URGE COOPERATION
IN VICE SITUATION
Social Hygiene Group Sug-
gestS Conferences Between
Police and Prosecutors.

Although there is less vice in Wash
ington than in most American cities,
conditions south of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. near the Capitol are unsatisfac-
tory, according to report Of the Amer
lean Social Hygiene Association made
public today.
Analysing the reasons for the large
number of disorderly houses occupied
by colored women in the Southeast and
port urges a closer cooperation be-
tween police and prosecuting officials
to suppress this form of vice.
A study OF the records revealed 81
arrests for offenseS of this nature in
September. 1928, whereas only IA of
the cases were convicted and punished.
Urges Closer Corporation.
cit is believed, however, that the high
percentage of disorderly house cases
nolle pressed can be reduced II a con-
ference is held between the superintend-
ent of police and the prosecuting attor-
ney to bring about closer cooperation
between these two departments" the
report states.
More extensive use of the injunction
and abatement laws is suggested as a
means of curbing the evil.
Every encouragement and assistance
advocated. This was urged particularly
taken such work 1t was pointed out
the local Hygiene Society could aid by
encouraging other groups to initiate
such teachings.
Other steps urged were the establish
ment of a Misunderstanding course in
one of the large universities, circulation
of appropriate literature. and the en-
ployment of available speakers to dis
seminate for the benefit of the general
public information on social hygiene
matters.
Make Protective Suggestions.
In the field Of legal and protective
measures, the following suggestions were
made:
That more attention be paid to the
play needs of children, the provision of
more adequate facilities to care for
children infected with social diseases in
clinics. hospitals. public schools and
children's institutions. and the intro
duction If possible in the public schools
of physical examinations calculated to
discover the existence of such diseases.
1t was pointed out that, while such
examinations might meet with some
opposition, they would be of incalcula-
BILE benefit in aiding children already
afn1cted and safeguarding other chill
dren.
Under satisfactory conditions, it was
said, it would be rarely that a child
would need to be excluded from school
more than a year.
WOmen'S Bureau Praised
PraiSing the work being done in pre-
natal care by the Health Department
clinics, the report urged that the scope
OF this work be enlarged.
Compared to other cities, the report
stated, Washington is exceptionally
free of quack doctors.
The report contained a word of
praise for the local Woman's Bureau
of the Police Department, describing it
as one of the best organized and adj
miniStered in the country
Passage by Congress of the bill now

Cut Out Low Producer;
No Place in Dairy Herd

Dairymen could speed the recovery
ducers from their herds. according to
q. S. Rhode. University of Illinois.
Willie it is true that large part of
the loss of price for dairy products is
due to lack of consumption, not over
production, Rhode states there are
more than enough cows to supply the
normal demand.
With butterfat at 40 cents a pound,
the average COW in the state made $50
above cost of feed in 1929. according TO
the colleges records Of dairy herd i'm
provement associations. With butter
fat as low as so cents a pound this
same cow would return but 50 a year
above cost of feed.
"Butterfat would have to sell at ap-
proximately SO cents pound for the
average COW to make as much return
above cost of feed as would be made
by cows producing $40 pounds of but
terfat selling at 80 cents a pound
1.-The dairy situation in general as
well as individual efficiency could be
improved if more farmers took their
cue from a DeKalb county dairyman.
He culled out six of his low producers
and thereby increased his monthly
herd average from 29.7 pounds of but
terfat to 41.2 pounds. saved feed and
increased his net returns. In addition
he kept off the market some milk and
cream which were produced at rela-
lively high cost by inefficient cows"

PROVIDE NOW FOR
GRAZING IN SPRING
How Good Pasture May Be
Saved From Ruin.

Cows will easily ruin a good pasture
if turned on it too early in the spring
while the soil is soaked with mois-
ture. Early spring grass lacks de-
sirable nutritive qualities, and usual
ly the barns are emptied of the be
legume hay by early March.
Therefore" says John A. Arey,
dairy extension specialist at the No
Carolina state college, ''the wise thing
to do is to make provision for a sup
ply of early grazing next spring. When
COW has passed the winter largely
on dry feed, she Graves appetizing.
succulent feed such as may be got
from good temporary pasture. Sue
grazing is appetiZing, is nutritious.
and is one of the most ~'oal
feeds that any dairyman can pro-
vide. By providing temporary grazing
for March and for as much of April
as will be needed. the cows may be
kept off the permanent pasture until
the grass has made good growth and
the soil is so dry that the sod will
not be ruined by trampling"
Mr.. Arey finds that the supply of
home grown roughage is about ex-
hausted on March 1, especially on those
farms where only a few cows are
kept for cream production. These
cows are therefore turned on the pas
ture when the hay gives out regard
less of the condition of the Sc, or
the growth of the grasses. This usual
iy results in damage to the pasture
and little good to he cows.
A good forage crop mixture to plant
in the fall consists of one-half bushel
of Abruzzi rye; one-half bushel of
beardless wheat; one bushel of Nor
ton oats; one bushel Of beardless bar
ley, and ten pounds of crimson clover
or fifteen pounds of hairy vetch. This
amount will plant one acre.

GOOD IDEA TO CUT
OUT POORER HENS
Why Keep Non-Producers
in the Flock?

1t is economical management to go
over the flock frequently for the pur-
pose of removing. the hens which show
signs of having ceased production
The feed consumed might be put TO
more profitable use if fed to the young
stock in order that the birds going on
the market may be well finished and
the pullets properly developed and in
the best of shape to produce heavily
during the winter months. when new
laid eggs command profitable price
When culling, each hen must be ex-
amined carefully. The head furnishes
valuable indications in picking the
high layers. The long. crow-headed
individual, or the bird with the flesh
of the face in wrinkles and the eye
brows overhanging, is seldom a good
producer. The high producer has a
comb which is bright red. with a soft
waxy texture, as opposed 10 dull.
dried, and withered appearance. The
face is clean-cut rather than beefy;
the eye is bright and prominent rather
than dull and small
The abdomen of the producer is soft
and pliable The keel is forced down.
away from the pelvic arch, and the
pelvic bones, sometimes called the
clay" bones. are thin and wide apart.
A shrunken abdomen with pelvic bones
covered with fat, indicates slow pro-
ductiOn, or none at all.
A laying fowl uses up the surplus
fat in the body, and. in the case of the
birds of the yellow-skinned varieties,
the rate at which the fat is used can
be determined by the fading of the
yellow pigment from the vent, eye
ring, ear lobes, beak and shanks. in
the order named. AT this season. these
parts on the heavy producer are usual
ly bleached white. When a bird ceases
production, the yellow pigment returns
rapidly in the same order as ii left
The best layers generally mott in De-
tober or November, when they shed
their feathers much more rapidly and
grow them in more quickly than the
early molter.

Give Chicks Feed SPACE

Now that the chicks are here and
we want to see that they grow and
get fair deal, it is important that
there be enough hopper room to allow
all chicks space to feed at all times.
Not one brooder house In 80 has
enough hopper space to give the chicks
the right kind Of start and to give
them chance to grow satisfactorily.
Seven feet of hopper space is needed
for each hundred chicks. Less than
this will cause slow growth and NOR
tality.-Exchange.

How He Gets Winter Eggs

The best way to get high produc-
ing flock Of hens is to use as breed
ers only hens that show a capacity
for continued production. R. T. Tarl-
ton, Ellis county, Texas. says. For
several years. Mr.. Tarlton says he has
used for breeders only hens thar con-
tinued in 20 per cent production up
to September 1. He has been able TO
get from these hens puIlets which
average 20 per cent production in the
winter months when egg prices are
highest.-Capper's Farmer.
