NEARLY 5000 voting precincts in
Texas, scattered over an area of
2s7. 900 square miles will make the
gathering Of election returns a pretty
big problem for the Texas Election
Bureau, Of which The Herald is 4
member.
But returns, which will be gath
cred ut Dallas. should be available at
around . o'clock, with perhaps a few
scattered votes being reported before
that hour.
Collingsworth county, far out in
the Staked Plains, usually is the first
to report. II has very few voters
and all the voters have voted and
scattered to their ranches long before
sundown.
The vote may total anywhere from
$4,000 TO 100000.
Up at the Dallas headquarters a
battery Of thirty adding machines
will clique away for hours.
The latest available returns will-be

BAKERY IS
FAIR, SAYS NELSON
BY J. W. NELSON

Secretary Bakery Workers Local
The opinion has prevailed among
some union friends that the Hoquialn
Bakery is unfair to organized labor.
This is an unjust assumption, and
steps should be taken to correct any
wrong that may have been aimed at
the bakery, as they signed our agree
nent on February Is, 1926.
t might be interesting to some Of
our members to know that our newly
elected president was present at 3
Central Council meeting two weeks
ago, and seemed to take an unusual
interest IN matters transacted during
the evening However, he was not
present last meeting night Cannot
account for his absence probably
weather conditions did not permit him
to venture out. But we believe that
he was inspired with the meeting he
attended two weeks ago, and expect

Turkey Hen Hunts Nest
Long Before She Laws

Long before she is ready TO lay, the
turkey hen goes nest hunting. She
steps lightly here and there, peering
into dark corners, into empty barrels
and boxes. When she is ready to lay
she goes direct to the nest she has
chosen, and settles down. If we want
our turkeys to lay in convenient places
near by where there can be no ques-
ton as to the ownership of the eggs,
then convenient nests for turkey hens
should be put out, and the hens al
lowed to find them.
When the turkey becomes broody,
like a chicken hen, she should be al
lowed to sit on the nest for two or
three days before she is given her
clutch of eggs While she is on her
term of probation, dust her with so
dunn f1uoride under each wing around
the thigh joint, over the back, under
the body and around the vent
Do not give her too many eggs.
From fifteen to twenty are enough.
Chicken hens are inquisitive crea-
lures. If the turkey nest is within
reach Of their prowlings, they will
disturb her; II necessary to shut the
turkey hen In, she should be released
at the same time, preferably in the
evening, for food and exercise. The
period of incubation is twenty eight
days. Fresh eggs will pip a little ear
lier than the older eggs.

Various Kinds of Green
Feeds Good for Poultry

Good kinds of green feeds are
sprouted oats, alfalfa meal, chopped
alfalfa and clover hay, cabbages and
mangel beets. In ordinary cellars
cabbages do not keep so well as man
gel beets, so they should be used up
first. Cabbages may be hung up in
the poultry house; the beets are usu
ally split and stuck on a nail In the
side wall of the pen about a foot above
the ground. Vegetables which have
been frozen can be thawed out and
fed to fowls, but do not keep well
after thawing. Clover and alfalfa
may be fed as hay, cut into one-quar-
ter or one-half-inch lengths, or they
may be bought In the form Of meal.
Oats and barley for sprouting are
soaked overnight in warm water and
then spread out from one-half to one
inch thick ON trays having perforated
bottoms and put into an oat sprouter.
Water the oats thoroughly and turn
the trays around once daily to pro-
mote even sprouting. Artificial heat
should be supplied In cool weather by
the use of a kerosene lamp or by some
other means. Use good grade of
oats and allow square inch of sprout-
ed oats surface per hen daily, feeding
these sprouted oats on the floor of
the poultry house or In the yard. Feed
the sprouted grain at any time after
sprouting.
