Research Station, says poultry farmers will
Probably have to pay more attention to what's
inside the egg in future. He is studying the
possibility of breeding chickens in a manner that
would make the egg an even more nutritious
product,
Competition from other foods, including
synthetics, may soon force the poultry' industry
to measure the value of eggs in terms of amino
acids and, other nutrients instead of just size and
quantity. Dr. A. T. Hill; a Canada Department of
Agriculture scientist at the Agassiz (B.C,)
What do eggs have?
What do eggs have that
no other human food contains?
The future of the poultry egg
industry could hinge on the
answer to that question because
our modern technology is
moving swiftly towards
production of synthetic foods.
At least that's the way Dr. A.
T. Hill sees it from ' his
laboratory at the Canada
Department of Agriculture's
Agassiz Research'Station.
He has already begun a study
of the nutrients in eggs,
measuring the quantities of
albumen and yolk solids under
varying feeding practices for
pullets and hens.. He is also
looking at the heredity side of
the picture.
"We've been busy measuring
our production in terms of the
number of eggs hens lay, but I
think the day is approaching
when we're going to have to
measure production in terms of
the amino acids and other
ingredients. After all, these are
the factors that give eggs their
food value," Dr. Hill says.
One of . Dr. Hi1l,studies, t
measµres, .a the. percentage of
solids in the yolk and albumen
of eggs. Because the solids in
yolks are more valuable, he
would like to increase the yolk
ize relative to the total egg size.
In his genetic studies, Dr. Hill
onsiders five key factors: the
lumber of eggs the hens lay, the
weight of eggs, the hatchability,
ertility and liveability.
"But, in our experiments in
.electing pullets for their net egg
returns we learned that the
percentage of albumen solids
was just about as important as
the number of eggs a hen lays. In
addition, we found that this trait
was highly correlated to
production. In other words, we
can tell with some accuracy if a
hen will be a good lifetime
producer by analyzing the
percentage solids in the albumen
of the first eggs she lays."
Dr. Hill has demonstrated
that egg production "plateaus"
in highly -selected strains r;an be
broken by crossing with other
strains of similar status and
re -selecting.
This,,. basic genetic
information has had far-reaching
repercussions in an increasingly
competitive industry. Since
1958, poultry breeders have
increased the production of their
stock by about two eggs per
layer . per year. A one -egg
increase resulted from selection
for egg numbers and another egg
increase was gained by .cutting
deaths by half a percent.
"That may not seem like
much until you begin to apply it
to the entire industry and
recognize that it is a repeatable
annual gain," says Dr. Hill. "The
two eggs would be worth about
five cents. Applied
industry -wide, that's an
additional return of $625,000 a
year each succeeding year".
Expressed in another way, that
is $250 per year for a 5,000 -bird
laying flock.
In addition to this genetic
study Dr. Hill is currently

studying two key management
factors which could increase
profits.
One involves feeding pullets
anti-ovulants to keep them out
of production until they mature.
Pullets normally lay small eggs
of little economic value when
they first come into production,
In fact these eggs sometimes cost
more to collect and process than
they are worth. Only when the
pullets have developed
sufficiently to produce
reasonable sized eggs are they
allowed to come into lay.
"Our preliminary results
indicate that we can increase
profits by holding our pullets
out of lay for a few weeks," Dr.
Hill says. "But •we're going to
repeat our experiments before
we make any specific
recommendations to • the
industry."
In another experiment, Dr.
Hill showed that hens can be
force -moulted and brought back
into profitable production.
"Instead of buying new
pullets for $1.75 each, farmers
can moult orle-cycle"? year-old
stock with a capital' output of
only 50c per bird.
Dr. Hill is currently studying
the possibility of regulating the
egg production of hens with
anti-ovulants. If this works, hens
could be taken abruptly out of
production and returned to
production in accordance with
market requirements. Hence •
wasteful egg surpluses could be
avoided.

Tips for new cooks: Buy
approximately one pound of
hamburger for four servings.
This could stretch to five
servings if vegetables, rice, etc.,
are added. A meat loaf made
with two pounds of hamburger
meat as a base will probably

The Canadian Radio
Television Commission has heard
a proposal by NTV
Communications Corporation to
set up a third national network.
The board. was told that more
than 40 of Canada's TV stations
would be wiped out if they
granted this request.
If it is approved it will mean
the collapse of one of the
present networks, probably
CTV. Since the CBC is
subsidized by the Government
of Canada, they would continue
operations. '
There are three networks in
the United States, and one of
them, ABC, has always suffered
in several different ways. Many
of the shows that are having
rating trouble are ABC
programmes.
At the hearing NTV was
attacked by small,
indepently-owned stations — and
to some extent, by the CBC as
well as by CTV.
NTV plans are to have its
four basic stations operating by
1972 in Toronto, Montreal,
Vancouver and Ottawa.
They would take in
approximately 16 million
dollars,'which is more than the
total revenue of the 41 smallest
stations in Canada.
NTV says that if there are
more television outlets,
advertisers will spend more
money on advertising, rather
than continueat the same level
of expenditure.
Come Come Come, who are
you idiots trying to kid? If the
C.R.T.C. grants' this application,
the Cabinet will have no choice
but to rescind it.
There are " not enough
advertising dollars available to
support a third network.
Canada will never have a third
national television network.

Dictionaries reflect

The English language seems to
be undergoing what might be
called a "language explosion."
Dictionary editors are
hard-pressed to keep up with it,
But where do the new words
come from? It seems as though
forming new words ' is
everybody's business — the
politician, the scientist, the
economist, the fashion designer,
the man on the street, and of
course, the teen-ager.
What new words or
expressions have the politicians
given us recently? Well, there's
conspiracy of silence, which
means "a conspiring to keep
something wrong, damaging,
etc., from being divulged."
And then there's gaposis,
meaning "any conspicuous or
abnormal gap, deficiency, etc."
Now when you read about the
credibility gap, you'll
understand gaposis.

Man of the year
No matter what Time- magazine may •
do, think, write or publish, our
nomination for Man of the Year is Mr.
Samuel Shenton, general secretary of the.
British Flat Earth Society. We never did
like a quitter, and there•is nothing of the
quitter about Mr, Shenton.
We, too, have always wanted •to
believe the 'earth was flat. It was perhap's
wishful thinking. There •were so many •
people around we wanted to take to the,
edge and push off. But this week's Apollo
flight has convinced us: this ambition of
ours can never be realized.
Not so Mr. Shenton, evidently a man
of the British bulldog breed.
Our hats are off to him, and yours
should be, too. Paraphrasing Time again,
"No quitter he." — Montreal Star
