HAM AND EGGS
In an address, “Agriculture, A Nation’s Sheet Anchor,” to members of the R.Q.Y. Club at Brisbane recently Mr. J. F. J. Reid, editor of The Queensland Agricultural Journal, discussed the necessity for increasing production. He siaid that as turtles laid from 400 to 500 eggs at a sitting, he thought it would be a very good idea if a turtle were crossed with a white Leghorn hen. The increase of hen eggs would quickly result, the
unwanted eggs could be fed to the pigs. The pigs could then, with profit, be converted into bacon, which, having the flavour of eggs, would eliminate the necessity for marketing the two separately!
