(Prepared by the United States DeputnMt •f Agriculture.)--WNO Service. Hens and- pullets are fewer, but egg production is being maintained because the fowls are laying more eggs per bird^1 On October 1, 1931, there were 6.2 per cent fewer bens and pullets for layers In farm flocks of the crop reporters as compared \itb October 1 a year ago, and tliere were 5.2 per cent fewer young chickens. An increase of 1 per cent Is reported for young chickens other than pullets for .layers. '• ; production has been maintained, says {he department., despite the decrease in layers." The number of eggs laid per farm flock was reported" as 18.6 eggs on October 1, compared with 18.2 eggs on October, 15130, and 18 eggs for the October 5-yeur average. The aggregate of 10 reported layings on the first of each inonth from January to October Is 291.1 eggs per farm flock In 1931, compared with 290 eggs in 1930, and 285.2 eggs in the five years 1025-1929.

The increased feeding day will enable them to eat enough to maintain their condition and stimulate egg laying. If, however, the pullets are immature when placed in the house, it is not advisable to give them more than a 12 to 13 hour day. This amount of light will enable them to eat more feed, which in turn wifc help them to complete their growth, but will not stimulate high production. If the birds are not fully grown before heavy production begins they will become somewhat stunted and olikely lay smaller eggs. The better the quality of the birds, the less is the amount of Illumination Tequlred to get a satisfactory egg production of around 50 to GO per cent. Some flocks of high producing pullets will ent enough food to maintain their weight and production without the Increased length of day, but even with these flocks, a winter egg-laying slump may often be avoided If a medium amount of light is used. 4 Jiofl't Pasture Alfalfa Alfalfa fields which have been revived by late rains should not be pastured this fall unless there Is a foot or more growth, advises South Dakota State college. Pasturing may cause severe damage to the root systems of alfalfa plants. The plants should be allowed to go Into the winter with a good top growth so as to Store plant food In the roots for a vigorous growth next spring.
