MARCH REPORT OF FARM EGG
RECORD CLUB

The monthly summaries of the
egg production from 175 poultry
farms in the State, representing 29,-
40 pullets, 1862 hens, and 1882
pullets and hens in mixed flocks, or
total of 1854 birds, are included
in the March report of the Delaware
Farm Egg Record Club which was
issued recently by H. S. Palmer, Ex-
tension Poultryman of the Univer-
sity of Delaware, and distributed to
the members of this club through
the offices of the county agricultural
agents.
Some of the main points in poul-
try management discussed in this
report were the proper methods of
heating and ventilating the brooder
houses and the measures to be fol-
lowed in keeping these houses in a
sanitary condition as a preventative
against the introduction and spread
of diseases among the young chicks.
Many poultry raisers surround the
hover in the brOOder house with
some kind of a guard as a means of
keeping the chicks close to the heat
for the first day or so, and this in
side circle can be made more COM
Portable for the baby chicks by COW
ering the floor with grain or fertiliz-
er sacks that have been ripped open.
These sacks should extend well un-
der the hover for about twelve or
fourteen inches, and out to the guard
which should be about two feet from
the edge of the hover.
On the tenth day all sand and
litter should be removed, and houses
which have dirt floors should have a
small amount of the dirt removed
from the surface to insure a more
sanitary condition for the chicks.
After the tenth day, the brooder
house should be cleaned at least ev-
cry FIVE days until the chicks have
learned tO. use perches. AS the days
become warmer, and the chicks be-
gin to get their feathers, many pOul-
trymen stop maintaining fire in the
brooder stoves, but it is a serious
mistake to follow this practice as it
may result in the chicks becoming
infested with colds and roup. Most
likely the chicks at this stage are
still roosting on the floor, and in
their efforts to keep warm at night,
they crowd together to such an eX-
tent that some of them become over
heated, while others are too cold.
The first indications of overcrowding
at night are the appearance of dirty
and worn wing and tail feathers.
In discussing the subject of broo-
der house ventilation, Mr.. Palmer
states that considerable damage is
frequently done to the growing
chicks by the failure on the part of
the operator to properly adjust the
ventilation so as to take care of the
wide range of temperature at differ
ent times during the. day. In order to
prevent the chicks from becoming
chilled during the night, or on cool
days, and getting overheated when
the outside temperature is high, it is
necessary that the windows or cur
tains be adjusted at least four times
a day-at night, early in the morn
ing, about or 10 o'clock in the fore
noon, and at or 4 o'clock in the
afternoon.

SEEDS
MOVE Is SLOW
Smaller Percentage Has Left
Hands of Growers Than at
Same Time Year Ago

Sweet clover seed movement has
been much slower than the rapid
movement of last year. The U. S.
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
estimates that 20-25 per cent Of the
crop had left the hands of growers
up to October 4, compared with IS
per cent last year and Is per cent
two years ago, and As per cent three
years ago.
Harvesting began later than last
year and was delayed to some ex-
tent by rains in some sections, espec-
tally in South Dakota and Kansas.
Growers have not sold freely at
prevailing prices and buyers have
not been SO active as year ago.
Movement has been greatest in
northeastern North Dakota, north
eastern South Dakota and southeast
ern Nebraska. In the heaviest pro-
ducing districts of the Dakotas and
Minnesota 20 to 80 per cent had
been sold by growers compared with
40 to so per cent last year.
Prices declined on an average soc
per 100 pounds during the past three
weeks. On October 4, prices in Is
districts or States averaged $50
per 100 pounds, basis clean seed
compared with $685. a year ago. In
the main producing sections Of Min
nesota and the Dakotas the average
was $3.50 compared with $3.50 three
weeks ago, $500 q year ago, and
$5.40 two years ago.
The quality Of the. crop was re-
ported fair to gotd in majority Of
districts, in spite Of damage by rain
and frost. In a few districts, par
ticularly western Colorado, south
central Montana, southeastern South
Dakota and southeastern Nebraska
re quality was reported good tc
very good.
Movement and price information
for North Dakota follows:
In eastern North Dakota 20 to 80
per cent Of the crop had left grow
ers' hands up to October 4, compared
with so to IS per cent last year at
a corresponding time. Movement
was irregular. In some sections but
little threshing hadsbeen done while
in others movement was well UNI
derway. Growers in general were
not selling freely at prevailing
prices. Growers were offered most
" $3.50 to IS per 100 pounds, basis
clean seed. Prices ranged from 81
to $3.50 and averaged $4.65 for the
State compared with $685. last year.

will take off on their 3,S0o.mile hop
for New Britain Island.
Their Oakland-to Melbourne route
will take them over the Marshall
islands and other Pacific groups
but they will not land on any of
chem unless forced to by mechanical
or other troubles.
When the plane leaves Bay Farm
Island, the municipal flying field
near Oakland. it will have the larg-
est crew aboard that has headed for
Hawaii sire the memorable attempt
Of the late Commander John Rodg-
ers. The seaplanes of his unsuc-
cessful expedition were manned by
five men. Only one plane in the re-
cent Dole flight carried as many as
three. This was the ill-fated entry
on which Miss Mildred Doran and
her two male companions went to
their death.
With slightly more than 1.400
gallons of gasoline, the Australian
plane will have capacity for a
calculated sustained flight of as
uOuIS, giving Il cruising margin VI
500 miles in excess of the distance
between Kauai Island, Hawaii and
New Guinea.
The jump to Hawaii. while con-
siderably shorter than the next span
of the itinerary, is regarded as the
more dangerous, first because of
the need for greater accuracy in
navigation to locate the island, and
second because weather Conditions
are likely to be more disturbed.

are prevalent, while in the South

MRS, GRAYS0N
LOOKS TOWARD
CAREER IN AIR
Ultimate Object of European
Hop Is Entry of Herself in
Commercial Aviation

New York. Get. 2O.-tP-Woman
will make a flying leap into the
realm of commercial aviation if the
transatlantic flight of Mrs. Frances
Wilson Grayson is successful.
Undeterred by the threat of au-
tumn weather on the Atlantic, Mrs.
Grayson, young American business
woman, blonde and blue-eyed, insists
that her flight will be made.
The ultimate object, she says, is
the entry of her partner, Mrs. Aage
Ancker, and herself into the field
of commercial flying. Already she
and Mrs. Ancker, wife of Danish
sportsman, have formed the Anck-
cr.Grayson Aircraft corporation to
demonstrate her faith in the feast
bility of transoccanic flying. Mrs.
Grayson says that she will fly
across herself first. Later, she
says, her corporation hopes to act
as selling agent for airplanes.
Plane Rushed 10 Completion
For this reason The Dawn"
giant twin-motored Sikorsky am
phibian plane, has sbeen rushed to
completion. Wilmer Stultz, vet
eran pilot, has been entrusted with
guiding the big machine when it
takes off from Old Orchid Beach,
Me. Bruce Goldsborough, naviga-
tor. and former chief radio oper-
ator in the navy, is the third men,
Der Of the crew.
Every effort has been made to
have 1.-THE Dawn" safe for ocean
flying. Propelled by two Wright
Whirlwind engines. it is capable of
taking off or alfynting on either
water or land. It is built to be
seaworthy, is equipped with radio
and is said to have q cruising ra-
dius Of 1000 miles.
Mrs. Grayson insists emphatic
ally that she has no intention of
making "foolha-dy" flight. In
the first place, she says, the flight
from the United States to Den
mark will not be a nonstop affair.
From Old Orchard, she explains,
she will fly in any direction that
opens the first safe channel to Eu-
rope, alighting at Newfoundland if
necessary or flying by way of the
Azores. She plans to land in Ire
land, England or France before
proceeding to Denmark.
Born IN Arkansas
Mrs. Grayson was born in a
Cherokee Indian village in Arkan-
sas, the daughter of Andrew Jack
son Wilson, a federal commissioner
of Indian affairs. She studied
voice culture at the Chicago Mu-
steal college, graduted from
Swarthmore, and in 1919 was mar
der to John Grady Gfays !, first
cousin of Rear Admiral Cary Gray
son. They were divorced in 1923
in Virginia on grounds of incom-
patibility.
Two years ago Mrs. Grayson en-
tered the real estate business. She
says she sold 100000 worth of
acreage and that having proved
her ability in that line she turned
to aviation.
Then followed the partnership
with Mrs. Ancker. She places their
expenditures thus far at $4,000 in
preparing for the flight and says
$4,000 more will be necessary.

READERS WANT
SPORTS NEWS
Wisconsin Publisher Defends
Papers Attitude Towards
Professional Sports

Chicago, Oct. 20.-(AP)-A de-
tense of the ..ttitude Of the newspa-
pers toward professional sports was
given here today by F. r. Starbuck,
Wisconsin state president Of the AS
ISOLATED Press and co-publisher of
the Racine Journal News, before
the Inland Press association. He
said that the attitude OF the public
toward the recent TunLey-Dempsey
bout proved that the masses are
interested in such affairs.
There is only one way to look at
this question" said Mr.. Starbuck.
1T is not what Me publisher wants,
but what the readers want. I be-
lieve the recent Tunney-Dempsey
fight proved conclusiveiy that the
masses are Interested in profession
al sport, for certainly here was a
contest that vas commercialized
srom start to finish. 1t might be
said, Of course, that If it were not
for the generous space given this
event the public interest would not
have been developed. But, after all,
j do not believe that the support of
the press was the main factor In
aroustng interest.
Many Are interested
Admitting my own non-attend-
ance at certain professional games,
that does hot mean / am not inter-
ested and / think the same thing
applies to many others. I know
many people who read the stock
market reports daily, but would
never think Of risking dollar. l
have never caught fish above four
pounds, but / can get q wonderful
kick out OF reading about the cap
ture OF gigantic sea bass or tar
pom.
1.-THE trouble with some Of us
newspaper men is that, realizing the
so-called commercials of profess
sional sports, we don't like the idea
Of giving up 50 much sspace to 9TH
ers without those In back Of It buy
ing some Of our advertising space.
That Is. to be true, a regretta3,le fac
tor. but are the publishers ready to
take q radical step in eliminating
much OF It, Just because the pro-
motors ignore our advertising col
umus!
Purveyor Of News
The press may have created =
frankenstein monster, but It Is here
.snd apparently cannot be destroyed.
I'VE can never get away from the
fact that the Newspaper ID the pur-
veyor Of news. That Is fundamen-
tai, and true, no matter how large
the publication or whore published.
We can dsprecate and assail the
tendency Of certain professional
sports a. much % We like editori-

FAVOR, BONDING TOWN

The special election held in Anchor age last week to determine the views of citizens on the question of bonding the city for the purpose of obtaining funds for the erection of a new school, resulted in the majority of votes be- ing cast in favor of the proposition, says the Anchorage Times.
