GENERAL FARM FLOCK STILL
BACKBONE OF EGG


In spite of the growing importance
of the specialized poultry farm and
the commercial farm flock the gener-
the poultry and egg industry from
the standpoint of volume OF produc-
ton, according to Roy c. Potts, chief
poultry marketing specialist, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The farm flock is rather small in
size and is only small part in the
activity on the general farm, often
not being considered very import
ant part. But in the aggregate,
more than 80 per cent of the total
production of poultry and eggs comes
from just such fiocks. Because of
it's minor Importance the general
flock is likely to be subjected to some
neglect at times, to be less cared for
at all times, and to consist OF stock
that has not been highly improved.
Specialized poultry farming, how
ever, has been on the increase dur
ing the last six or seven years and
continues to become more and mere
important. Specialization is mainly
along the lines of egg produc-
ton. On specialized farms poultry
is the sole or main business and the
owner is dependent upon it almost
exclusively for his living, General
ly the most up-to-date methods are
employed, and the most improved
stock used.
The commercial farm flock, on the
other hand, is not an exclusive enter
prise on the farm but is one that is
given mere than usual attention in
management and breeding, The
poultry and egg crop of the eeuntry
is produced by these three primarily
different types of tiecks or farms,
the most important of which is still
the general farm flock.

By the maintenance of secrecy a

ty was able to develop II cases OF
the disease before the trouble be-
came known. Talbot had out
breaks, Somerset and Washington 4
each, Baltimore County 8, st. Mary's
County 2, Anne Arundel, Cecil, Har-
ford and Queen Anne / each,
Of the SO primary outbreaks, 81
were apparently due to infected pork
in garbage, table scraps, kitchen
swill, ETC., Four were due to the
purchase Of infected stock, and 1
was the result of loose hogs. In
cases, of which were of doubtful
diagnosis, no history could be obtain
ed on which to base the source of in
lection. The l secondary outbreak
was the result of permitting sick
hogs to run at large and come in
contact with we'll hogs.
On the premises where hog colera
was reported to exist during the
month, there were 3O5 hess wAen

FEED HAY FIRsTw.~THEN sILAGE

In general 1t makes little differ
ence in production what order OF
feeding is useG so long as the order
is practiced each day, But with
heavy milking cows that must con-
sumo large quantities of both silage
and legume hay, it is probably bet
ter to feed the hay first and then let
them fill up on silage; if silage is
fed first they will not eat enough of
the hay to furnish all the minerals
needed for milk production. To
prevent silage fiavors from getting
into the milk. the silage should be
fed just after rather than before or
during milking. Grain may be fed
either before or after the roughage.

Place of High Winds

In one of the narrow passes ON the
island of Oahu, Hawaiian islands, the
wind blows with such force that a
steel cable has been attached to the
rocks to afford a handhold for taupr
lists, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. Before it was installed, many
pedestrians had been blown off their
feet and one man killed. The portion
where the wind attains Its greatest
velocity is short. scarcely more than
so yards, and as the canyon widens
out beyond that the speed is much d.
minished. Winds at 80 and 60 miles
an hour are recorded almost daily at
the narrowest point.

the revolution.
Not only will the celebration, be
national in scope but international
as well, it is announced, for repre-
sentatives of the French and British
governments as we'll as high United
States officials will take part. The
idea of the observance originated
with the Bernhard F. Schlegel Post
of the American Legion.
Historians are now generally rec
ognizing the battle on the Brandy
olution and one of the chief factors
which finally resulted in the Ameri-
can victory. 1t was here that the
British army was prevented from
marching to Philadelphia directly by
way of Wilmington.
To coordinate the work of prepar-
alton being made by the federal gov
eminent, the states and considerable
number of communities, the Brandy
wine Memorial Association has been
organized with Former Governor
William c. Sproul, of Pennsylvania
as general chairman.
The program as outlined provides
for a three-day celebration, Sept. g.,
10 and IL. The events tentatively
arranged for include patriotric pill
grimage to historic spots in Della
ware and Pennsylvania, a subscrip
ton dinner at which many notables
Brandywine battlefield, historical
pageant and sham battle; church
services, exercises in public schools
and open-air meeting at Birming
ham meeting house.
Special honors will be paid the
trench where more than 500 Ameri-
can and British soldiers are buried
More than 60 acres of land on the
battlefield near Dilworthtown, on the
Wilmington and West Chester pike
will be used for the pageant and mil
itary demonstration.
Among the organizations which
are expected to take part are the
American Legion of Delaware, Mary
land and Pennsylvania, national
guard units of the three states, a
number of historic military organi-
cations, the Sons of the American
Revolution, historical societies, the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, service clubs, the Military Or
der of the World War, United States
soldiers, sailors and marines, units
of the air service of Pennsylvania
and the United States and various
other military and civic bodies.
