This means j that seed production acres will j be less this year and yields likely will be lower. In addition, seed prices to growers have been lower than usual this year which will dis ccuraee the "in and out" seed I producer, Porte states. There probably will be an acreage re duction program involving the seeding of several million acres to grasses and legumes. This will require an abundance of! seed. While supplies of alfalfa seed are plentiful, supplies of grasses are becoming somewhat scarce. How To Cool Eggs Egg producers desiring to cool eggs in a small space may find the answer by adapting the principle of the Nebraska Egg Cooler. Howard L. Wiegers, assistant professor of poultry at the Uni versity of Nebraska, says the cooler consists of a wind tun nel placed inside a refrigerated area. An electric fan is placed at one end of the tunnel and the air- escapes through holes on the top. The holes corres pond to the size of the bottom in egg gathering pails. The eggs are gathered in wire mesh-bottomed milk pails and cooled by setting the pails over holes in the wind tunnel. As the cool air escapes from the tunnel it will flow around each egg cooling all of them in three hours or less. This per mits casing quickly after lay ing and is a key to conserving egg quality. The same cooling principle could be used for wire baskets if a funnel shaped form were devised in which to place the baskets. The funnel would serve as a trap directing the cool air from the tunnel through the To Beverly Searls By Macqueline Zajic 4H News Reporter The City Sue's, a newly or ganized 4-H Club met last Wed nesday at the home of its lead er, Peggy Jacobs.
