FARM A.
POULTRY
SANITARY RANGE
NEEDED FOR EGGS
Green Feed and Some Shell
ter Help Pullets.

A sanitary ranging around with
a plentiful supply of green feed
and some kind of shelter is needed
for pullets to grow into well de-
veloped hens that lay well in early
fall.
After removing the cockerels
from the flock as soon as the sex
can be determined, the pullets
should be placed on a good range"
advises n. w. Williams, poultry
man of North Carolina State col
lege. Usually the growing birds
should be placed on this range
when from ten to twelve weeks of
age. Not over 300 birds should be
placed on one acre of land. A
good shelter is needed, as birds
suffer from heat more than most
poultrymen realize. The most eco
nomical house or shelter that can
be built is a frame structure with an
even span top. This provides good
ventilation, furnishes a shade and
protects the birds from heavy rains
and other unfavorable weather con-
ditiOnS."
Mr. Williams says the birds will
not forage very far from shelter
If conditions on the range are ia
yorable. This means that the shell
ter should be built so that 1t might
be moved from time to time onto
fresh ground and pasture. If there
is not some natural shade in the
range, this might be provided by
frame covered with tow bags to
shield the birds from the midday
sun.
Do not feed the birds with
heavy protein ration so as to force
them into lay before the body has
been fully developed under range
conditions, cautions Mr.. Williams.
Small, under-developed pullets do
not have the reserve body strength
that the large, well grown mature
pullets have, he says, and there
fore are not as good breeders and
layers. He also suggests keep
ing the mash before the birds at
all times and a good grain feeding
at night. Water is also important
to range stock when the weather
is warm and the birds consume
great quantities.
The Coolidge examiner., 1931-07-10
Best Turkey Finishing
Requires Small Range

An old barn or a shed makes an
ideal place for finishing turkeys for
the market, according to the North
Dakota Agricultural college. 1t is
advisable to restrict the range, and
when turkeys are grown under arti-
fetal methods they may be success
fully finished under moderate con-
finement If they have enough room
for exercise.
Corn is generally considered the
best feed for finishing. Care must
be exercised in feeding corn in the
fall. especially new, soft or frozen
corn. There is a danger of serious
digestive troubles and losses may
occur where such corn is fed, ac-
cording TO the circular.
If poults have been grown on
a regular ration, they can be easily
shifted to a finishing ration about
four to six weeks before market
ing time A finishing ration con-
Sists of so pounds of corn, 25
pounds of wheat and 25 pounds Of
oats is suggested.
The Coolidge examiner., 1931-07-10
POULTRY NOTES

Turkeys should not be exposed
to dampness.
Roughly figured eggs are grain
concentrated from five pounds of
feed to one pound of egg.
To buy more than four chicks for
every square foot of brOoder house
space is a risky investment.
The old theory that turkeys must
have plenty of range is not false
but more expensive than rearing
them in confinement
If evidence is found of heavy
worm infestation among the young
birds, give each a worm capsule
before placing them in the laying
house.
Ducks must have clean water in
pans deep enough to cover the holes
in the nose as they drink. Notice
how they blow out food when drink
ing which otherwise might clog
their nostri1s and choke them.
The Coolidge examiner., 1931-07-10
Seed the Yards

When a comparatively large num-
Der of chickens are kept in small
quarters it is important that some
provisions be made to permit the
changing of the yards every year.
This will do great deal to elm
mate trouble from disease and will
furnish green feed which is essen
tial for a healthy flock. A green
crop will utilize the droppings of
the chicks and produce a good
growth which in turn will hasten
the eradication of any contamina-
ton. Where yard space is limit
ed it will be necessary to divide
the yards if successful crops are to
be grown.
The Coolidge examiner., 1931-07-10
WHY Hens Quit Laying

Many f1ocks of laying hens quit
producing, profitably, while egg
prices remain high. There may
be several reasons for this, accord
ing to D. G. Kennard, Ohio expert
ment station.
Changes in feeding and manage
ment, overcrowding and lack of
feeding space may all come in for
part of the blame. Each hen
should have three to four square
feet of floor space, and each 100
hens should have 80 to 40 feet of
hopper space for the best results.

 TO START SOON
Fourth Season on Air Will Be lnaugurated Tues=
 day

The Voters Service, presenting a series of programs which deal with | current problems of government, will inaugurate it's fourth season | over a National Broadcasting Com I pany network Tuesday, January 6. from zoo to 7:30 p. m., eastern standard time.
 l The Voters Service presents men and women who are conducting the nations affairs, experts on matters discussed, and the journalists who observe and record political hap | penings. It's aim is to present all sides of issues, but to promote none. During the coming season em- phasis Is to be placed upon current problems and the attempt will be to show what the average citizen, as a voter. can do about them. The sub- jects have been chosen for their timeliness, intrinsic importance and appeal to persons interested in the economic and political problems of the day.
 Senator Arthur H. Vandenburg of Michigan and Senator Robert J. Bulkley of Ohio will launch the opening program on January 6. The Voters Personal Stake in Gov ernment" is the topic of this broad cast. Senator Bulkley will discuss the government at home, while Sem ator Vandenburg will talk about the stake in government abroad.
 Senator Bulkeley was sent to the senate at the November election and was formerl va member of con gress from Ohio, from 1911 to 1915. He has had great deal of experi- ence in administration and law.
 A valuable member of the For eign Relations Committee, Senator Vandenburg of Michigan, has been in congress since 1928. He is the editor of the Grand Rapids Herald and author of several books and arr ticles relating to foreign affairs.
 Such topics as The Voter and His Pockebook Today" which deals with the business depression, The Voter and His Job" which will take up the employment situation. and The Voter and His Market Basket" distribution are to be analysed, will be considered in the course of the series.
 Future programs will present such speakers as Dr Virgil Jordan. editor of The Business Week." Edward Eyre Hunt of the Department of Commerce. Washington. D. C., both of whom will be heard on the Jan uary 13 program. The Voter and His Pocketbook Today" Colonel c. o. Sherrill of Cincinnati and Senator Capper of Kansas will speak Janu- ary 20 on Government Big Busi- ness and Little Business.
 The Voters Service is sponsored Jointly by the National League of Women Voters and the National Broadcasting Company. Station WIAF in New York will head the extensive NEG network broadcast ing the programs.

A Star in the West

THERE'S a star in the west that
! shall never go down
Till the record of valor decay;
We must worship its Light though
it is not our own,
For liberty burst in its ray.
Shall the name Of Washington
ever be heard
By a freeman, and thriIl not his
breast?
L there one out Of bondage that
halls not the word
Az the Bethlehem Star of the
West?
0H, HIS laurels were pure! and
~ his patriot name
In the page Of the future shall
dwell.
And be seen in all annals, the fore.
most in fame,
By the side of Hofer and Tell.
The truthful and honest, the wise
and the good,
Among the Britons have nobly
confessed
That his was the glory, and ours
was the blood,
OF the deeply stained fields of
the West.

OF VIRGINIA

Of military men might have larger
success in ending the war.
1.-THE northern colonies should feel
the fatal results of their treason"
says the positive-speaking sea COM
mander. There and there only the
war must be finished. I cannot con-
clude without being of the opinion
that new commission, with the same
powers as Lord Carlisle's, taking care
the majority OF the commissioners
are not military men, may have such
an effect as to bring about peace.
Washington is certainly to be bought
--honors will do it."
Viewed as Dictator.
The final reference to Washington
In the letters is unsigned, is dated
1871 and is in the handwriting of
German. Its context indicates It
was a discussion Of the condition In
the Colonies prepared for presentation
either to the king or the ministry.
In speaking of the Colonies the
memorandum says:
''They appear to be under the con-
troll of their general Washington,
who becomes every day more indie
pendent Of the congress as he more
closely connects himself with France !;
how long such government can ex-
list it is impossible to say, but the
restless spirit of the people and the
regret they feel for the loss of that
liberty which they thought they were
fighting for, their dislike Of mil
itary government, their natural aver
sion to the French nation, may in
cline them to return to their connec-
ton with this country, If we remain
in a situation to receive and protect
them"

years. The royal decree restores dur
ing the election period freedom of
speech, freedom of writing. freedom
of lawful assembly and of political
and religious organization. 1t says the
government has done everything posi-
BILE to guarantee honest elections and
that these should have the full sup
port of the nation.
But, say the Madrid correspondents,
many politicians do not believe In the
sincerity of the government and many
more will not participate in the cleo
tons because of their wrath against
the king. Socialists representing the
vast majority of labor; Republicans,
who command the support of fully 80
per cent of the students; monarchist
enemies of Alfonso XIII, who, under
the guidance of Sanchez Guerra, are
demanding a constituent assembly,
stand fast in their refusal to 60 to the
polls.
The opening of the electoral period
finds the country In state of extreme
nervousness. Alarming posters of revo-
lutionary and counter revolutionary
plots appear everywhere.

Washington
"Key Man. of
Revolution

British officers and English civilians
in America at the time of the revo-
luton considered George Washington
the key man" of the war.
Letters in the collection of papers
of Lord George German, recently
brought to the William Clements IL
brary at Ann Arbor, Mich, by Regent
w. L. Clements, contain many ref
erences to the American leader.
Many of the letters present to Lord
German the thought that Washing
ton might conclude to end the war if
properly approached" using that
term in Its modern meaning. No
suggestion is made at any time in
the letters that any of these sug-
gestions were acted upon or that
Washington was aware of their ex-
istence.
Monk Case Cited.
That Washington should be allowed
to see the resemblance between his
own case and that of George Monk,
who, following the death of Crom-
well, so unanswered things that
Charles II regained his crown as
king of England. was suggested in a
letter written in ITS by Sir John
Dalrymple.
From all accounts Of General Wash
ingtons character there is a resemb-
lance between his character and Cen

action was taken by the upper house
there might be fillbuster on appropri-
alton bills.
The Wisconsin senate adopted three
resolutions asking congress to relieve
the country from prohibition. One
urges a national prohibition referen-
dunn. the second asks modification Of
the VoIstead act to permit the manu-
facture Of light wines and beer, and
the third calls for immediate repeal
or modification of the Eighteenth
amendment. Concurrence of the lower
house In these resolutions was COD
sidered certain.
