...packers hope that the system will, do for hogs what it has done for poultry. Ten years ago broilers were raised mostly by Midwestern farmers as a sideline. Then the feed companies began making contracts to raise chickens, concentrating on less successful farmers, many in the South. The feedmen supplied broiler raisers with chicks, feed and a guaranteed purchase price, usually 2? per Ib. With the new methods, Southern farmers cut the broiler cycle from 15 weeks to 9, upped production 1,620% in Alabama, 1,454% in Mississippi in a decade...

While you are cooking this, melt ½lb. butter until it is brown. Turn your soufflé over on a hot dish, and immediately pour the brown butter over...
...best method for ending the trouble of overproduction was suggested by Agriculture's Poultry Division Director W. D. Termohlen at Purdue University's annual Broiler Day meeting. Said he: "I would like to suggest to you broiler growers that this would be a good time to take a . . . vacation. The expenses . . . would probably be no more than what it would cost you to raise your next batch of broilers . . . we are heading for a long period of rough times, certainly through December...
