Keep Breeding Birds
Healthy and Strong
The care and management of breed-1
. birds i:-" ail important factor governing
the fertility of their eggs and,
the iivability ofl the chicks secured.'
Tfctis tlie future of a flock depends i
a great deal on the proper handling j ;
and feeding of breeding birds, said
C. J. Maupin, extension poultrynian j
at State College. ji
He gave the following suggestions >
for poultrymen who are breeding and
raising their own chicks; ^
Keep the birds healthy and vigor- )
ous; nrov::!e --'can houses, keep houses : \
weil ventilated. keep birds free from : ^
parasites, change the utter often to
avoid filth. J i
Give the birds a clean yard and 1
range, avoid overcrowding supply; 1
green feed when possible, teed milk's
in some form, and provide oyster j I
shell or limestone grit. j c
See that the birds get plenty of j 1
sunshine, and do not keep breeders 1 c
in service too long. The older the j i
biids, after the first year or two, the \I
lower is the quality and fertility of | 4
their eggs. i i
The heavier birds decline rapidly; <
?!t.. ure ursL year, but the lighter . i
varieties are good for a year or so 1
longer. If a bird is an exceptionally j
good breeder, it may be profitably | '
kept in service for a year or more i (
beyond the customary service period, j I
Milk, alfalfa, legume meals, andj I
fresh greens contain vitamins needed I
by the breeding birds. Cod liver oil <
or some other source of vitamin D i
tends to increase the hatchability of i
the eggs produced.
From 10 to 12 pounds of grain a
day should be fed each 100 birds in
co;d weather, but in the spring the
amount may be decreased.
We give you the correct 1936 (
nent as the wave itself. For wo

KING .... human nature
1 Edward VXH became* King of Eng
j land on the death or ms latner,
| George V, without even a niiid proi
test from those of his subjects who
still believe that the throne belongs
! by right to the family oi Stuart. Less
| than 200 years ago. in 1746. the last
battle fought on British soil resulted
in the defeat cf the army ied by
Charles Edward Stuart the "Young
Pretender", grandson of King James
XI. who had been deposed and banished
in 16S8.
Until 1001, when the present King's |
grandfather succeeded his mother |
Queen Victoria, there was a constant
fear iii England of another 'Jacobite j
Rising" to put the House of Stuart
bach on the throne. Finger bo wis were '
long banned at important public ban- j
quels, lest some secret adherent to j
Stuart cause, in drinking the toast
"To the King" should hold the wine- i
glass over the fingecoowl and so 1
drink to "The King over the water.' !
In late years the Jacobites have j
contented themselves with gathering j
at the statue of Charles I in Trafalgar
Square on January 20 each year ;
denouncing the reigning monarch as |
a usurper. This year, however, they!
postponed the denunciation to March j
27, so as not to annoy the mourners;
for King George V.
Some of my Canadian friends tell j
rue that their Jacobite ''Society of j
the White Rose," has a jolly time at j
their annual dinners, denying the j
claim to the British throne of the '
monarch at whose call they would |
all go out and fight, for the Empire! !
Human nature is funny in most of j
its manifestations.
h OMEX bonus j
Nobody knows how many American i
women took an actual part in the I
world War, but there were more i
hau 14.500 of them regularly en?
isteil in the military and naval serv- j
Ices of the United States, who are i
entitled to a bonus on the same ba- ;
sis as the men who served. They arc I
mostly members of the. Army Nurse
Corps, enlisted nurses who served in
the Navy hospitals, and survivors of
that interesting corps of young worn- i
en who were given the rating of:
"Yeoman" ia the Niivy, and went!
through the war in uniforms, doing J
clerical work in the Navy Department
in Washington and at the various
naval bases.
Probably fully as many women did
war service overseas in the volunteer
organizations, such as the Red
Cross, Y. W. C A.. Salvation Army!
and the r3et, and several limes as \
many were engaged in war work on I
this side; but only the ones who j
were on Uncle Sam's payroll are due ;
for the bonus.
Folks who have the \ lea that all!
vomcn are pacifists, aon't remember
the enthusiasm of the women of
America the last time we went to
var.
IVEAI..TH . . . needs watching
When young John Jacob Astor
IT quit his S25 a week job with the
steamship line of which his halfirother,
Vincent Aster, is vice-presilent,
a lot of people spoke sneeringy
of the "idle rich," jumping to i.*e
:onclusion that the young man was
lothing but a "playboy" after all.
3ut to me his explanation that the
18 hours of work every week took
ip so much of his time that he
wouldn't attend to his personal business
affairs properly, sounds quite
-easonable.
nines iiKe rnese," He .said
'you have to watch things pretty
dosely." He has had to learn young
lhat it is easier to make money than
:o keep it. Heir to one of the largest
"ortunes in America, he has discov- j
;red that everybody is trying to take
it away from him, and that he has
to do his own watching, instead of
leaving the guardianship of his property
to hired men.
I know a number of very wealthy
men. Most of them work harder at
the job of keeping their wealth from

! about low-cost housing for the poor.
| But I haven't seen anything tangi-!
; bie, so far. that convinces me that
i new houses can be built with high 1
j priced labor, at a cost that will en-j
j able the lowest-paid workers to pay
! the necessary rent. They've done it
in England by buying cheap farm
j land a long way from town, and pay:ng

the wages they get in America.
I've seen some of the European
low-cost housing developments. They
i are ail based on land values far bej
low ours, lower labor costs, and rej
mission of all taxes on lands and
j buildings for twenty years or more.
. Even then, the very poor can't afford

GLARE killed
Every motorist knows that the
chief danger in night driving is the
dazzling glare from the headlights
of cars one meets on the roads.
A young Boston scientist, Edwin
Land, has developed a new transparent
material for headlights and windshields
which is said to eliminate this
dangerous glare entirely The principle
of "polarizing" light has long been
known, but up to now it has required
expensive apparatus to reduce light
beams to a single plane, and so, as it
were, take out the dazzle.
T hope young Mr. Land's invention
will do all that is claimed for it. 1
like to drive at night, but I dread it
more and more, as cars multiply
speed increases and headlights get
brighter.

No pyultryman can expect the best
possible returns from his fleck if
he is careless in his methods of poultry
breeding. On the other hand, the
man who takes a great deal of interest
in seeing that proper mai.ir gs are ;

Prices of Cash Crops
Expected to Decrease
North Carolina farmers anticipate
a 20 to 30 per cent, increase in their
tobacco and cotton crops this year.
This is the opinion expressed by
farmers and committeemen attending:
the county program meetings over
the state, and it is the conclusion of
State College agricultural extension
workers who have been studying the
present situation.
Prices have been high enough during
the past year to make cotton
and tobacco raising profitable it was
pointed out, and as a result a large
number of farmers wish to increase
their plantings.
However, agricultural leaders are
warning the farmers that the larger
crops expected this year will, in all
probability, depress prices far below
their present level.
Most of the growers attending the
county program planning meetings
are of the opinion that some form of
federal crop control program is necessary
to hold production within
reasonable bounds, reported E. W.
Caither and Julian Mann, of the State
College extension service, who have
hern attending the meetings.
The growers are strongly behind
the long-time county planning prcIArmom

Since there is considerable doubt

to grow soil-improvement crops, and |

Eskimos Shun Gravy,
Doctor In North Saysj
I
Seattle, Wash.?Gravy seldom spot.3
an Eskimo's vest?or parka?because J
the Eskimo seldom eats uny.
Dr. Henry W. Griest. famous Point
Barrow medical missionary, admitted
recently he had failed in a 16
year campaign to add gravy to the
i diet of Alaska natives.
The Eskimo prefers seal meat, "ri;
pened" by burial beneath a foot of
warm sand in the summer. Dr. Griest
j wrote in his mimeographed newspaper.
'The Northern Cross." brought
, hero by dog sled, airplane and steani
ship.
Dr. Griest wrote he tried to get
the Eskimo to makp "gravies from
well-boiled fresh meat, deer and wild
fowl, and to feed the children with
bread and gravies in the absence of
other food.
"But the answer is: "They do not
like their meat cooked long. They
prefer it very rare, so gravy cannot
well be made. Captain (Ronald)
Amundsen, the late polar explorer, |
contended the Eskimo manner of boil-1
ing meat was the wiser plan. He
