“It's their imagination. Colonel. I

Sell Broilers Closely
to Prevent Loss Later
The bottom usually drops out of the
•roller market Before the first of July.
Usually It starts downward quite rap-
idly after the middle i»f June. This
makes It profitable to. sell all hirds
that /re ready for market. At this
season of the year It Is often possible
to get more for the young birds, even
though they do mu weigh more, than
two pounds, than tliey bring later In
the season after they have consumed
a large amount of feed.
Another advantage in selling the
broilers closely is that the pullets need
room. If the broilers are sold the
pullets cun utilize the room that was
occupied hy the cockerels. This will
give them a better chance to develop.
Pullets that are crowded, that are con-
fined with the old hirds. or that are
raised on contaminated ground are
working under a handicap. If a sep-
arate house Is available, such as tha
brooder house, this cau be pulled to
the edge of the orchard anil tie mude
