Fresh Air Is Cheapest
Thing In Stock Ration

The cheapest thing in the ration
for all live stock is fresh air. II
contributes to the income from
milk and. meat as surely as does
liberal feeding Of a complete
ration.
But this doesn't mean fresh afr
should come into the barn through
cracks or open doors. 1t should
come in by means Of well-de-
signed ventilating system which at
the same time removes the stale,
moisture-laden air. A dairy cow
breathes out ten pounds Of water
In "a hours.
A good ventilating system re-
quires good wall construction to
hold heat in. There must be stop
page Of all openings where passage
of air is not wanted, and insula-
ton to prevent escape Of heat.
Neglect insulation and your venti-
lation system will be faulty, your
feed bills will he higher, your prof
it will be lower.

Checking Soil Erosion

It 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. 1.-THE desire for
straight rows has been a costly con.
tributing cause of erosion on Amer
lean farms. Straight rows were
never intended for sloping fields"
says r. III. Davis, soil-erosion spe-
cialist of the department. A straight
row down a slope really gives soil
erosion a start.

POULTRY FACTS

Each dollar invested in lime re-
turns three dollars or more to the
pocketbook.
No matter how prime the birds
are at the conclusion Of the fatten-
ing period, the premium Of one or
more may be lost through careless
ness in killing and dressing.
In breeding turkeys, more than
with any other poultry, relationship
should be avoided. When inbreed-
ing is practiced, lack Of vitality,
crooked breast and other deformi-
ties will result.
Although an increase is shown,
turkey production in the United
States is now only where 1t was sew
eral years ago, when the popula-
ton of the country was much un-
der the present figure.

In an automobile near here last
night the bodies of Mrs. Clark
her husband, Daniel D. Clark,

They apparently had died from
carbon monoxide poisoning. Police
expressed the opinion that the
husband and wife had decided to

of the automobile were tightly
closed and hose attached to the
exhaust pipe led into the sedan

Of BUREAUS .
RESUMED
Temporary Setback Due to
Visits Of Foreign ENJOYS;
Work Continues Monday

A new complication arose today
in the Administrations plans to
reorganize the Federal depart
mentS.
It appeared in the form Of a
section of the original economy
act, whereby furloughs are made
mandatory, rather than dismissals
of employees, whenever appropria-
tionS are cut.
SlaSheS are proceeding. In the
small office of education, Depart
ment Of the Interior, where the
staff formerly numbered 100,
seven have been dismissed as Of
April Is, one has died, and a
temporary force of seven en-
ployes will go on June 80. The
likelihood of further cuts is in
prospect.
It was indicated today that the
reduction of the Navy Department
personnel here by 200, held up
temporarily, would not only be
made, but that it will be followed
by other substantial reductions.
In the Labor Departments oust-
ing of the United States Employ
ment Service, the veterans and
farm employment organizations
are not being eliminated, how
ever.
Federal departments have a
relatively free hand in reducing
forces by dismissal or by fur
lough, but some problems will be
encountered in the independent
offices.
