Poultry Needs Fresh
Air, But Not Drafts
Drafts are a source of danger to
the poultryman at this time of
year, warns T. T Brown, extension
poultry specialist at State College.
The birds need ample air circu
lation in their houses, but they
.should not be exposed to direct
drafts and dampness, as thi.s fre
quently results in outbreaks of
colds or bronchitis, and sometimes
sorehead or pox if the birds have
not been vaccinated.
Birds should not be crowded in
the laying house, he continued.
There should be at least four
square feet of floor space for each
bird.
Overcrowded birds develop a
higher percentage of culls, lay
fewer and smaller eggs, and are
more susceptible to disease, he
pointed out,
“Peed a high quality laying
mash—you get more for your mo
ney when you buy a good mash,”
Brown stated. “Check a few pul
lets occosionally for body weight
and regulate the grain feed ac
cordingly.”
Keep pullets separated from old
er hens, as pullets need more
grain to build up body weight, and
cannot be fed properly when mix
ed with the older and bigger hens.
Birds that molt late and keep up
a good egg production should be
marked with colored legbands so
they can be selected for breeding
purposes next year.
“If you do not plan to buy good
chicks from a reliable hatchery,
you should arrange to breed only
jj^SXr best birds, as that is the only
you can build up a good, prof
itable flock,” he added.

fied, he may appeal to the state
committee, and from the commit
tee, if still unsatisfied, he may go
to the regional director, whose de
cision is final.
Not the least important part of
the whole plan is the regional set
up, which is in line with the pro
posal made by the President sev
eral years ago, that the United
States was too large and its re
gions to diverse in interests to be
administered from Washirig^ton
.alone, while the state units are not
set up on any economic plan. He
8ugg;ested that the nation should
be divided into a number of ad
ministrative regions, each with its
sub-TVhite House, as it were, with
the elimination of state lines as far
as possible. A similar thought pre
vails in the plan for ‘seven T.V.
A.’s,” for the administration of the
national power progrram. It is un
derstood here that the administra
tive regions provided for in the
new farm plan coincide with those
which the President believes should
be established in the power matter
and in other administrative plans.
Money Is the Motive
The motives for farmer participa
tion in the new plan are clear
enough. First, there are the bene-
his “County Agricultural Conser
vation Association.” These county
associations will be tied togrether
through state, regrional and Na
tional setups.
Farmers United As Never Before
This is calculated to create a
farmer unity which goes far be
yond anything which has ever been
attempted in a democracy. If car
ried through, it will go much far
ther toward bringing about a com
munity of interest aaumg all farm
ers of ail sections, than any of the-
existing farm organizatjons ever
dreamlu of doing.^ It will tend to.
a solidarity exceedipE *bat of any
labor organization; * It will, in ef
fect, create an agrarian deniocracy
in.side of the national democracy,
able to swing jihcesidential.^dections
and dictate*, n^oiial policies, once
the farmerq an all brought into
line. V
'There if diference of opinion in
Washington as to whether, through
this tie-up, the Federal Govern
ment’ will confrol the farmers or
the farmers;will control the Fed
eral Government, so far as agri
culture is concerned. Spokesmen
for the farmers who have been
participating. In the conferences
here speak confidently of the new
plan as “our progrram.” Certainly
in agreement in reporting the far
mers and toe population generally
of that Northwest as gratefiil for
Government funds already distri
buted among them, and eager to
get more.

WHEN to
When every man has become so thoroughly a creature of habit that he
will certainly buy this year where he bought last year.
When younger, and fresher and spunkier concerns in your line cease
starting up and using the newspapers in telling the people how much
better they can do for them than you can.
When nobody else thinks “it pays to advertise.”
When population ceases to multiply and the generations that crowd
en after you, and never heard of you, come on.
When you have convinced everybody, whose life will touch yours, that,
you have better goods and lower prices than they can ever get any
where outside of your store.
When you perceive it to be the rule that men who never do and never
did advertise are outstripping their neighbors in the same line of bus
iness.
When men stop making fortunes right in your sight, solely through the
discreet use of this mighty agent.
When you can forget the words of the shrewdest and most successful
business man concerning the main cause of this prosperity.
When you would rather have your own way and fail than take advice
and win.
When you want to go out of business with a stock on hand.
When you want to get rid of the trouble of waiting on customers.
