KENT IS ALLOWED Is
FOR TRAINING CAMP
[Continue4 from frst taqel

Outlining the aims and benefits of
the C. NJ. T. Camps, Mr.. Schantz de-
clared that the military feature of
the training is by no means the out
standing factor. The chief purpose,
he said, is to develop the youth of
the nation by bringing together
young men of high ideals from all
walks of life on a common basis of
equality and under the most health
full conditions of outdoor life. To
teach them the privileges, duties and
responsibilities of American citizen
ship and to improve them mentally,
morally and physically are the real
basic aims of the government in
conducting the camps.
Admission is open to any young
men between seventeen and twenty
four years who is of good moral
character and sound physique.
There is no obligation for future
military service. All necessary ex-
penses, such as railroad fare to
camp and return, food, uniforms,
athletic equipment, and laundry,
are paid by the government.
Sports play an important part in
the 80 days training, the c. M. T. c.
chairman explained. Many athletic
coaches of, national fame who are
reserve officers are called to duty
to help in the sports programs, and
West Pointers with athletic records
direct the training. Many of the
camps have swimming facilities, and
the students are given expert SUI
pervision and protection during
water sports.
Opening of the first c. NJ. T.
Camps for which local youths are
eligible has been set for July 2,
when a Basic and Infantry camp
will start at Plattsburg and Fort
Niagara, N. Y. An advanced camp
for Cavalry students will open July
) at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt. All will
run for 80 days.
During August FIVE other c. NJ. T.
Camps will be in operation. These
are Basic and Infantry camps at
Plattsburg, N. Y, and Fort dupont,
Del: Coast Artillery camp at Fort
Hancock, N. j.; Radio and Signal
Corps camp at Fort Monmouth, N.
J., and Field Artillery camp at
Madison Barracks, n. Y.

GROW HEALTHY CHICKS
CAMPAIGN In STATE
[Continued from frst taael

reasonable to assume that the aver
age loss of baby chicks in the state
as whole will range from 35 to 40
per cent, as in some instances this
loss has been as great as so to rs
per cent Apparently the most OF
these losses were caused by weak
chicks, coccidiosis, and worms, and
due to the adverse weather condi-
tions last spring, the cOccidiosls and
worms were more. severe than usual.
In view of these existing condi-
tions, the poultry specialist of the
University of Delaware, in co-opera-
ton with the county agricultural
agents, will arrange to conduct a
number of demonstrations in the
state this coming year TO show how
to grow healthy chicks. The first
step to be taken in starting this pro-
ject will be, to solicit the co-opera-
ton of twenty-five or thirty poultry
men 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 re-
quested to observe the following
suggestions and practices which
have been adopted by the poultry
farmers in Connecticut as a means
for reducing their baby chick Losses
during the past two years: % Start
with chicks that are free from dis
ease 10Y Thoroughly clean and dis
infect all incubators and 5rooder
houses, (3) Avoid ground that is IN
tested, ca Keep the litter clean ana
dry by changing it frequently, t5)
Use only clean feed, 60 Have lresh
and sanitary drinking water before
the chicks at all times, CD Practice
sanitary management by keeping the
premises clean and avoid going from
the laying houses to where the
chicks are being kept, and, 90 Clean
and disinfect the laying houses sew
eral days previous to placing the
pullets in them for the winter. i
In addition to the mimeographeu
circular which each poultry FARMER
in the state will receive, there was
also enclosed two small cards on
which have been printed the above
suggestions and information in re-
gard to the growing of better chicks.
One of these cards is to be placed IN
the brooder house where an accurate
record may be kept concerning the
mortality of the baby chicks and the
causes of the losses.
Those poultry raisers in the coun-
ty who have not been receiving the
literature which is being mailed
from the county extension Office at
timely intervals during the year are
requested to get in touch with the
County Agent or the Poultry Special
list. as it is the desire of the extern J
sion department that this informa-
ton be placed in the hands of all the I
poultrymen in the state.

TO NEW RECORD
Thunder Johnson Screw
Through Air 80 Times in
Sickening Stunt

St. Paul, Municipal Airport, June
30.-F-Thunder johnson, young
st. Paul aviator, more than tripled
the unofficial worlds record for con-
tinuous "barrel rolling" over the St.
Paul airport when he A1igkted at
LAS o'clock Friday afternoon, with
80 rolls" Officially recorded.
He broke the record of 26 rolls,
set unofficially by C. D. Custer over
March field, California, in 1919.
A BARREL roll' is 4 maneuver in
which a plane passes through the air
with a screw-like motion meanwhile
continuing its forward flight. It
turns over on its back and continues
turning on its longitudinal axis until
it is right side up again.
Veteran rilots at the airport de-
clared that the maneuver is the
most sickening stunt known to avi-
alton.
johnson was groggy when he
landed but recovered quickly. He
used q Curtiss OK 5, 80 horsepower
machine in setting the record.
