Early Hatching For Size.

Contrary to general belief and prac
tice, chicks do not grow or thrive as
we'll during the warm months or hot
days as they do earlier in the spring.
Experienced poultrymen realize this
fact. The average farmer, however,
does not make an effort to hatch early
so that the chicks will have the advant-
age of longer and more favorable
growing season. Early Matching not
only insures more rapid gains in the
growth of chicks but has a favorable
influence on the size of the individuals
of the flock. Late Matched chicks rare
ly, if ever, attain the size of those
hatched early. Early Matching like
wise influences early maturity and
consequently early egg production.
Given the same food, care and atten
ton, chicks Matched the first of March
will weigh more when they are four
months old than those Matched month
later, say the poultry specialists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
This likewise holds true with chicks
Matched the first of April as compared
with those Matched May first. This is
due to the fact that the rate of growth
of a chick is greater during the first
four weeks of its life than at any other
time. Consequently, the early Matched
bouipr tho o6uopt of O rnoro
favorable growing season, makes great
er gains during the first four weeks of
its life than the late hatched chick.
During the early spring months when
the temperature is not so varied the
growth of chick is more uniform and
constant than it is during the summer.
Millions of chicks die every year as a
result of being infested with lice. under
average farm conditions, are oftimes
difficult to control. Hen-hatched chicks
are not az subject to lice in the early
spring as they are during the warmer
months when lice are more prevalent.
If for no other reason chicks should be
Matched early so their growth will not
be interrupted by the presence of lice
Many farmers realize considerable
money each spring from the sale Of
broilers, the price of which is usually
governed by their size when sold ane
| the time marketed. Thus it wouls
seem that in order to increase th'
amount of money from the sale O.
broilers and fryers early Matching
would be employed so as to have
marketablesized fowl early in tn
spring when prices are highest.

To Make Better Roads For Southern
Maryland.

The State Roads Commission this
year will do something to better the
condition of the gravel roads in South
ern Maryland, about which there has
been much complaint since the begin
ming of the prevailing bad weather.
The ground was frozen deeper this
winter than for many years, and with
the thaw some sections are in bad
shape. Only last week, when Governor
Harrington and Roads Chairman F. H.
Zouck were on an inspection trip, they
got stuck in the mud near Birdsville
and had to dig their car out with
shovel.
In building most of the Southern
Maryland roads the Commission under
took to give more mileage for the
money available than in other parts of
the State and used local materials to a
large extent. Building of concrete and
macadam roads in that section was
found unduly expensive because of the
long haul necessary to get material
from the outside. The gravel found in
that section is poor and does not stand
well in wet weather.

Notice to Farmers.

A party wishing to purchase the Can
ming Factory at Marlboro would like
to meet all Tomato Growers on Satur-
day, March 10, 1917, at | p. m. At
the office of the Marlboro Gazette,
Upper Marlboro, Md. He will pay SIS
per ton for tomatoes and has other
benefits to offer the farmers. This is
the top price of the market for toma-
toes and our farmers ought to find this
a very profitable crop at this price.
1t is a great mistake to have this fac
tory standing idle, when it could put 80
much money in the community.

Seek to Restrict Nets in Chesapeake.

After a conference between Swepson
Earle, Chief Engineer of the State Con-
servation Commission, and Lieutenant
Colonel Judson, engineer of the War
Department of this district, the Con-
servation Commission has decided to-
start to work to plat out the location
and number of the pound and gill nets
which line the Chesapeake Bay and its
tributaries.
The custom of planting these nets by
fishermen has grown from year to year,
and has reached such an extent that
they not only head off and prevent the
entering into Maryland waters of fish
during spawning season, but have so
encroached upon the waterway as to
prove a serious menance to navigation,
and it is for this reason that the War
Department will act in con- junction with
the Conservation Commission of Mary
land in making a survey of these con-
ditions The object of this is to give
the members of the board, as we'll as
the public, frst-hand information as to
the situation which has been SO gen
orally discussed in the past year.
These nets, it is contended, not only
by the Commission of Maryland, but
by the United States Bureau of Fish
cries as we'll are responsible for the
great lack of shad and other fish in
these waters. The United States Bu-
reau of Fisheries stated that owing to
these conditions is the reason they
abandoned the fish hatchery near Havre
de Grace, as these obstructions prevent
ed the fish from reaching the spawning
grounds and thus prevented the govern
ment for obtaining eggs for Matching
purposes.
Speaking Of the situation. the Con-
servation Commission says that the in
dustries growing out Of the various
grabbing and fishing operations in the
Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries are
very important. The commission in
tends to apply all its energies toward
building up these industries, but il
recognizes the great need of help from
every man in the State engaged If
them. The law must not only be OBJ
served but you must stop the man who
ignores the law and compel all viola
tors to serve his own, as we'll as his
neighbor's interests, by joining in such
cooperation.
