GULL GROWING PULLETS

A flock Of growing pullets
nearly always contains consld-
cradle proportion of birds very
much under size or in other
ways poorly developed. Most
poultry keepers are inclined to
keep these until the flock Is
culled at maturity. 1t is much
better to Gull them out as soon
as they are marked as conspicu-
ously backward. 9sst-
In war time, with feed scarce,
press Of other more important
work Is the only excuse for let
ting them remain. They will
never make a profit, and the
sooner they are eaten the less
win be the loss. Even where
foraging is good It does not pay
to keep them. 1t Is much better
to let the good pullets have all
the feed. Fr

RED CROSS PIG CLUB

The county agent in Carroll
county. Mississippi, started out
last winter to combine pork pro-
duction and Red Cross work.
He tried to get $500 people
each to raise one pig to be
known as a Red Cross pig. In
stead of $500 members, he got
5000 In a county that has only !
1,600 voters. In September
the club members are to send
5000 hogs to the st. Louis mar
ket. This will mean contri-
button estimated at $4,000 to .
the Red Cross, In addition to
more pork for the country and
more money for Carroll county.
A $25 registered pig is given :
each month as a prize to the
member whose pig has made
the greatest gain. 1a

Munich Appeal For Aid
Draw Up Petition to Wilson
Asking Food Relief For
Stricken Nation

MUNICIT,sDec. 81 By The Associated
Press a group Of Americans of Ger
man birth who have been in Munich
throughout the war, unable to obtain
American passports, met last evening
and drew up petition to President
Wilson asking for quick food relief for
Germany and also assistance in COM
municating with their friends and rcla-
tivcs in the United States.
The meeting was marked by adj
dresses by those who favored asking
bluntly for passports, since all are de-
sirous of @oing to America, but it was
decided to postpone the request until
later. The meeting considered taking
steps toward getting in touch with
other Americans similarly situated in
Germany, especially a colony of
native born Americans in Munich
who have refused actively to associate
with the COMMUNICATIONS All such
efforts have thus far been frustrated
by the police. who have refused to give
the addresses of Americans residing
here. Appeals to advertisements in the
newspapers have also proved futile.
