of cotton 6.8 million bales carryover from the! previous crop, 9.8 million bales pro duced in 1950, and .2 million bales imported would be virtually exhaust ed by August 1, 1951. From the total supply of 16.8 mil lion bales it is estimated that do mestic demand will take 10 million bales or probably more. If they could get the cotton, foreign customers would buy approximately 6 million bales. This would leave a carryover dangerously low in view of he present world conditions. In the United States greater in dustrial activity, full employment, in creased spending, and population growth have upped the demand for CQtton. Foreign demand is being stimulated by rearmament and the world-wide shortage of cotton is in creasing with the rise in dollar earn-. ings abroad due to U. S. stockpiling of strategic materials from abroad, greater purchases of foreign made goods by U. S. consumers, and more buying of foreign raw materials by U. S. industry. The same factors which account for the current high consumption of cot ton are expected to prevail in the 1951-52 crop year. In 1951-52 it is estimated U. S. consumers will continue to use at least 10 million bales annually. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has esti mated that 6 million bales of cotton jwill be needed for the export market.
