' More eggs on less food
Alan Thompson
Alan Thompson , editor of The Feathered World, is giving a talk of the utmost importance to those backyarders who have joined in the grow-more-food movement so far as poultry is concerned. It may well be that with the inevitable curtailment of food supplies, the small man who can feed his birds to a great extent on household scraps will be in an enviable position. In the past, forty per cent. of our eggs came from abroad, and the supply has been very largely cut off. Backyarders throughout the country may well help to keep egg- production going.
