Nearly all poultry in U. S. and L'pper Canada are now eviscerated by the processors, And we in the Maritimoe must either eviscer-ate our birds or have our markets mken Away irom us.
Broilers which can be finished at nine weeks of age and weigh vhree pounds of feed per pound of meat have taken the place of ‘no roaster chicken in most areas.
These broilers can be raised at El very efficient and economical lfil(", and produce A light weight and tender chicken which is de- sired by the Average small fam- ilv.
The margin of profit per broiler is small and so these birds have in he raised in very large numbers to make it profitable. suitable mar- kets must be obtained. and to have good markets one needs industry. The chicken Bar B-Q's which are ltcld arfnually in different parts of the-Mes-itimss are doing A good ml) in promoting the broiler trade as many people have an opportunity to taste this delicious young chick-
en.
In turkeys the turkey broiler is becoming very popular and people are now eating turkey meat the mar round and not Just at Thanks- giving and Christmas. The turkey broilers run from four pounds to eight pounds and can be grown very efficiently and consequently are competing with our roaster chicken.
The evlscerating of turkeys is very important and our processors must eviscerato our turkeys if they ex- pect to sell our turkeys this fall.
The idea of cutting up chickens and turkeys for sale is creating .1 great demand. These cut up parts are sold iresh And frozen in st- tractive packages.
It is hoped that this Poultry school can be brought to Charlotte- town where our many Island re- tailers, processors and interested poultrymen can Attend and get an up to date view of our poultry In- dustry.
Seed Grsln
Greatly increased production of better quality grain can be obtain- ialned by paying attention to A few detailsin the care oi.’ the crop at seedinl time.
1. saw -only clean seed. Have all aeed cleaned as well as pos- sible. Cleaning removes weed seeds. rhaff and dirt, and very large and very small kernels. It helps you to risks a more even Job of sowing. if you are buying new seed get ‘he best possible. Registered seed will cost A few cents per bushel more but it will pay you in the long run as you know that it is pure Ind clean and has A high germivs- Wnn standard. Weed seeds clean- -rl from grain should be destroyed lw boiling. burning or burying in - deep hole. They may be fed to livestock after boiling for one half hour,
2. Treat seed for smut. smut is causing A great reduction in grain
yields is many arses or P. I. I. This is regrettable as the sort in money and time are small to Rest oats, barley And wheat for covered smut And oats for loose smut. Ceressn M is an effective smut control. It can be Applied any time more than 24 hours before seeding. It is A poisonous compound and the precaustlons As outlined on the container should be followed. Do not allow livestock to est the treat- ed seed
malls: in Another eiiective control for smut It should be done only About A day before the grain is to be sewn. Best method of applying iormalln is to have the grain in A pile and Apply the formalin by sprinkling with A wet- er can or wet broom. Mix thorough- ly As the solution is being Ap- plied. Mix solution in proportions of one ounce tormslin to 2% gal- lons of water and use about one gallon of this per bushel of grain. '1‘he treated grain is then covered with clean socks for four or five hours and seeded as soon As it is sufficiently dry. The dampening and swelling of the grain is A disadvantage in min’ treatment. This method gives good control of the covered smuts oi grains and loose smut of cats.
The only satisfactory treatment for loose smut oz barley and wheat is the hot water treatment. it is A very exacting operation and any- one interested could get informa- tion on it from this Laboratory oi Plant Pathology, Department of Agriculture, Charlottetown.
