WHERE THE WORLD GETS
IT'S OIL
DIR. George Otis Smith Has Able Ar
ticle In National Geographic Maya
zine

The February number of the Ma
tional Geographic magazine contains
an interesting article from our towns
man. DR.. George Otis Smith, director
of the United States Geological Sur
vey. The title of the article is
"Where the World Gets Its Oil' with
sub title of But Where Will Our Chill
dren Get 1t When the American Wells
Cease to Flow The article with its
twenty-one illustrations covers some
thing like twenty pages of the maya
zine. He takes up the story OF the
petroleum industry, its growth, in
crease of the number and variety of
its uses, its power saving and the
work of a geologist as a money saver
in the employ of the oil companies.
He suggests the need fer oil pioneers
and that this pioneering spirit should
now lead American capital and Amer
lean engineering to seek new sources
of petroleum supply in foreign fields
for the benefit of American OF tomor-
row. In closing the article Or Smith
says "The part our Government should
take in planning to meet our future
needs is to give moral support 10
every effort of American business 10
expand its circle of activities in ell
production SO that it will be cc-eN-
tensive with the new field of American
shipping. This may mean world wide
exploration, development, and produe
ing companies, financed by United
States capital, guided by American en-
and safe guarded in policy
because protected by the United States
government.
Thus only can our general welfare
be promoted and the future supply Of
oil be assured for the United States"

RATION THE HEN RIGHT
 AND GET MORE EGGS

Hens will eat more food in the spring than in the summer and fall when laying fewer eggs, and A. C. Oliver, poultry club agent, tells how to feed them to insure largest production.
 Scratch mixture should be fed twice daily, in deep litter. Feed about one-third of the mixture in the morning and two-thirds in the afternoon. Give in the morning just what they will eat up in half an hour. Feed mash, either dry or moist, in addition to scratch grain.
 Dry mash is used most common all times. If moist (not sloppy) it should be fed only once a day, morning or noon, and only as much as they will eat in IS to 30 minutes. The moist mash is very useful in order to use up the table scraps. The quantity of meat scrap used in the mash can be reduced in pro- portion to the garbage and milk used.
 Feed the same rations or com bination of feeds all year, and do not try to force mott prematurely by special methods of abnormal ra- ti0nS,
 "The following is fair estimate of the amount of feed to use: One quart of scratch grain and an equal weight of mash (about 1 F qts.) daily to 13 hens of the general pur- pose breeds, such as Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth Rocks and Wyan- {. dottes,a or to 16 hens of the small CT or egg breeds. This would be about 71s pounds of scratch grains and of mash daily to 100 Leghorns, ands' about 9h pounds of each to 100 general purpose fowls. If they have free range or large yards con- taining green feed, a general pur- pose hen will eat about 75 pounds of feed in a year, and a Leghorn will eat about 55 pounds in addi-
 FEED FOR BABY CHICKS
 The feed for baby chicks that has been used with success by the Poul- try Department of the Mississippi A. and M. College is, according to Professor E. P. Clayton, head of , this work, composed of infertile eggs boiled hard, rolled oats and Aaarcoai, as follows: One hard beiied egg, one tea-cup heaping full of breakfast rolled oats, and one tablespoonful of finely pulverized charcoal.
 Be sure to use the charcoal, since st IS very necessary to health of the chick. Feed this mixture for ten days or two weeks and then gradually change it to the follow ing dry. mash and grain feed. Dry mash-rolled oats, 2 parts; corn meat, 2 parts; wheat bran, 2 parts 1; hone meal. F part; charcoal l4

 The best record for attendance over long road, through rain and mud, in the three years of my teach ing here, was made last week by twelve-year-old Edith Vevenue.

But last week she came all this dis tance alone every day, arriving in good time.
