�ood DemonstrationsStand Up To TestsThe proof of the pqd.ping, pf

course, IS In the tasting, and theproof of a demonstration is in thetesting.Duning the recent 4-H Leader's

Conference in Flagstaff, SarC\hHarman, Assistant State Leaderpf 4-H Club W0*, eutlined someaccurate tests of a good demon-stration. ,;

Local adult leaders know thata demonstration consists of threemain steps or parts: (1) the intro­duction; (2) the main body; and,(3) the s'4}llrpary.. But: checkingto see' if members include allthese parts in their demonstra­tions is not enough.Leaders can easily check

No (lIf-Flavor In Cooked ClUckenFrom Fat In FeedPoultrymen know that added

fat in the mash can give faster,more economical gains, and now

can stop worrying about thechance that this added fat willaffect the taste of the cookedmeat.,

.

The report that fat in poultryfeeds does not cause off-flavors'in the meat or

.

skin of chickenswas' given at the recent meetingof the Poultry .Science Associationof Columbia, Missouri. The testswere' done at the University ofWisconsin.The scientists fed White Rock

chicks diets with 26 percent addedfat, while another group oJ: chicksgot a similar '. diet • without the

.

added fat. The meat was cooked,then judged by . taste panels.The taste testers. COUld, tell no

difference at all' in the meat ofchicken on the two diets, and theyeven rated the skin taste of fat­fEd chickens slightly higher inone test .

. The researchers point' out thatthe fat level in these, diets wasconsiderably higher than the one­to-five percent· normally usedcommercial poultry feeds.

,Production OfFeed Grain High ,

Feed grain proc\uction this vearwill be about 'the same' as thebumper harvests of last year. In­creased production of oats,and sorghum grain will cancelthe drop in corn.

Carry-over of grain, at theof the 1957 harvest' is ex:pe(!te11lajbe five million tons moreit was at the same period'year. Total supply of feedfor 1957-58 feeding will alittle above last year's recordhigh:'· .

Output of by-product feeds isalso. expected to be high. rrhenumber of animals fed will beabout thesame as last year. Thisshould result in somewhat lower

for �eed .grains.
