No Territorial Rights.
BY John Il. EOSIER

copyright. 1923, by The San Antonio Light
New York, Jan. 10.-SOme of the
major league folks have just awakened
TO the fact that the most recent agree
ment which they have drawn up be.
tween them has not got a word in it
about territorial rights. The old agree
| ment provided that in cases where there
were two major league clubs within a
five-mile radius one could veto certain
proposed actions by the other. Appar-
entity some Of the American League
clubs have thought that they still could
do that same thing.
However, the new agreement simply
says that the eight cities which now
comprise each league should continue
10 constitute that leagc That left each
club in the same CITY totally indie.
Tendent so far as control Of its actions
by the other was coACCrnCd. It is
tine that some actions must be sub
mitted to the league of which the club
10 question is part. but they do not
have to be submitted TO the club of the
other league in the same city any long
err. There is no rule that because one
club is within five miles of another It
crnnot run its own ground as it
in the matter of games. however. il
is provided that CLUES cannot change
them unless the presidents Of the two
leagues give them the right TO do So.
Tie Giants seem TO have sized up this
situation and if the wish TO gather in
as many games as possible on dates
when the Nanks also play in New York
and can get permission of the big league
bosses, there is nothing in the agree
ment which gives the YankS the right TO
stop them.
Whatever the debate. conditions arc
not exactly coming to the point of war
in the major leagues this year or next,
although the exhibit of brotherly love is
not as prominent rs IL was.
Ban JohnsOn's announcement that
there would be no conflicting games
scheduled in New York City, does a.
&c counter TO the most recent agr.,-
ment for if the Giants. for instance. ask
ed that they be allowed Ia play off
postponed game some Sunday and the
presidents Of the two big leagues should
say 90 ahead, all the protests in the
world from the Gank management
would have no effect.

THE POULTRY SITUATION
IN SALEM COUNTY

A statement given out by the Sec
retary of the u. S. ID. A. at Washing
ton shows that poultry is one of the
farm commodities that still possess a
good margin of profit. Salem County
has just as good opportunities for the
development of the poultry industry as
any other part of the country. With
a few exceptions, the land is well
drained and the winter is mild enough
for the poultry man to expect high
winter egg production. A commercial
poultry-man near Elmer has about II
90 S. c. White Leghorn pullets which
have kept we'll above the go percent
mark during November and December
when the price for egs is highest.
While everyone cannot expect to equal
a record like this, there are few fun
damentals which, if followed, would
help the poultry-farmer tremendously.
The housing conditions must be i'm
proved in poultry-raising just as the
modern dairy barn is being improved.
More light, less draft, more space per
bird, roosts not over 3 feet from the
floor, and a floor made of boards or
concrete or a well drained sandy soil,
are important things to remember in
the housing of poultry.
1t is natural for poultry to lay eggs
during the winter months and either
corn, whole or cracked wheat and oats
or all three together will not suffice as
poultry feed for egg production IN
the winter. Wheat bran, wheat mid
dlings, ground oats, corn meal and
meat scraps in equal parts by weight
must be fed to poultry during the win
ter months with the whole grain. Corn
and wheat should be fed to encourage
exercise ard these two grains furnish
the material for keeping the body
warm, but taken alone they do not
contain the material for the formation
of the egg.
The County Club Agent is making
plans to start as many boys and girls
in the Poultry Club project this spring
as are interested in the work. 1t is
important that good stock be secured
at the out set just as it is desirable
to use calves from registered cows in
the Calf Club. While individual reg
istry cannot be carried on in poultry
in the same way as in dairy work, it
is still of great Importance to know
something of the breeding and egg lay
ing potency behind certain strain of
poultry.
We have very few pure-bred flocks
in this county. Mongrel fiocks are
not paying proposition from the
standpoint of egg production and
people should not be encouraged to
breed chickens and these should be
kept within the breed characteristics.
For information in REGARD to the
place where purebred poultry can he
purchased at a reasonable price. get m
touch with the Poultry Department at
New Brunswick or the Club or County
AGENT in Salem.

WE WE'RE BOYS TOGETHER
Fred J. Goggin
County Club gem

We were boys together,
And never can forget
The school-house near the heather,
In childhood, where we met;
The humble home to memory dear,
Its sorrows and its joys;
Where woke the transient smile or
tear,
When you and were boys.
We were youths together,
And castles built in air;
Your heart was like feather,
And mine weighed down with care;
To you came wealth with manhoods
prime,
To me it brought alloys
Foreshadow in the primrose time,
When you and were boys.
We're old men together;
The friends we loved of yore,
With leaves of autumn weather,
Are gone for evermore.
How blest the age to impulse given,
The hope time ne'er destroys,
Which led our thoughts from earth to
heaven
When you and 7 were boys!
