Iowa Man Develops Wingless Chickens; Drumsticks Larger Des Moines, July Wingless chickens have been developed by Peter H. Baumann of Des Moines after 12 years of selective breeding. Baumann, 32, has about 400 of the wingless chickens. The advantages? Baumann says his birds have white meat where others have only bony wings. No high fence is needed to keep the chickens in the yard since they can only "high jump" 18 to 20 inches.

A two-foot barrier is high enough. Baumann says the chickens lay an average number of eggs, but he says in time he expects the breed will out-lay other chickens as well as produce more meat. The reason is that the energy an ordinary chicken wastes in "useless flapping and flying about can be utilized in production of meat and eggs," Baumann said. Lack of wings also makes the drumsticks bigger. That, Baumann said, is because the chicken's upper leg had to work harder to hold the bird upright.

The breed isn't perfect yet, Baumann said. He still gets about five chickeas with stubby little wings out of every 100. Baumann declined to speculate on whether a rooster can get any satisfaction out of crowing without wings, Lucas Wins Support Of A.F.L.

Finds Treatment With Phosphate Yields More Hay Fred Santjer, of German Valley, is making plans to purchase rock phosphate to apply on all of his land which has not already been treated, according to V. J.

Banter, Stephenson county farm adviser. Results he has achieved thus far have led him to believe he cannot afford to leave any of his land without proper phosphate treatment, Banter said. Santjer spread 1,000 pounds of rock phosphate per acre on one- half of one field in 1945. Last year this field was sown to clover. At hay-cutting time this year the clover was much taller and better on the half of the field that had been treated with phosphate.

Santjer is now a firm believer in applying the proper amount of this necessary fertilizer element. ELECTRIC Wiring and Repairing Main 366 Opp. Post Office GLASSES Correctly Reasonable Prices R. SILVERSTONE OPTOMETRIST 302 Smith Building Main 156 CLOTHING CO. CLOTHING CO.
