Chickens
"1
The politicians can’t promise a |
better chicken than this, for here is
visual and scientific proof that med
ical science’s “wonder drugs” can |
bring about increased growth in
poultry Dr. J Russell Couch, of
Texas A & M College, displays two i
10-week-old chicks. The one in his j
f left hand weighs pounds, the
other 3V4 pounds. These chicks re
ceived identical care and feed, ex
cept that the larger one received
an aureomycin-vitamin B12 supple
ment in its feed. The remarkable
growth-aiding properties of aureo
mycin, which is used against a wide
variety of human diseases, have
also been proved in turkeya, hogs
and calves.

PRIZE LIST GROWS FOR
MEA ANNUAL MEETING
The prize list is mounting al
ready for the Annual. Matanuska !
Electric Association annual meet
ing Saturday, April 5
A projected attempt to raise
the number of board members j
from five to seven will probably j
have to wait until next year, ac
cording to an opinion given by
Attorney J. L. McCarrey. It seems |
that a provision in the by-laws
precludes an order of business
whereby the change in number of
members could be voted on prior
to the election of officers. If the
by-laws are amended this year, a
larger board may be elected at
next year's meeting. C. A. Brewer
