therefore, will be in better health and
will give higher fertility, better hatch
es, and stronger chicks.
The breeding flock needs careful
supervision to make sure that the
fowls keep in good breeding cOndi
ton. The birds and the houses should
be examined often to see that they are
not infested with lice or mites Either
of these pests in any numbers will Sc
riously affect or totally destroy fer
tility. Care must be exercised also
to see that the male does not frost his
comb or wattles. If these are frosted
his ability to fertilize eggs will be i'm
paired and may not be recovered for
several weeks. On very cold nights
when there is danger of the combs be-
ing frosted the males to be used as
breeders must be put in warm place,
such as box or crate Of suitable size
partly covered by bag or cloth. The
breeding male should be examined Oc-
casiOnally after feeding to see that his
crop is full and that he is not grow
ing thin. Some males will allow the
hens to eat all the feed with the re-
suit that they get out of condition.
If this happens the male must be fed
separately from the hens at least once
a day.
Provide the breeding stock with
comfortable quarters. The house
must be draft proof, yet well venti-
lated and dry. The birds should not
be crowded. If the birds are yarded,
square feet of floor space per bird
should be allowed. but on free range
from 3 to 31a square feet per bird will
be enough.
The breeders must be fed so as to
keep them in such condition that they
will produce eggs. Any good laying
ration Is suitable for this purpose.
Beef scrap should not run above 10 or
Is per cent of the total ration. The
birds should be kept in good flesh but
should not be allowed to become eX-
cessively fat All whole or cracked
grain should be fed in litter. This
forces the fowls to exercise by scratch
ing for it. AS a supply of green feed

or early in the spring. sprouted oats.
cabbage, mangels, or cut clover or
alfalfa should be fed.

the goslings artilicially, keeping them
from one to three weeks in the house
at night In a covered bushel basket.
To keep record of their age and
breeding the web of the feet of the
newly hatched goslings should be
punched. Hens with gosings may
be confined to the coop and the Cos
lings allowed to range. In mild
weather the hens are allowed to brood
the goslings from seven to ten days,
when the latter are able to take care
OF themselves. 1t is very necessary
to keep the young goslings dry, so they
are usually kept confined in the
morning until the dew is dried off, and
they should not be allowed to get into
water until partly feathered. This oc-
ours when they are from two to four
weeks Old, depending on the weather
and their range. GOsings caught and
apparently drowned in cold rain may
sometimes be revived by drying in fan
mel near fire.
Good-siZed growing coops with
board floors should be provided for the
goslings, which must be- protected
from their enemies. When on range,
the young bird needs some attention.

post holes and odd corners. Young
goslings, II confined, should be given
grass yards and the coops removed
frequently to fresh grass. 1t is bet
ter to keep the growing goslings sepa-
rate from the Oh stock. Shade should
be provided in hot weather. If very
young goslings are allowed to run with
large animals, they are apt to be in
jured or killed.

for chicks during the first week. In
order to insure that all chicks get

LASKFR UPHOLDS
 MARINE AS VITAL
fBy the AssocIatsd Press)

New York, Oct 5.-Until America as whole awakens to the fact that national economic stability is depend ent upon the establishment of nation al merchant marine, there can never be an American merchant marine, Chairman A. D. Lasker of the ship ping board declared today in an ad- dress before the Associated Advertis- ing Clubs of the World.
 Reviewing the work of the present board during its existence of 16 weeks, he asked the patience and indulgence sf the country declaring that if these were not given "America's economic life on the seas, for the next genera tion, is dark indeed"
 Until the farmer in Kansas, the industrial worker in Indiana, the miner in Arizona realize," said MT. Lasker, that the regularity and vol ume of their daily wage is, in a measure, as dependent on the estab- Hshment of an American merchant marine as is the continuity of en- ployment and the wage of the dock worker in Baltimore or San Francisco, there can be no assured hope that the flag of the United States will be maintained as it should be on the seven seas. Some economies accept as fundamental that national pros perity is based on continuity of em- ployment at wages consonant with American standards of living"

TO STORE COUNTY
 CROP OF POTATOES
TRUCK GROWER s PLAN
Gain Higher Prices by Observing Market-Berry Culture Gets
 Big Boost.

Erection of a sweet potato storage and curing house in this county is now up to committee headed by r. U Halter, appointed at the meeting of
 the Faulkner Fruit & Truck Growers
 Association held in the rooms of the
 Conway Commercial Club last Satur-
 day. MT Halter and his assoc ates
 were delegated with authority to draw
 plans for the structure and to call
 another meeting of the association when their report is ready. Erection
 of the house is proposed for the earliest possible date, in time to be used for the present season.
 The association today made appeal for the support of all interested in the growing of sweet potatoes for commercial purposes. Announcement will be made of the next meeting. and an increased attendance is much hopol for. The potato house will be thor oughly modern and will hold the pota. toes Tn storage until the market is most favorable. As pointed out by County Agent T. NJ. Williams and others, better prices can be obtained for potatoes if they are stored and not placed on the market when gath cred. Markets are glutted at that tune and low prices prevail.
 With the house to facilitate market ing, the movement will also include increase of acreage. The sweet spuds have been found to be a profitable crop Tn this county, and the association plans to start the industry on broad CT scale.
 Accurate list of the strawberry acreage could not be prepared at lasee Saturdays meeting as the time was with the address of W. C. North, sales agent for the Bauer farm at Judsonia, and discussion of the sweet potato house. Another effort Will be made to secure this list, which IS essential to the formation of market plans for next spring MT. North m his address emphasized the ad vantages held by Faulkner county rom the standpoint of climate and accessibility to markets to the north and west, which can be reached more quickly with express shipments than IS possible from White and other coun- ties now profiting by the cultivation of strawberries

CHURCH COLLEGES
 10 HAVE RENTALS
(By the Associated Pressl

Memphis, Oct. 5.-Presidenls of universities, colleges and schools con ducted by the Southern Methodist church assembled at the Hotel Chisca yesterday for an all day conference in regard to the revivals which will be held in educational institutions of which they are heads. The meeting was presided over by Dr. C. G. Houn- sell of Nashville, educational secretary of the general board of missions, and Dr. o. E. Goddard, also of Nashville, home mission secretary.
 The institutions represented cover wide area of territory, from as far west as Colorado to the Atlantic coast, and from as far north as Vir- ginia and and the Carolinas to south Florida. Their student bodies make up an army of young people number ing at least 25,000.
 It was to aid in the endowment and support of these institutions that the educational campaign for $33 000,0G0 was recently put on by the southern Methodist church J. H. Reynolds of Conway, director general of this cam paign, said yesterday that while the objective had not been reached, he is confident the amout necessary to at tain the goal will be pledged when the sessions of the annual conferences are held.
 Yesterdays meeting, however, did not deal with finances, save in an in- cidental fashion. Its purpose was to discuss how best to conduct a series of reyivals that shall be veritable soul-winning campaigns in every edu- catlonal institution of southern Meth odism. While no definite date is set for any of the revivals and this item is left to the presidents of the institu- tions to decide, it is planned to have all of them take place prior to the Christmas holidays in order that the effect of the religious awakening that is expected to follow may be felt early in the college year.
 Plans for making a marked success VI tIlISt iIlctIlflSS dIt mapped out, and the evangelsts and preachers who will conduct them were assigned Many of these eyangelists were pres ent yesterday and assisted in the con ference of the school and college pres idents and other educational workers.
 Thera were 75 present at yester- days three sessions, and a general 'l* uSslon was he q, both as to prelm- mary plans of work and methods best calculated to make a strong nd last ing appeal to students in the institu- tions where the revivals will be held
 One feature of the afternoon session th7t was indicative of the close tie that binds the clergy of the Methodist Church together was the adoption of resolutions on the death of Bishop W R. Lambuth, followed by heartfelt t"i'rteS naid to him by men who had known him well and worked with him for the church.
