BY G. F FINE
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, March %. U.P)-
Federal forces defending the i'm
portant Pacific seaport of Mazat-
Ian were successful for second
time late yesterday in repulsing an
attack by rebel troops, it was Off
cially announced here today.
General Jaime Carrillo, in COM
mand of the fcdorals at Mazatlan,
reported that column of between
100 and 300 rebel cavalry approach
cd Nenadillo, mile from Mazatlan,
but were driven back by machine
gun fire.
All reports yesterday that Mazat-
Ian had fallen were attributed by
the government to rebel radio broad
casters, who announced that Puebla
only 90 miles from the capital, had
capltulated and President Portcs Gil
had fled.
That the rebels of the west coast
believe Guadlajara to be in posses
sion of twenty thousand 'Cristc
ros,' or religious troops, was reveal.
ed by Lieutenant Alfonzo Herman
dcz Dufo, who deserted the rebels
and joined the fedprals at Mazatlan,
Dufo said that the rebels he en-
countered had no knowledge of the
insurgent defeats at Vera Cruz and
elsewhere.

Save Our Forests

Save Our Forests
It is to be regretted that the for
ests of Sussex County are fast pass
ing away. The beautiful sight of the
massive oak, maple, gum and other
growing trees, will soon be a thing
of the past. There are only a few
tracts of timber left, and they are in
the hands of owners who refuse to
sell at any price; but they are we'll
advanced in years and will soon
pass over to others.
The ownership of these lands as
soon as this occurs will start to
realize the money from growing
trees, and then the AK of the wood
cutters will soon destroy every YES
tige of our forests; which was such
beauty to look upon; leaving instead
acres upon acres of brush land,
which is so repulsive to the human
eye.
The question is, cannot something
he done to stay the onward move
ment of the destroying forces, which
are bent on laying waste to that
which we have for so many years
kept from the despoiler hands.
One way would be to have some OF
our very rich men purchase these
lands as soon as they are offered for
sale, and give a good and sufficient
title to the State, with provision
that they are never to be sold; but
remain the property of Delaware for
all time to come.
Another way to restock the forests
of the State is, for all who are able
to purchase the brush and other
cheap land, in the different counties
and reset them in trees suitable to
the locality in which they are to be
grown.
What a fine thing it would be If
the young men of the present day
would use some of the money which
they spent for useless things and IN
vest the same in some of the cheap
lands of Sussex County. These young
men may not be able to buy heavily
of such lands but they may be IN a
position to purchase five or ten acres
of this kind of real estate. Let them
set this acquired land in trees;
which the State Of Delaware offers
for the asking; the only provision is,
that those who accept the trees,
must look after and care for them.
We are very much of the opinion
that those who took advantage of
this liberal offer by the State, will
be not only the means of helping to
restock the forests Of Delaware, but
will lay the foundation Of what will
be in the future yield to the owners
a golden harvest.

suits are fairly certain. 1t is always
a gamble, however, to brood young
poults with such temperamental
creatures as turkey hens.
A brooder house on skids is ideal
as it can be moved about to fresh
ground from time to time. Stake of
four temporary runs, one on each
side of the house, and rotate the
poults from one run to the other
Leave them about a week in each
run. Between 200 and 800 poults
can be accommodated in a II IA
brooder house. For heat, use hard
coal stove or any other heating ar
rangement that will maintain an
even temperature of about 80 de-
grees.
When poults are about 8 weeks
old they may be transferred to rear
ing grounds, about an acre being set
aside for each $50 to 200 poults.
These grounds should be where
chickens have not been allowed to
run and should be fenced so chick
ems cannot get in with the poults.
Feed nothing the first "a to SO
hours; Sc to 48 hours, short grass
on the sod, tender greens and butter
milk or sour skim-milk; 4S to 60
hours, feed eggs boiled for 80 min
utes mixed with equal quantity of
dry, stale (never mouldy) bread
crumbs. Feed this every two hours,
removing it in 20 minutes. On the
third day feed as on the second and
continue same diet on the day fol-
lowing with addition of mash COM
posed of finely ground cornmeal.
wheat bran, wheat middlings and
beef scraps in equal parts by weight,
or a baby chick starter commercial
mash may be fed instead. Feed the
mash in hoppers with plenty of
green stuff always available. Con-
tinue this mash feed with plenty Of
greens at all times. From day to
day feed a little scratch grains,
gradually increasing the quantity.
Scratch grains should be given spar
ingly, however, as young turkeys do
not require a great deal of such
feed. See that a good supply of
fresh clean water is always near by.
Never allow poults to drink from
stagnant pools.
When poults are about 8 weeks
old, shift to rearing grounds If
weather permits, and put on follow
ing ration: Equal parts of corn meal,
ground oats, wheat middlings, wheat
bran and beef scraps fed in hoppers.
Give birds plenty of skim-milk to
drink. Keep shell and grit before
them at all times and never stint on
fresh green stuff of suitable kinds:
My experiments prove that baby tur-
keys can be successfully raised on
feeds that are successfully fed to-
baby chicks. If your present meth
cd of raising your baby chicks is
successful, use the same method
with your baby turkeys which should
be successful also.
Finally, enlarge your runs from
time to time and keep moving flock
if possible to provide fresh feeding
grounds.
