Experiments at Cornell and other points indicate the insemination of the turkey hens gave early fertility to the eggs. Poultrymen are com- ing to the conclusion that this method will be practical on com- mercial turkey farms. ***** Identifying the minerals in soils is a matter of minutes with a new machine purchased by the Univer- sity of Connecticut.
