The two companies each have
skills, knowledge and basic raw

bury Electrochemical Co., be
lieved to be the world’s largest
manufacturer of cholorates which
include sodium perchlorate, po

basic cholora te-perchlorate pro
duction facilities and technology.
Foote, understood to be the
world’s largest producer of lith.
ium metal and its salts, has a
basic position in owning exten
sive lithium ore. deposits as well
as lithium salt and metal product

Future Bright
Says Specialist
A ray of sunshine is seen on
the horizon of poultry producers.
Ati expert says egg prices are
likely to rise more this fall than
usual, then continue at profit
able levels through the coming
year.
Clayton Li'beau, egg marketing
specialist for the 'N* C. Agricul
tural^Extension Service at State
College, declares smaller laying
flocks, reduced egg production
and higher prices are in the pic
ture lor next year’s producers.
iLimbeau points out that Amer
ican farmers are raising an esti
mated 394 million young chick
ens this year--18 per cent less
than last. This figure does not,
however, include commercial
broiler production.
IA11 sections of the country are
cutting production of chickens
fdr laying flock replacements, ac
cording to 'Liibeah. The decrease
is greatest on farms with small
flocks.
By the first of next year, de
clares Libeau, the U. S. laying
flock is expected to be at least
7 per cent smaller than a year
earlier. Average rate of lay is ex
pected to Ibe ulp ibut total product
ion may fall as much as 5 per
cent Ibeloiw last year’s levels.
