American officials expressed surprise tonight over the successful day if an adequate plan is forthcoming, saving: "We will entertain any specific program to conserve grain at the source, rather than at the con-surnr rid." The National Poultry Producers federation and commercial feed manufacturers brought into the session a promise that they would "encourage" pavings in feed grains and that they "wanted to coop-crate," Lurkman said. Want Specific Measure "I believe that." he added, "but I feel impelled to ask for the specific measures and steps by which they plan to achieve conservation." Luckman said he felt that an adequate" program might include an agreement to eliminate the use of certain grains from commercial feed and the reduction of other grams.

Another suggestion, he said, is that the poultry raisers exert their efforts to pledge breeders and hatchers to a 25 or 30 per cent redaction in the hatching of chicks.
