Daring the spring, the poultry far mer should be on the alert for feath er-packing, prolapses, pickouts, lame ness, blindness, and going light, problems of great economic import ance to the industry. The habit of feather, toe,. and vent-picking usually gets its start during the brooding stage, chiefly re sulting from overcrowding, over heating, and insufficient feeding and watering space. Removing the cockerel chicks or dividing the brood to give more room, furnishing an ample amount of ven tilation without, floor draft, allowing chicks access to open air and sun _v~? ?J nlanhr of feed Sixiin?) tiiiu ptvuwnift ing and watering failities generally prevent most of the picking habits, not only during the brooding stage, but also during the laying year. Many poultrymen have their profits reduced considerably because of the heavy losses of hens and pullets dur ing the late winter and spring as a result of the birds' going light, lame, or blind. Little can be done to im prove a flock in such condition, but much can be done to prevent it in next year's laying flock by growing out more healthy pullets. Another major problem is the maintaining of a high egg production through the summer. This can be accomplished by a program of rigid culling. Sending persistently broody hens to the market will raise the egg average of the flock. It is also advisable to reduce the amount of corn fed in the scratch and replace this grain with oats dur ing the hot months. Likewise, an abundance of cool water and plenty of shade are necessary for the flock. I SPRAYS Where he applied Bordeaux and cuprocide sprays on his strawberry plants, an outstanding difference for the better can be observed, says M. L. Lanier, a Duplin county grower, j Many a man pities other individuals who pity him. Manpin Gives Hints To Turkey Growers -? .'*??' Successful turkey production de pends upon saving and growing to maturity a large number of poults from each brood, started, according to C. J. Manpin, extension poultry man at State College. Since good management and strict sanitation are highly important in turkey production, most successful turkey growers use artificial incu bation and brooding methods, be cause sanitation can be more easily controlled. Most of the turkey crop is produc ed between February and June, the normal breeding season. In general farm flocks, an average of 10 to 15 mature birds may be secured fiom each turkey hen used In the spring breeding pen. Where special care and attention are employed, it may be possible to grow 20 to 25 turkeys from each hen. Whether eggs are set under hens ? *? -? iV. Mnntvo. or in an wcuDatur, uxe u>? ment for successful hatching is fresh eggs. If hens are confined to a small yard or range, and this is a good turkey practice, the eggs should be gathered twice daily. They should be stored in a well-ventilated room or cellar with a preferred tem perature of 50 to 60 degrees. If they are to be kept longer than a week, they should be turned gently once daily. For best hatching re sults, the eggs should not bp kept more than 10 days. Where hovers are used in the brood ing house, the temperature should be kept around 90 to 95 degrees at the hover edge for several days, or the general house temperature should be at least 70 to 75 degrees near the floor. The exact temperature is of minor importance if the poults are kept comfortable and good ventila tion maintained. Feeding the poults may be much the same as for baby chicks. LIME Mitchell county farmers have plac ed orders for 2,227 tons of ground agricultural limestone under the grant-of-aid proviison of the 1940 Agricultural Conservation program.

Vegetable Laxative Has Important Points 1 I Most people want a laxative to do I - three things: (1) act punctually, (2) act thoroughly, (8) act gently.

The milliors of packages PR a MEWBORW^ Looking at Washington (Continued from page one) r permit the Navy to build 2J. addition al combat ships and twenty-two aux iliary vessels. The cost of these ships would amount to 1655,000,000 but . passage of the authorization bill by both houses would not provide any money for their construction. Conse- ! quently, it will be necessary to pass an appropriation bill for the purpose before a rivet oan be driven on the additional program. _ ? . ? . . . \ Summing up the present status of naval construction, we find that the supply bill authorizes construction of something more than twenty new ves sels, more than sixty ships are now building and the proposed increase by the authorization bill will add 43 others. This may seem like a large naval construction program, but Ad i ? ? ' i ? i_ v.?.i nurai tiaroia a. omra, umei w ?a?ai Operations, says that the Navy feels that a twenty-five per cent expansion program, instead of the eleven per cent contemplated, is vital in view of international developments. Testifying that Japan has success fully concealed her naval construction since 1936, but giving figures based on the best available information, Admiral Stark says that completion of eight dreadnaughts, now believed under construction in Japan, would give that nation eighteen battleships. While the United States will have twenty-three when this country's cur-, rent program is completed, the Jap anese ships are believed to be farther advanced and it is possible that for a year or so, the battleship strength of the Japanese navy will esual, if not exceed, that of the United States. :? i I When Germany began the invasion of Norway, seizing forts on the West ern Coast, naval officials were profes sionally interested in what looked like the first test between Germany's air power and Great Britain's battle fleet. American naval officers are freely ex pressing the opinion'that Great Brit ain controls the sea because of her preponderance in battleship strength. For several days, while waiting for the British Navy to make its show ing, there was apprehension as to the effectiveness of the surface fleet of Great Britain, but' following the effective performance of the British Navy, naval officials were confirmed in their opinion as to the value of battleships. While the subject has not been air ed publicly, leading' American offi cials realize the utmost importance of the British fleet .in the American scheme' of defense. With little naval force in the Atlantic to oppose any major thrust from a hostile power, the presence of the British fleet is regarded as something like insurance for the United States.
