Getting Chicken
In Colonial Pot
Took A While
It took Colonial farmers more
than twice as long to get a de
cent Sunday chicken in the pot
as it does now.
That’s the conclusion reached
by South Dakota poultry scien
tists in a recent “mini” experi
ment with a Bicentennial tinge.
Since they didn’t have a living
replica of the Colonial cackler
available, they fed rations rep
resentative of 1776, 1876, 1926,
and 1976 to modern chickens.
At eight weeks of age, the
Colonial-fed chick weighed in
at just over three pounds. By
contrast, the chicken fed the
modern diet topped well over
4*/j pounds for the same period.
The other two diets were in
between.
In actual practice, the “old
way” with Colonial type stock
would take up to 18 weeks and
about 15 pounds of feed to get
a table product that would even
compare with today’s chicken
in the amount of meat pro
duced. The modern bird reaches
the 3-pound level at six weeks
on only 5 pounds of feed.
“We didn’t have much to go
on for the 1776 diet except that
we surmised chickens in those
days did a lot of their own
foraging for scraps, grain,
seeds, weeds, and insects,” says
Wendell Carlson, animal science
professor at South Dakota
State University who conducted
the experiments.
The 1876 diet was easier to
determine. By that time, nutri
tional factors and general poul
try improvement were begin
ning to be applied. Minerals
and protein were added, and,
as a result, the 1876 chicken
was 22 percent more efficient
in its use of feed than its ances
tor of a century earlier.
In 1926, vitamins were intro
duced to chicken rations and
the birds became 30 percent
more efficient. In 1976, pure
amino acids as well as in
creased protein and energy
levels go into diets of the mod
ern chick which is 50 percent
more efficient than its ances
tor.
Little interest in commercial
poultry production was shown
in this country until after the
American Revolution, and the
first real progress in poultry
husbandry didn’t come until
after 1920 when artificial incu
bation was developed.
Early farm flocks were small,
and chickens ranged the woods
and fields virtually on their
own. Today as many as 100,000
birds may make up a single
flock, and they’re grown in
specially ventilated and equip
ped houses. Diets are figured
out to the gram and fed by the
ton, and a modern chicken may
never see the light of day until
on the way to market.
Carlson points out that the
brief South Dakota experiment
reflects the value of research.
“It shows up in breeding re
search for faster growth of a
larger bird getting more
meat on a bigger frame,” he
says. "Nutritionally, of course,
we’ve come a long way, and di
sease control and preventation
have been a tremendous help.”

'KH reports from the united states senate
■ ni' '' s
yf #^m
THERE ARE MANY worthy of special praise and thanks
as we celebrate the Bicentennial of the birth of our nation.
American history is full of impressive success stories —of men,
women, organizations, and businesses —who have given of
themselves far beyond reasonable expectation. We admire their
courage. We applaud their perseverance. And, we respect their
dedication and devotion to our nation.
In my estimation, no group in America is more worthy of
praise than the American farmer. As our country expanded
Westward, the farmer led the way. The perils and dangers of
frontier life did not deter him. Drought and adverse weather
could not defeat him. The lure of the cities and the industrial
ization of America only made him more ingenious and enter
prising. The American farmer gave stre: to the backbone of
America when the nation was young, weak and uncertain.
.Today, he provides muscle to a strong and vibrant nation.
TOTAL CROP PRODUCTION in the United States in 1975
was the largest in the nation’s 200-year history. We are capable
of not only feeding our own nation, but are fortunate enough
to export agricultural products which prime our national econ
omy annually with new wealth in earned income—s 22 billion
last year.
During the 1970’5, revenue from agricultural export sales
has been the brightest spot—indeed the economic lifesaver —
for the nation in the balance of payment problems created by
the energy crisis. Today one job out of every four in America
is dependent upon the food and fiber industry. Each SIOO
million in agriculture export sales creates nearly 5,000 new
jobs in our domestic economy.
Today, agriculture has become America’s greatest employer.
■ Farming alone employs some 4.4 million workers. That by
itself equals the combined payrolls of the nation’s transporta
tion, steel and auto industries.
AS WE CELEBRATE our Bicentennial, we look to the past
for inspiration and guidance to direct us in the years ahead.
The accomplishments of the American farmer are important
to everyone—rural and urban alike.
The nation will undoubtedly face new and difficult challenges
as we enter our third century. I am confident that the American
farmer and the entire agriculture industry will meet these
challenges. If all the nation exhibits the same ideals, high
standards of excellence, and commitment to work and produc
tion as the American farmer has, the future will be bright.

... about your
Social Security
By Kate McLaurin
Griffin Social Security
If you get a gold-colored
check each month from the
federal government, you
must report any changes in
your income to the social
security office. The gold
colored federal checks are
issued under the Supplemen
tal Security Income Program
and are usually called SSI
checks. Since these checks
are intended to supplement,
or add to, other income, the
only way to be sure that your
SSI checks are right is to tell
the social security~~*office
every time your income
changes. You can make the
report by telephone and save
making a trip to the office. If
you have any questions not
answered below, please
phone your social security
office. The number in Griffin
is 227-0183. Call station-to
station, collect.
O. What income should I
report to the social security?
P. W., Jackson
A. Any change in any type
of income for yourself or
anyone in your household
after you file for SSI should
be reported. By reporting as
soon as the change is made,
you can avoid overpayments
or delays in your checks.
Q. I just had a change in
my Veterans Administration
Pensions. Since this is a
government check, won’t the
social security office know
about it? E. M., Jackson
A. No, you must report it.
The check is not from social
security, so it is up to you to
report all changes n Veterans
Administration checks, Civil
Service Retirement, Rail
road Retirement, or Black
Lung benefits.
Q My family just started
getting food stamps. Will this
change the amount of my SSI
checks? A. P,, Flovilla
A. No. The food stamp
bonus value is just about
the only type of help that does
not affect SSI checks. No
report is needed for food
stamps.
Q. If my wife goes to work
for forty hours per week
earing $2.30 per hour, will my
SSI disabjlity checks stop? K.
M., Jaclfson
A. Her income would make
you lose the SSI checks
unless you have minor
children. You may keep part
or all of the checks if there
are children in your house
hold. You should call the
social security office for
details.
Q. What will happen if I
don’t report a change in my
income? B. 8., Jackson
A. You will have to refund
any overpayment caused by
the change in income, and
you may be charged penal
ties provided in the law for
failure to report promptly.
Each form you sign is an
affidavit that the answers
are true. Penalties for fraud,
such as deliberately false
statements, include fines or
imprisonment.
