ticular group Of farmers throughout
the entire state. Poultrymen from
the northern states tell US that we are
just beginning to experience some Of
the troubles that always occur sooner
or later in sections where poultry is
reared in large numbers, and they also
inform US that if the Delaware poul-
try farmers expect to stay in the bus
mess, they will have to give more at
tention to the prevention Of diseases
BY sanitary practices.
Accurate records kept by nine good
poultrymen in the state last year
showed that up to six months of age
an average Of 20.7 percent of their
chicks died, and the best record show
ed a loss of 81 percent, while the
poorest record indicated loss as high
as 34.5 percent. Taking these figures
Smyrna times., 1928-02-29

into consideration in regard to the
mortality on nine of the best poultry
farms, it is only reasonable to assume
that the average loss of baby chicks
in the state as a whole will range
from 35 to 40 percent, as in some in
stances this loss has been as great as
so to rs percent. Apparently the most
of these losses were caused by weak
chicks, coccidiosis, and worms, and
due to the adverse weather conditions
last spring, the coccidiosis and worms
were more severe than usual.
In view of these existing conditions,
the Poultry Specialist of the Univers-
ity of Delaware, in cooperation with
the county agricultural lagents, will
arrange to conduct a number Of dem
onstrations in the state this coming
year to show how to grow healthy
chicks. The first stepto be taken in
starting this project will be to solicit
the cooperation Of twenty-five or thir-
ty poultrymen who are interested
enough in this type of work to keep
complete records on their growing
stock and follow a special grow
healthy chick program throughout the
season. These poultry raisers will be
requested to observe the following
suggestions and practices which have
been adopted by the poultry farmers
IN Connecticut as a means for reduc-
ing their baby chick losses during the
past two years: ID Start with chicks
that are free from disease, ~ Thor
oughly clean and disinfect all incu-
bators and brooder houses, 81 Avoid
ground that is infested, (4) Keep the
litter clean and dry by changing it
frequently, (5) Use only clean feed,
90 Have fresh and sanitary drinking
water before the chicks at all times,
~ Practice sanitary management by
keeping the premises clean and avoid
going from the laying houses to
where the chicks are being kept, and,
(8) Clean and disinfect the laying
houses several days previous to plac-
ing the pullets in them for the winter.
In addition to the mimeographed
circular which each poultry farmer in
the state will receive, thede was also
enclosed two small cards on which
have ben printed the above sugges-
tions and information in regard to the
growing of better chicks. One Of
these cards is to be placed in the
brooder house where an accurate rec
ord may be kept concerning the NOR
tality of the baby chicks and the caus-
es of the losses
Those poultry raisers in the county
who have not ben receiving the litera-
ture which is being mailed from the
county extension office at timely inter
get in touch with the County Agent
or the Poultry Specialist, as it is the
desire of the extension department
that his information be placed in the
hands Of all the poultrymen in the
state.

Girls Lose But Two Games

The girls team is captained by Miss
Clara Elterich and has made quite
record losing but two games, one to
Beacon and one to Caesar Rodney.
The forward posts are held by
"Ann" Greenwell and "Dot" Riggs.
Both Of these girls are exceptionally
good shots registering field goals
from all positions on the floor. 1t is
upon these two forwards that the
scoring burden of the team has rested
and they have carried this burden in
a splendid manner. Greenwell will be
lost to the team this year through
graduation, while Riggs remains with
the team another year
The center and side-center positions
are held by Helen McWhorter and
Marion Heinold, respectively. Al
though this is McWhorter's first year
in basketball, she has developed into
a player that would prove an asset to
any team. Heinold has ben mem.
Der of the squal for several years and
this year as all others she has played
a steady game. Captain Elterich and

The Smyrna High School boys bas-

Captain Walter Donovan and coached
by Mr. Wright of the High School
Commercial Department has brought
to close its 1927-28 basketball sea
son. The breaks for Smyrna boys
this year have not been any too good,
but in all contests, the Smyrna team
has given a good account of itself. The
most outstanding feature of the en-
tire season was the decisive victory
over Dover High School, rivals on the
south. After a hard fight, and with
every member of the team putting his
"all" into the game the locals finish
ed the game on the long end. This is
the first time in the history of basket
ball at Smyrna High that they have
defeated Dover, and for that reason.
it is looked upon as one Of the sue
cesses Of the season.
Captain Donovan has proven him
self a capable leader, carrying his
share Of the burden Of each game
upon his shoulders in a ''never say
quit" manner. Donovan is an excep-
tionally good shot, shooting from all
angles Of the floor woth marked sue
cess. 1t is with regret that Donovan
will be lost to the team this year, but
however, he carries with him the good
wishes of the entire squad for his
athletic successes.
As his running mate Donovan has
been paired with Moffett. Although
reporting late, Moffett has been a
great help to the team. He is a real
fighter, and possesses those qualities
which make one basketball player.
He also will be lost to the team by
graduation.
Fred Lamb and Arthur Stotesbury
are two centers Of great ability. Due
to his shooting ability Lamb pushed
Stotesbury from his center position,
but nevertheless Stotesbury stands
ready whenever there is need to take
his place with the team. Both of
these players have plenty of time to
ripen into well-seasoned basketball
players and Smyrna looks for them to
be stars of the years to come.
The guard positions are held down
by Shapley and Stats. Among the
substitutes are Wilds, Pinder, Speak
man, and Lynch.

THE remarkable performance of the new
Ford is the direct result of the quality that
has been built into every part.
1t has beauty of line and color because
beauty of line and color has come to be
considered a necessity in a motor car.
Yet even more important than this out
side beauty is the strength, efficiency and
beauty of those parts which are on the
inside-those vital mechanical parts which
are the very heart of value and perform
ance. 1t is well TO look TO this mechanical
beauty when you buy an automobile.
Instantly you examine the body con-
struction of the new Ford, its engine, its
transmission, its oiling, cooling and ignition
systems, you will understand some of the
reasons for its speed, safety, comfort, quiet,
reliability and economy of operation and
upkecp.
An example of the quality that is built
into the new Ford is the use of steel forg-
ings instead Of malIcable castings and steel

stampings. They are used throughout the
chassis, except, of course, for the engine
castings.
More steel forgings, in fact, are used in
the new Ford than in almost any other car
regardless of price.
Just what this means TO every mOtOrist
is shown in the strength of the forged-steel
spring perches alone. They will withstand
$4,000 pounds pressure before indicating
permanent change in their structure.
Added strength, quiet and reliability also
come from the number of electric weddings
used in the new Ford. BY the use of these
weddings, one-piece parts of great strength
replace those formerly made up of several
parts bolted, riveted or soldered together.
The perfeCting of electric welding ma
chimes to do this work was the result of
ten years of constant experimenting in
shop and laboratory.
Some of the other features which show
the strength and quality that have been
built into the new Ford car are the
steel bodies; the carbon chrome nickel
alloy valves; the fve-bearing Camshaft;
the heavy crankshaft which is statically
and Dramatically balanced and built to
withstand twisting stress up to 90, 900
inch pounds; the aluminium pistons
which were selected because of their
light weight and heat-conducting quail
tics the new pump, splash and gravity
oil system; the standard gear shift with
bronze, ball and roller bearings; the new
battery, coil and distributor ignition;
the low center of gravity and minimum
inspiring weight which combine with
the Houdaillc hydraulic shock absorbers

and the new transverse springs to make the

pick shatter-proof glass windshield; the
new steering gear which prevents road
shocks from being transmitted to the hands
of the driver and is unusually strong be-
cause the column and the housing of the
steering gear mechanism are welded into
