Show A C Recommends Better Planning For Saving Grain Utah farmers can do their part toward the national program pro-gram of saving grain to send to Europe by better management practices, including better feeding feed-ing and providing better feed storage. This is the opinion of Utah livestock and poultry specialists who met recently at the office of the Utah State Extension Director Di-rector W. W. Owens, to consider feed conservation measures for the Beehive State, The group, which was com-' prised mainly of Utah State Agricultural Ag-ricultural College and Extension Service officials, expressed the view that Utah farmers should not make any blanket reductions reduc-tions in their flocks or herds. They feel that the necessary reductions re-ductions can be made in a normal nor-mal and systematic manner through culling of unprofitable animals and birds. A mimeographed circular listing list-ing feed conservation recommendations, recommen-dations, as decided upon by the group, is being forwarded to agricultural ag-ricultural teachers and other agriculturists ag-riculturists of the state. A summary of these recommendations recom-mendations is being prepared in leaflet form for popular distribution distri-bution throughout Utah. This leaflet lists 10 general recommendations recom-mendations on feed conservation for all farmers to adopt. It also gives specific recommendations on feeding hogs, dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, horses, chickens chick-ens and turkeys. Copies of the leaflet may be obtained from county agents' offices of-fices or by writing to the USAC' Extension Service at Logan. The ten general recommendations recommenda-tions for feed conservation as listed in the leaflet, are: Control rats, mice and sparrows; have good storage facilities for feed; control predatory animals; control con-trol insects in feed; control insects, in-sects, parasites and diseases among livestock and poultry; feed well balanced rations; avoid careless feeding practices; provide pro-vide livestock and poultry with good living conditions; do not make blanket reductions of poultry poul-try or livestock in flocks or herds; talk to your county agent about these feed conservation measures. If Utah farmers will follow these 10 recommendations and others listed in the leaflet, which actually sum up to good management practices, that should be followed any time, they will be doing their part toward to-ward the feed conservation program, pro-gram, and at the same time will increase their personal profit, the officials said. |
