Broods 8,000 Chicks Under Heat Lamps

"Brooding chickens under heat lamps is by far the most successful and effective method I've used." So says Harry Gibson, Mercer

.. County poultry farm-'• er, who has been rais-

I, ing chickens pi Ohio and Kentucky, for mora than 10 years.

Since-1940, Gibson has raised almost one million chidcens and, in doing so, has used almost every brood-ing method and com-binations of brooding methods known.

^ Gibson, who . re-unify moved to Kentucky," started his first' chicks this year on February 5, using the in-fra-red lamp or heat lamp method. Of this brood, numbering 5,446 chicks, he lost only 143. This is a 2V4 per cent loss, which he says is good. "I am well satisfied when my losses can be kept under 5 per cent," he said. He tonsiders-this small'loss percentage outstand-ing considering the fact that the chicks were started in weather 14 degrees below zero. Waterers were frozen. In general, chicks were raised under bad weather conditions.

Brooding Cot: 3c A Chick When asked about' electric co»is, Gibson

replied, "My cost in using the heat lamp method was about 3c pet- chick on tikis par-ticular brood. Even that's a little high, but the reason can be found in the extremely coid weather we had last winter." Gibson also thought liis electricity costs were OuSet by too time and lal>or saved in using the heat lamp brooder. He brought out the fact that thermo-stats which require constant attention are not necessary with his heat lamp brooder.

Gibson pays no attention" to room-air tem-perature. He lets the chicks decide on their own heat requirements. "The heat lamp meth-od allows the chicks to get away from the heat if they want. It also keeps the chicks in full view at all times. An atmosphere that is too hot is a lot more serious in brooding chicks than an atmosphere that is too cold," lie said.

In his chicken house he has six 230 watt in-fra-red lamps over each 500-chick pen. The chicks are partitioned in the pens for t\«« weeks, after which they are allowed to run to-gether. He sells them when they are ten to eleven weeks old. They never touch ground. •

Second Brood *5Carted May 6 To safeguard against coccidiosis, Cibsot

spreads a heavy layer of plain dehydrated lime in the pens until a distinct lime odor is attained. From past experience he has fnnr.d this to be successful. In his last brood of 5,4 (0 chicks, he had no losses from this disease. He uses a glycol vaporizer during the entire grow-ing period to combat respiratory diseases.

Gibson started a second brood May 0, a>vl has increased the number of chicks to 8 Ho thinks .that his electricity cost for this brood will be much lower.

He is now raising 32,000 chicks per year and hopes to increase this to 64,000 next year.

"He raises the Christy strain of New Hampshire Red, one of two strains of this breed success-fully developed- for fryers.

Higher Production Seen for State in '51

By THOMAS P. COOLER Dean. College of Agriculture

XJnlomUu of Kentucky A thriving agriculture is basic to a thriving

state. This is particularly applicable to states such as Kentucky in which a large' percentage of the population is engaged in agriculture and the handling of agricultural products.

pendent on business from farm people. Farm people: are progressive and large nurr

bers of them have put into practicc the result of the research of the Agricultural Experiment

. Station. Through the adoption of the practicc: -recommended, farmers have obtained in-creased" crop yields, higher livestock produc-tion, and protection of the soil.

Feuvr'Farm 'Mortgages Farm families generally are in stronger fi-

nancial position than in earlier years. In the Kpait year, only one farm in four was mort-

ged, and personal and chattel mortgages ve declined. The trend in volume of Kentucky farm pro-

duction is up. A 50 per cent increase occurred between 1928 and 1948, and there is no reason to believe that the peak of produption has yet been reached. Barring abnormal weather, Kentucky farmers may produce a greater amount of products in 1951 than ever before.

There are several reasons why. Tobacco acreage allotments have been increased about 10 per cent. Cattle numbers, including milk cows, are seven per cent higher, which means higher production of beef and milk Horses and mules decreased 22,000 during 1950, making probable an increase in other live-stock on many farms.

Products Demand To Increase It seeiuj reasonable that the increases in

population, higher ertijMoyment, and stock-piling of some farm'products foi- defense will greatly incriease the demand fpr farm products.

Farm people would do well to adopt, so far as possible, the practices recommended by the Experiment Station so that they may be in a position to take advantage of opportunities for increased production.

FACT FACTORY

Today half the 5,373,000 electrified farms in ihe U. S. are served by utility companies, and half by RECCs. These farms constitute 90% of the U. S. total. In 1950, co-ops purchased 57% of their electricity from the companies, venerated 7% in their own plants, purchased the remainder from the government or munic-ipal plants.

The- average co-op buying from its own super-cooperative paid 50% more for elec-tricity in 1950 .than those buying from utility companies. Tne super-cooperatives sold theirs for an average-of 1% cents a kilowatt hour while the companies, including KU, sold theirs for an average of less than 1 cent
