cold that the growth Of the grass mas

been set this spring. This is u paying
crop for Broadkill hundred ana the lar-
mers are awaking to the fact that this
crop affords money early in the year

Many chicken raisers are complaining
of the death of a great number OF
chicks with white diarrhea. 1t is be
lieved that the demand for young
chicks has caused commercial hatchers
TO get eggs from fiocks that have not
been tested thoroughly. AS many as
fiftv per cent of the chicks have been
lost by some growers while others nave
lost more and some less. 1t is a sewers
blow to the egg industry in this sec
tion and will mean that local growers
will in the future deal only with re-
liable hatchers that will guarantee the
chicks free from this deadly disease
