Poultrymen Warned To Curb flocks Gardeners to Tour Orem Area r Western farmers and commercial com-mercial hatcherymen- are being warned by the u. 6. Department of Agriculture that expansion of flocks must be curbed in order to avoid a siirplus of eggs in 1950. Pauf C. Aaams, western area representative for tne Poultry Branch of tfhe-USDA's production produc-tion and Marketing Administration Administra-tion at 8an Francisco, urges farmers to complete their purchases pur-chases of baby chicks for flock replacement purposes by no later lat-er than mid-June. Commercial hatcherymen are urged not to set eggs after mid-May except to fill firm orders. There Is every indication that J chick output, aside from that used in broiler production, will' be sufficient by mid-June toi supply the goal of 700 million! chickens lo be raised on iarms In 1949 an increase of 10 per cent over the number raised in 1948. 1 Adams points out that early In February poultrymen Indicated that they Intended to purchase only 7 per cent more chicks than last year. However, farmers have apparently changed their minds and their buying of chicks Indicates Indi-cates they will raise perhaps 15 per cent more this year than In 1948. That the national laying flock was too large on January 1, 1949 is indicated by the fact that since the beginning of the year the U. S.
