Technocracy has claimed that the

editor of the magazine Iron
Age, showed this reported govern

Scott, in rebuttal, said he had

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Con-
~ servative economists and
prominent figures in industry
have challenged practically every
statement uttered by democracy.
Some critics are content merely to
voice their scorn and general dis
belief of the whole new scientific
philosophy and its promises of a
marvellous new era of combined
prosperity and leisure in a nation
controlled by engineers.
Other opponents have met tech
nocracy's deductions with contra
dictory data.
In fact, about the only common
ground on which technocrat and
critic can meet is the belief that
chronological progress must go on.
In the days of the old industrial
revolution, reactionaries went
about smashing the machines that
were believed to be threatening
their jobs. But every one is agreed
that the way back is not the way
out today. The machine must be
made more and more efficient.
From that point on, the two
paths are widely divergent. Tech
nocracy says simply that our robot
slaves should be made to do more
Of the worlds work.
1ndustrialism says better ma
chimes are needed to permit the
growth of business, the return to
prosperity, and the release of
workers for the building up of new
industries.
Technocracy makes the bitter
charge that some industries al
ready would be practically nom
existent if they had been making
the best possible products instead
of ones which would wear out
quickly and require replacement.
Howard Scott, chief Technocrat.
has mentioned a tungsten edged
razor blade which he says could be
made for 80 cents and would last
a lifetime. Metallurgists, among
them Gregory Comstock of the
Firth-Sterling Steel Company, de-
clare their experiments with
tungsten carbide steel for that
purpose have been successful.
They say further that if such a
blade, or any of the other sensa-
tionally superior products mem
toned by Scott were perfected,
they could not be withheld from a
competitive market.

Fresh Air Essential

Fresh air is very essential for
the laying stock. Houses should
not be built to admit the fresh air
through cracks, causing draughts.
Arrange the ventilators so that the
air can be changed in the house at
will. One of the best ways of ac-
complishing this is to have the win
dows so arranged that they can be
opened every day. In the winter
an hour or less would probably be
sufficient, but it is essential, even in
cold weather, to allow the house to
be purified by ventilation. For this
purpose many persons are using
burlap screens. which give good sat
isfaction. Some breeders advocate
the Open scratching shed, where
nothing but screen wire is between
the outside air and the fowl as they
are exercising during the day. Ven
tilation shafts have not given the
best satisfaction.

Care and Marketing of
Quality Eggs Important

Caring for eggs until they are
marketed is an important step in
producing quality eggs, it is pointed
out. Methods of caring for eggs
are outlined as follows:
l. Keep eggs in a clean cool place,
free from all odors.
2. Prevent excessive evaporation
of moisture with a dampened cloth
or sack while they are being held.
3. Clean soiled eggs with steel
wool rather than wash them.
Suggestions for marketing eggs
of quality are:
1. Market eggs at least twice
weekly.
2. Secure an -candling chart
from the United States Department
of Agriculture, for which there Is
no charge, and learn to determine
quality of eggs by Gambling.
3. Do not market an egg unless
you are convinced that it is of good
quality.
4. Pack eggs for shipping or de-
livery with the small ends down.

Straw Sheds for
Cattle in Winter
Shelter Will Have Marked
Effect in Saving of
Food Supplied.

BY w A. FOSTER, Agricultural Engi
neering Department. College of Agricul
ture. University OF Illinois.-WNU Service.
Many grain farmers with plenty
of feed and no favorable market
will turn to cattle feeding this win
ter as a temporary outlet. Those
without equipment or shelter will
have to build straw sheds or some
other protection if they save what
little margin of profit they will
have. Should the winter be severe.
the saving in feed alone will pay
for the time and effort in building,
he pointed out.
A dozen posts cut from the tim
Der, four poles 20 to "a feet long,
IL shorter poles II feet long and
80 rods of 4-foot fencing is ample
for a II by 40-foot shed, which is
large enough for a carload of heavy
cattle. This allows for an S-foot
height and for four rows of wire
on the roof to hold the straw. Old
boards or brush may be used in
place of the wire to hold the straw
on the roof.
Each of the sides and the end of
the shed is formed by two parallel
rows of fencing with straw packed
between them. Like a concrete
form, the two rows of fencing must
be tied together at intervals to pre-
vent bulging. Using heavy posts,
with fencing on both sides, will
hold enough packed straw to break
the wind and shut out storms.
Close-mesh wire Is preferable so
that the animals cannot eat or pull
out the straw.
Two widths of wire should be
used to get a 7-to-S-foot height at
the rear. Sloping the shed roof up
ward to the front not only will give
q slight watershed. but also will
assist in ventilation and lighting.
Snow-fence cribbing may be used.
Another type of straw shed can
be built on the south or east side
Of the straw pile. One can easily
cut down one side of the stack with
a hay knife, build the necessary
framework and use the removed
straw for the cover.

Value of Charcoal

The value of charcoal in poultry
feeding is frequently overlooked.
Good samples of charcoal are rich
in minerals such as phOsphoric acid,
lime, magnesia and potash, which
play an important part in the
growth and development of young
stock and are of especial benefit to
the blood-stream, on which health
and production so largely depend.
By giving 5 per cent of powdered
or granulated charcoal daily in the
soft or wet mash, much trouble can
be averted.
The Coolidge examiner., 1932-12-30
Feeding Dry Mash

Three to four pounds Of dry lay
ing mash made crumbly by the use
of milk or water adds to the pal
atability of the feed and can be
given daily to each 100 chickens.
Some prefer to give the wet mash
at noon and others in the after
noon. Just when it is supplied
does not make any difference in the
results obtained. In using either
lights or crumbly mash or both
every operator should feed daily II
to ii pounds of grain to each of his
100 hens.

Mistake to Allow Work
Stock to Get Run Down

While thousands of horses are
wintered In stalk fields and brought
through the idle season In thrifty
condition, other thousands are i'm
properly nourished and must be
carefully fed toward spring to get
them back in good working cOndi-
tion, Wallaces Farmer says. Most
stalk fields furnish satisfactory
pasture for idle mature horses late
in the fall and a part of the early
winter, but as the feed supply
wanes, and especially as It's quail
ity Is greatly reduced. trouble Is
apt to set in.
1t is cheaper and more satisfac-
tory in the long run TO keep the
work stock in thrifty condition the
year around. When stalk pasture
is supplemented with one or two
daily feeds of legume hay, 1t is usu-
ally possible to keep the work
horses in good thrift, so that with
a short grain feeding period in the
spring they can be put in excellent
condition. Legume hay supple
menting corn stalks tends to keep
the horses bowels in good condi-
ton. A small amount Of grain
should usually be fed daily.
While horses do we'll in the open,
they should be sheltered at night
and from all storms and cold
rains. Plenty Of fresh water should
be supplied, and salt, of course,
should always be Obtainable.

Checking Soil Erosion

1t does not pay to follow the time
honored farm adage "Plow a
straight furrow" if your land is be-
ing depleted by soil erosion, says
the United States Department of
Agriculture.
Straight rows. especially over
sloping land, make soil erode more
rapidly than usual. THE desire for
straight rows has been a costly con-
tributing cause of erosion on Amer
ican farms. Straight rows were
never intended for sloping fields"
says r. H. Davis, soil-erOsiOn spe-
cialist of the department. A straight
row down a slope really gives soil
erosion start.

FOLLOW EIGHT "C'S"
TO BETTER CHICKS
North Carolina Poultryman
Gives Good Advice.
BY c. F. Parrish. Extension Poultryman.
North Carolina State College.
WNU Service

The eight "C's" for better chicks
may be grouped as clean eggs, clean
incubators, clean chicks, clean
broOder houses, clean range, clean
litter, clean food, and clean manage
ment.
Right now poultrymen are enter
ing their busiest season and are
looking for the best methods to use
in growing healthy, hardy chicks
which will pay profit. We do not
know the best way to grow healthy
chicks, but we do know a program
to follow which will almost in
variably make for success in the in
dustry.
No one can produce healthy
chicks without clean eggs produced
by hens that have been blood-tested
and found free of bacillary white
diarrhea. These eggs must be
placed in incubators that have been
thoroughly cleaned and dried before
the eggs have ever been put into
them. Then, every poultryman
should be careful about the chicks
which he brings to his place from
some other breeder or practical
poultryman. Only strong, clean
chicks from disease-free stock
should be purchased.
The next step Is to have clean
brooder houses and place these on
ground where chicks have not been
reared before. Good range Is also
important. 1t Is wise to grow out
the chicks on range where no poul-
try droppings have been spread and
where some green crop has been
planted. Clean litter on the floor
is needed. Straw. shavings or peat
moss is good for chicks. Sawdust
Is poor.
The dole system does not work

they will eat in such containers as
the chicks cannot foul or waste the
feed.
