w. Vernon Steen produces Supervis-
ed-Tested chicks of the Barred Ply
mouth Rock and S. C.. White Leg
horn breeds. Besides ia flocks sup
plying these three hatcheries, the
following poultrymen own Super
vised-Tested focks: E. D. Carey OF
Bridgeville; Marshall Derby, OF
Woodside, and J. C. LOockerman OF
Greenwood.
Flocks which fulfill all the re-
quirements of Supervised-Tested
Flocks and are mated to wing band
ed pedigreed males, whose dams laid
two hundred or more eggs in one
year in trapnests, are known as
Certified Tested Flocks. The hatch
cries of Charles E. Grove of Milford
and the Cedar View Poultry Farm of
Bridgeville, use eggs from Certified
Tested flocks and are classified as
Certified-Tested Hatcheries. The
hatchery of Charles E. Grove pro-
duces Certified-Te chicks of the

The rules and regulations of the
plan of Poultry Standardization are
included in the bulletin containing

ed in a fumigated incubator, and
sent out in new shipping box.

MAIL BOXES BECOME GHOSTLY

Fantastic rural mail boxes are
now taboo. Besides, the United
States Post Office Department has
said, in effect, that boxes may be
painted any color, just so long as
it is white. In other words, Uncle
Sam says the mail boxes that stud
rural highways and roads must be
white and nothing but white. That's
that! While, of course, uniformity
of color is a primary purpose
sought, it seems likely that greater
visibility, both by day and by night,
is also a consideration. The postal
authorities having spoken, the pros
pect is for plenty Of exercise for
paint brushes.
