This stimulus is provided by pressure and rubbing of the keel against the perch during roosting. It requires an extremely narrow breast for a bursa to develop at the age of 12 weeks; those that are sllghtly rounder may develop them later in life and ver{ muscular, glump and _ relatively _ shallow reasted birds, do not exert the reâ€" quired pressure against the perch for their development. It is signiâ€" ficant that Leghorns and females of the heavier breeds, which are plump in the breast, relative to their weight very rarely develop bursae, and also that the incidence and size of bursae diminish in‘ males after approximately 25 weeks of age when they begin to , sequire rounded, more muscular breasts.

BUTTER QUALITY COMPETITIONS ARE ANNOUNCED "The.immediate increase of 1% cents per dozen will, as already stated, be effective with purchases of eggs from suppliers by the Speâ€" cial Products Board as from May 5. The Ministry of Food have stressed their expectation that the fuli amount of this increase will be reâ€" flected immediately to producers for all eggs delivered at Registered Egg Grading Stations for carlot shipment to the Special Products ’ "Prior to the latest adjustments, egg prices under the present conâ€" i-tract were 1% cents per dozen highâ€" er than in 1946 for the period of February to August, inclusive, and 2% cents per dozen higher than in 1946 for fresh eggs exporteg during the period September to January, inclusive. With the present inâ€" creases, prices from May 5 to the end of August will be 3 cents per dozen higher than in 1946, and fresh export eggs in the September to January period will be 5% cents above 1946. ‘"‘Whether. or not these adjustâ€" ments will compensate in full for increase in feed prices which have taken place or may take place in the future, the British have made it ,clear that this is the limit to which they can go under the present conâ€" tract, which expires on January 31, 1949. It is our opinion that if proâ€" ducers desire stabilization of prices based on contracts with the l}’m'u-d Kingdom they should not expect variations in contract prices folâ€" lowing every change in costs. "These adjustments have been concurred in by the Ministry of Food in order that egg production, and sugflies to Britain, will not be curtailed as a result of recent adâ€" vances in cf)oultry feed costs or of further advances in feed prices which may occur when subsidies on feed grains are removed. "Prices for eggs under the Briâ€" tish contract are to be advanced tg 1% cents per dozen effective wi eggs spumhqled or contracted for by the Special Products Board on and after May 5, 1947.
