Hybrid Vigor In, Poultry
The popularity of crossbreds to
obtain, hybrid vigor in poultry is
indicated by the fact that of all
the .chicks hatched last year in
Canada, 32.5 per cent were cross-
brede. While this trend is, notice-
able, the importance of good pure
bred' strains is obvious for they re-
main the very foundation of the
poultry industry, say says L. Gries-
bah,.Experimental Station, Fred-
rice:in, N.B.
Hybrid vigor is a term used to
describe that extra something
which some crossbreds possess ov-
er their parents., It is 'commonly
-
manifested by faster growth during
the first few weeks of life and by
greater vitality. It may sometimes
be indicated by increased hatcha-
bility and high egg production.
Two or more inbred strains of
poultry are sometimes crossed for
the purpose of producing progeny
witle;hybrid vigor. The develop-
ment of inbred lines for this pur-
pose; is a costly procedure, howev-
er, and the practice has been adopt-
ed by only a few large commercial
organizations. '
A certain amount of hybrid vigor
may also be obtained from certain
creates between flocks, strains or
breeds that have not been inbred
and it is from such matings that
most of the crossbreds are produc-
ed id•Cartada. Not all crosses pro-
duce -hybrid vigor 'but two or more
strains which give the desired re-
sults when crossed, should continue
to do so year after year.
Hybrid vigor can be utilized of-
ten to good 'advantage in the pro-
duction of broilers and fryers up to
12 weeks of age because in some
instances the accelerated growth is
not accompanied by a proportion-
ate increase in the feed consump-
tion. Moreover, it is possible that
high egg producing breeds, such as
the Barred Rock, crossed with
males from strains bred primarily
for meat production, may, produce
a mere desirable type of broiler
than 'the pure bred egg producing
strain and a more economical broil-
' er than the pure bred meat strain.
The Experimental Station at
Fredericton, N.B., is at present
testing for hybrid vigor, the cross-
bred progeny obtained when sev-
eral trains of New Hampshires are
crossed with the Fredericton Sta-
Von Strain of Barred Rocks. New
Hamnehire strains were , selected
for the crossing program because
of their broiler qualities. Other
strains, including dominent Whites,
will also be tested.
A -ghod dominant white would be
preferable to other Varieties be-
teuSe; all their first getteratipn
itesehred progeny would have light
egdored feathers, a condition pre-
ferred' by Many processors, if a

is very little bush or 'wasteland so
that in -most cases the total area
is arable. Both farms we, visited
were above' the average size.
The first was owned by an ex-
tremely. well-to-do cenple, Mr. and
Mrs. P. Horse Kastberg. Their es-
tate ran to just over 1,500 aeres,
Valued at between $300 to $400 an
acre, or something near half a mil-
lion dollars.
Despite his wealth -and the *lee
of his farm, Mr. Kastberg- is not an
absentee farmer by any means. Not
once did he call upon his agent or
foreman to answer questions, but
enthusiastically explained t h e
farm's operation to us. There Was
no doubt who was the active mas-
ter of the Kastberg fqrm. ,
Mr. Kastberg has aliniciSt com-
pletely mechanized his farm, His
elaborate horse stables now house
only two animals, one a Shetland
pony. His pre-war 32 draft anim-
als have been replaced, by five trac-
tors and three self-propelled com-
bines. Other machinery on the
farm includes the latest equipment
in -sugar beet farming and eleva-
tors for 'passing grass and sugar
beet tops into silos. He has one
of the finest seed -cleaning' plants I
have ever seen, It has two divi-
sions; the first to dry ,and clean
grain as it is harvested, and the
other -to clean small seeds,

is done in winter, and this. Inge:l-
iens Dane' even makes use of the
chaff and cleanings. He blows, it
through a pipe about 100 yards
long to the furnace which heats
the estate castle.
Nothing short of castle can de-
scribe the beautiful Kastberg home.
Laid out .in the familiar European
courtyard style, it ,was first built
in 1748, and is still standing as
proud as it was the day those 18th
Century stonemasons completed it.
The Kastbergs run a mixed farm,
supporting 100 milking cows, 120
other cattle and—until they were
sold earlier this year -200 bogs.
There are 200 acres in rape—still
green when we saw it—the seed of
which is pressed for oil. There
are 80 acres of beets for sugar and
another 80 acres for feed. 'Mr.
Kastberg estimated his wheat yield-
ed 32 times seed sown, and other
grains yielded 36 times seed sown.
This indicates good land—and more
important, good farming,
