PLANES TO SPOT TUNA
North Bend, Oregon.—Tuna
fisherman, plying Oregon's
coastal waters for the prized
albacore, will no longer hare
to perch a man in a crow’s nest
to spot the tuna schools. Pack-
ing plants here will employ air-
planes from a local airport to
spot the schools when the run
begins about June 1. The pilots
will search out the schools,
radio the plant, which in torn
will message the fishing fleet
the exact spot of the schools.

CULL POULTRY
FLOCKS NOW
College Station.—The pres-
ent ceiling prices on corn,
wheat and other grams and
protein concentrates means
that heavy culling must be
done in farm and commercial
flocks if pouitrymen hope to
stay “in the black” on egg pro-
duction, according to S. A.
Moore, poultry husbandman of
Texas A. and M. College Ex-
tension Service.
"It takes around 11 pounds
of feed to produce a dozen
eggs from a hen that is laying
at the rate of 80 eggs per
year,” Mbore said. A 200-egg
hen will law a dozen eggs on 5
pounds of feed.
The poultry specialist esti-
mated that 81/4 million Texas
hens, or about one out of sev-
en in the average flock, was
costing her owner money in-
stead of bringing it in.
While culling “Twarders”
from the flock is always good
business, it is especially neces-
sary now beeanse of the feed
situation, he said. Many low-
producing hens in poultry
flocks are eating feed at the
rate of four to five pounds per
month, so two birds culled- out
now will save a sack of feed In
the next year.
The feed so saved can go to
relieve the food and feed
shortage elsewhere, or two
young birds can be raised up
to production on .what one
old one would eat in the mean-
while.

SEEKS INFORMATION
CONCERNING CERAMICS
Austin, Texas.—-Information
on ceramics, industries in Texas
is being compiled by the de-
partment of ceramic engineer-
ing at the University of Texas,
F. K. Pence, head of the de-
partment, announced today.
'Letters and blank forms
have been mailed to the cham-
bers of commerce throughout
Texas requesting them for in-
formation on the ceramic es-
tablishments in their local
areas. They are asked to fur-
nish the name of the company,
manager, type of product man-
ufactured and the advantages
of the area for ceramic pro-
duction. including availability
of natural gas, type of clays,
and labor supply. They also
are asked to report the names
of high school graduates who
might be interested in studying
ceramic engineering at the Uni-
versity.
"Ceramic development is in
the spotlight in the Southwest
and evidences are plentiful
that ceramic industry, so long
overdue, is now getting under-
way,” Mr. Pence wrote the
chamber of commerce man-
agers. “Your community
should have a substantial
share in this movement.
The ceramic industrial pro-
gram has all the elements of
permanence and long range
growth,” he added. "A major
factor which will contribute to
this is the training of ceramic
engineers from the young peo-
ple now graduating from high
schools. We should have at
least one student from your
community enrolled in the de-
partment of ceramic engineer-
ing at the University of Texas.
This student can be conduct-
ing investigations on the local
raw materials as part of his
class work.”
