WHEN TO HOUSE THOSE
PULLETS
There are ae many shades of
poultry-raising as there are sec
tions of this vast country, so
when it comes to a question such
as "When should pullets be
housed?" there is no pat ans
wer. The time at which the pul
let flock should be selected and
placed in the laying-house ra
ries acoording to climate and sea
son.

However, there is one pretty
stable role to go <by In housing
Pullets, and that is?confine
them before their rate of pro
duction hits 10 per cent. This
way, production is not upset by
the act of housing, whereas, if
yon wait longer to put them in,
you miw hare * Mittle trouble
getting 1 production going. So
when you see some eggs on the
pullet range each day, it's time
to think of housing.
Select Flock Carefully
Of course, only the well de
veloped pullets will be laying
eggs on the range. Since most
flocks vary considerably among
individual birds, it is usually a
good idea to do some careful
selection in making up the lay
ing flock. If your pullets vairy
between well-developed and slow
maturing birds, chose only the
former for your laying flock.
Leave the slower birds on the
range for a while longer, or mar
ket them immediately, according
to your beet Judgement.
In selecting pullets for a lay
ing flock, observe such charac
teristics of good layers as: a
rather square, not-too-long head;
well-developed comb, with good
color; long, broad back; long
keel bone; and plenty of depth
of body.
Poor pullets usually are the
opposite in characteristics, hav
ing long, "crow" heads, under
developed combs and a short
back and keel bone. They usu
ally are very shallow of body.
Cull Constantly
There is ample opportunity for
further paring of the flock, after*
the birds have been housed, of
course. Constant culling should
be practiced by the poultry-rais
er; this means that non-produc
tive birds should be weeded out
throughout the laying-house sea
ty should not be abused by al
lowing a high percentage of poor
pullets to be housed with the
good ones. Keeping poor stock
in the flock at any time merely
drags down the quality of the
whole?and costs the raiser
money.
Once you have decided against
a bird, better get rid to her!

Air Parcel Post
Is In Operation
With the inauguration of nar
tionwide ? worldwide air parcel
post September 1, the United
States can 'boast of the, most
modern and expeditious delivery
service in the world, according
to Postmaster M. P. Bumgarner,
of Wilkesboro. "*
The new highly specialized air
borne service, enacted into law
by the 80th Congress, will af
ford patrons of more than 42,000
postoffices in American and its
possessions unexcelled shipping
facilities. Transit time will be
reduced to a fraction of that re
quired by other modes of trans
portation.
Postmaster Bumgarner point
ed out that air parcel post pack
ages will receive the same par
ticular consideration shown air
mall in routing. In addition,
identical doorstep delivery will
be given to air parcel post as is
afforded other forms of mail,
making the airborne mail service
unique in every respect.
He added that distinct air
parcel post stickers, printed in
red, white and blue and bear
ing the likeness of a winged
package with the earth's globe
underneath, will soon be avail
able without cost at the Wilkes
boro postoffice to apply to out
going packages.
"With a scheduled plane tak
ing off or landing within the
United States on an average of
every seven seconds around the
clock, and an overseas-bound
plane leaving our borders every
30 minutes, we stand ready to
give our patrons the fastest par
cel post service offered any
where,'' PaStmasted Bumgarner
said.
While international air parcel
post service has been available
from the United States and its
possessions for several months,
domestic airborne service is be
ing launched for the first time
in history.
