A.F.M.A. AWARD
4. The average percentage of egg production on a hen-day basis was practically the same in the groups receiving 19.7% protein as in the groups receiving 17.3% protein in the mash. The efficiency of feed utilization per dozen eggs, however, was greater with the 19.7% protein mash. As a consequence, when fed in approximately equal amounts with scratch grain, the 19.7% protein mash was more economical than the 17.3% protein laying mash. ACKNOWLEDGMENT

American Feed Manufacturers' Association Award This is an annual award given for distinctive work demonstrating sound research in poultry nutrition supplemented by capacity for research. The prize, instituted by the Nutrition Council of the American Feed Manufacturers' Association, shall consist of one thousand dollars to be presented at the annual meeting. The award is made annually. Any person residing in the United States or Canada shall be eligible to receive this award. The recipient need not be a member of the Poultry Science Association. The award shall not necessarily be made upon the basis of nominations. The committee may ask for nominations from the membership of the Association. The work must be original in the field of poultry nutrition. Review articles will not be considered. Only research done at public institu--
tions, hospitals, and similar organizations will be considered. Research work published in the two preceding calendar years will be considered for the award. The announcement concerning the offering of the award and the rules governing the selection of the candidates shall be published in Poultry Science. The recipient of the award will be named at the time of the annual meeting but will also be honored at the regular meeting of the American Feed Manufacturers' Association the following spring. The winners of the Award were: 1948—H. R. Bird, U. S. Department of Agriculture Research Centre, Beltsville, Md. 1949—J. P. McGinnis, Washington State College, Pullman. 1950—W. W. Cravens, University of Wisconsin, Madison.

scratch as follows: pens 1 and 4, pelleted screenings; pens 2 and 5, wheat only; pens 3 and 6, grain mixture of 60 parts wheat, 20 parts oats, 10 parts barley, and 10 parts corn. Two groups in duplicate were fed the 17.3% laying mash with scratch as follows: pens 7 and 9, pelleted screenings; pens 8 and 10, grain mixture as above. The experiment was started with approximately 172 Leghorn pullets each in pens 1 to 6 and 180 Leghorn pullets each in pens 7 to 10. 3. The data show that pelleted screenings could replace wheat or a grain mixture as a scratch feed when fed at approximately equal amounts with laying mash containing 19.7% or 17.3% protein respectively.
