On Farms and in Back Yards

HOUSE the flock comfortably; keep houses dry and
well ventilated, allowing plenty Of fresh air and
sunshine.
Remodel the old house-stop cracks and eliminate
drafts.
Give hens good straw litter to scratch in during
the winter months.
EARLY hatched puets produce more winter eggs
and return the greatest profits. Early hatched
chicks have the advantage OF longer and better
growing season.
Hot weather retards the growth Of young chicks.
NEVER allow the mother hen to range with the
young chicks until they are at least two weeks
old.
Enormous numbers Of young chicks are lost each
year by allowing them to in the wet grass during
heir early life.

FARMERS HELP EACH OTHER

The following item, clipped from the
Middletown Transcript, is Of great sig
nificance to every community in Della
ware: quite a large number of busi-
ness men of this community met in
Peach Blossom Grange Hall, Tuesday
night, upon invitation Of the Grange, to
discuss the critical conditions now con-
fronting the farmers, with reference to
harvesting their growing crops. OF the
number present, everyone volunteered to
come to the rescue of any farmer who
was 50 conditioned as not to be able to
secure necessary help, the plan being to
be prepared for emergency help only, and
when such a call came to have bunch
Of men that would give three or more
hours a day out Of their own business
hours to prevent crops going to waste.
After full discussion it was decided
to effect a Help Emergency Organiza-
ton, operative for the duration Of the
war. The meeting was organized as
follows: Edward Ladley, chairman; Will
liam C. Lockwood, secretary. The fol-
lowing committees were appointed: Sc
curing Help and transportation, E. H.
Shallcross, E. S. Jones. Elwood Ban
ming; Rules and Regulations. Frederick
Brady, A. Fogel. J. E. Walls; Publicity,
J. b. Messick. J. F. Deakyne.
State Director Of County Agents NJ.
o. Pence, r. o. Bausman, New Castle
County Agent, and Mr.. Davis, Farm
Help Specialist from Newark, were pres
ent and made addresses"
This represents the first step in this
State in nation wide movement to
furnish help to save the crops. One
baa, or,a ID,
Kansas have volunteered for farm work
during harvest; practically every town
in South Jersey has organized to save
the crops on the farms in their commun-
tiles; the business men of Wilkesbarre,
Pa. have guaranteed to the farmers Of
that county sufficient help to harvest all
the crops that can be planted. In AM
herst county, Virginia, the merchants
have agreed to close their stores every
Wednesday and release men for emer-
gency work on the farms. From Mass
achusetts, New York, Ohio, Illinois and
many other states comes the news OF
similar movements.
A movement Of this kind is not only
directly in line with the wishes Of the
Food Administration and the Department
Of Agriculture but Il is also patriotism
Of the highest nature, and It shows that
the people are realizing that the COM
muRity does not end with the borough
limits and does not begin with the open
country, but that the townspeople have
a responsibility to the Earmers in every
community and that the farmers have
a responsibility to the townspeople. To
see both Of them assuming this respon-
sibillty and in 50 splendid a manner is
a fine thing and It means, not only that
the crops now ripening will be saved,
but that farmers will be encouraged to
plant an increased acreage. so that the
production Of food from America will be
Increased, or at least maintained at a
point where we can feed our allies and
our soidiFs.
