State College special‘sts recom
mend the following good prac
tices for the month of November:
John Arey. Extension Service
dairyman, says that with the ap
proach of cold weather it is im
portant that the young dairy herd
receive a little extra care. Clean
comfortable quarters and a liber
al growing ration should be pro
vided.. One of the important fac
tors to remember in developing a
heifer is the necessity of grow
ing a large skeleton. To accomp
lish this, the animal should be
ted all the good quality legume
hay she will eat, together with
five to 15 pounds of silage dally,
the amount depending on her
age.
In addition to the roughage,
enough grain should he fed to
keep her in a thrifty growing
condition. The amount needed
will vary from one to four pounds
laily. depending on her age and
the quality of the roughage fed.
A grain mixture composed of
!wo parts corn meal, one part
wheat bran, one part ground oats,
Slid one part soybean, linseed,
ir cotton seed meal will give
good results.
Roy Dearstyne, head of the
State College Poultry Depart
ment. says November is usually
a month of profit for the poultry-
man. Pullets, if hatched at a rea
sonably early dale, should be in
full production, and old hens
carried over either for^ breeding
pairpose,s or for egg production
alone should he coming out of the
summer molt and adding their
quota to the supply of market
eggs.
Here are points to keep in
mind about winter housing; Suf
ficient litter should lie on hand
for the cold months; windows of
the house should .be intact and in
good working order; drop cur
tains should be available where
the open front house is used;
nesting material for the season
should be on hand; and an ample
number of nests should be avail
able for the birds.
Elios Blair, Extension Service
agronomist, urges that growers
finish harvesting their corn and
picking their cotton before bad
weather sets in. During most
years, fairly good weather can be
counted on

Laughter, tense drama, and
thrills of the scientific world min
gle in a rapid-fire plot in "Dr.
Kildare’s Crisis,” newest In the
pedlcal-mystery series, coming
Monday_and Tuesday to the Lib
erty Theatre. Because of the
growing Importance of these plg-
utres. the cast was augmented by
Robert Young as guest star with
Lew Ayres. Lionel Barrymore and
Laraine Day. Young play.s a new
character as Miss Day’s brother,
arrived from the West, who be
comes the “mystery patient” of
the story.
Wedding Dela.ved
In the picture the wedding
plans of Ayres and Miss Day are
halted by the arrival of her broth
er, -who has developed a mental
state identified as epilepsy. This
sends the romance of the young
couple crashing, as epilepsy Is
hereditary, for which reason Miss
Day refuses to risk marriage. But
Barrymore, as the veteran Dr
Gillespie, finds a clew which the
younger doctor in his anguish has
overlooked, and solves their
problem. Amid the drama run
comedy episodes, such a-s Barry
more’S "going collegiate” and
warbling college songs to the ac
companiment of his mandolin.
One of the dramatic highlights
is the near cure effected on little
Bobs Watson, crippled boy of the
series, who is seen receiving the
hydrotherapy treatment as sue
cessfully used in President Roose
velt’s Warm Springs Foundation
and in many important hospitals
the clinics. A complete hydro
therapy room, authentic in every
detail, was constructed for the
production and added to the hos
pital maintained at Metro-Gold-
Mayer for these pictures.
Familiar F'accs
The supporting cast includes
such familiar faces as Nat Pen
dleton. in the role of the comic
orderly. Walter Klng.-iford as the
hospital superintendent, Alma
Kruger in charge of the nurses,
and Emma Dunn as young Dr.
Kildare’.s mother, who is always
ready when he needs advice and
sympathy. Others in the cast in
clude Marie Blake, Nell Craig and
Frank Orth.
"Dr. Kildare’s Crisis” was di
rected l)v Hanild S. Bucquet,
who has guided the previous pic
tures of the popular .series. The
picture is based on an original
story by Max Brand and Willis
Goldbeck.

'The British are confident they
have the men, but It Is arms,
planes, tanks and more ships that
they need urgently and must have
to battle the axis upon equal
terms.
Even the most optimistic offi
cials here in the “front line” ad
mit there is much to be done in
preparation before Britain can
take the offensive. At first they
said an offensive could be ex
pected in 1941; now they talk of
1943 and 1944.
Britannia still rules the waves,
but needs more American help to
do It. A considerable part of re
cent staggering shipping losses
can be traced to deficiencies in
escort ships.
Unless Britain can get more
United States destroyers to go
with the 50 ' already obtained,
shipping losses likely will con
tinue at a high level. There like
wise is the need for merchant
ships and this need will grow as
spring brings an Increase in L-
boat activity.
Oniinons Admis-slon
Yesterday Minister of Shipping
Ronald H. Cross made the omi
nous admission that Britain is
losing ships faster than she can
replace them.
While Britain’s shipyards are
working at capacity, part of the
facilities must be devoted to
naval construction and repairs.
"■We are 'berefore anxious,” he
said, “to get more ships built
overseas and we are looking pri
marily to the shipyards of the
United States, since by them
selves the resources of the empire
are not enough.”
The press is demanding a
speedup of the still-faltering in
dustries and the use of the un
employed, whose numbers are
rising despite the war effort.
Britons have been blinded part
ly by patriotism, partly by propa
ganda and their censorship often
is guilty of making a reverse look
like a victory because the Brit
ish can and are “taking it.’’
Complacency, distortion and
reluctance to admit the truth are
as dangerous to the British cause

The fall is an ideal time for
applying lime to “sweeten” acid
soils, says E. Y. Floyd, AAA ex
ecutive officer of State College,
and growers have the added ad
vantage of receiving conserva
tion payments for carrying out
this practice. At this time of the
year, the ground is usually dry,
and growers have time to apply
the lime. Then through the wln-

thawing causes the land to ab

An egg is 70 per cent water!
That is a fact that C. F. Par
rish, Extension poultryman of
N. C. State College, constantly
Im-presses upon poultry raisers in
urging that they provide their
flocks with plenty of clean water
in convenient fountains. Now,
with the a^oach of winter, Par
rish adds this suggestion;
'Arrange for some heated wat
er fountains for the flock to use
when cold weather arrives. Water
consumption Is greater when the
chill U taken off. and the more
water a hen drinks, the more and
the larger her eggs.”
The specialist also warns that
drafts through openings in th«
back and ends of the laying house
should be eliminated by closing
such openings. "Winter is tha
time to make money from egg
production, when the supply Is
short,” he says. “There Is a sur

Question: When cows and
calves gnaw at fence posts and
rails, what is the reason?
Answer; This is a sign of min
eral deficiency in the ration. A
sufficient quality of calcium is
usually contained in legume hays
such as cowpea, soybean, clover
and alfalfa If these crops are
grown on a^il not deficient In
lime. Where the grain -ration con
tains 30 per cent of wheat bran,
cottonseed meal and soybean
meal, there is usually a sufficient
amount of phosphorous. However,
It will do no harm to allow the
cows and calves free access to a
.mineral mixture composed of one
part salt and four parts of steam
ed bone meal.

By selecting chicks of good
breeding; and by proper housing
and ‘feeding, the farm flock can
be managed so as to produce
eggs every month in the year.
The great need is- fof summer
and fall eggs. If the flock Is
hatched early In the summer,
more care is necessary to prevent
partial or complete molt in the
fall. However, this can be done
quite sncceesfully by the use Of
