SAGE OBSERVATIONS FROM HERE AND THERE The broiler industry has grown so rapidly that now over three million commercial broilers and fryers are raised annually, according ac-cording to Walter Steffens man ager of the local division of the Utah Poultry Cooperative. In spite of this figure, however, only about 217c of the frying chickens consumed are produced com mercially; the rest are cockerels as by-products from pullet flocks The Poultry industry has be come Utah's leading agricultural pursuit and it's getting bigger all the time. The 6,000 members of the Utah Poultry last year pro duced more than eight million dollars worth of eggs and more than six million dollars worth of poultry, including turkeys. Indl cations are that the figures will be topped again in 1949. County Agents met last week and considered proposals for keeping alive the Agricultural Extension service, established in Utah for 35 years. An effort is being made through the cooper ation of the USAC and the state department of agriculture to keep the service active.

This also is lost Utah's turkey business brings approximately $14,900,000 to the state annually. Indications are that Utah turkey raisers will market 1,500,000 birds this year, The national picture is for a tur key crop that will exceed the 1948 crop by 25. There should be a total of 39,460,000 birds com pared with 31,653,000 last year, That will be an increase of 11 per cent over the 1941-1945 aver age and will be close to the 1945 record production of 44,221,000 turkeys. & . :: - . . 7 . f4 ;; , . . . m GnLLIHD- 5 i 'fflCoxe than 12 million times a day, the people served by this , Company reach for their telephones tele-phones to make or answer calls.
