Broilers are judged on finish,

Proper feeding will influence flesh-

Good feathering can be accom-
plished by providing plenty of good
fresh air and ventilation. At least
three sides of the broiler house
should be open during the day and
should be left open at night to
insure good feathering.
Ten days before the show, take
one pound of corn gluten meal,
one pound of cracked yellow corn
and mix them with eight pounds

fairly good rains were reported in

received rains in various amounts
ranging from 4 to 14 inches. I.ate
reports indicated moisture was now
sufficient to plant in most all coun-

central Texas area; however, the
rains could cause some replanting
to be done.
