EARLY CHICKS RETURN
GREATEST PROFITS
by f. D. Griffin

n we stop TO consider the pri-
mary reason for raising chicks each
year. We will soon realize the I'M
portance of getting the baby chicks
/ al an early date. Probably no less
than 90G of all baby chicks hatch
ed are produced with one idea
pullet layers at maturity.
II is. therefore. advisable that
consideration be given the import
ant question of the best time to
procure the baby chicks. When do
we want egg production from the
pullets? The answer should be
at the time of the year when egg
prices are the highest.
For many years figures on egg
prices have shown that the fall and
early winter months command the
best prices for eggs. November
is usually the peak month, with Oc-
tobcr. December. September and
January following in about that or
der. The reason for higher egg
prices during these months is small
CT supply due to lower production.
Good hens that have gone through a
years production are normally in
mott and low production at this sea-
son. Hence. production must come
largely from the pullets.
In order TO get profitable prOduc-
tiOn from pulletS in October. Nov
embcr and December. the pullets
must be started at a time that will
allow them to mature and be on the
Job when prices are highest. For
the light breeds five to six monts
will he necessary to get ~ to SOC
production and desirable egg size.
For heavy breeds four to six weeks
additional time will be necessary.
Many successful poultrymen plan
tn get their heavy-breed chicks dur
ing the period from March 1st to
May 18th Thus they assure them
selves of pullet production when
production means most in dollars
and cents.
The program Just suggested has
one other feature that is often over
looked Half of the chicks will be
cockerels that need TO be disposed
of as brOileTs. The earlier the
chicks are started. the better will be
the income from the cOckerels sold
as brOilers, because they can be sold
before the heavy supply reaches the
markets and causes the price to
decline.

ORCHARD SPRAY SERVICE

The orchard spray service pro
gram for the benefit of all frui
growers in the state will be conduc
ed again this spring and summer
under the direction of DIR. J. F
Adams. plant pathOlOgist Of the Uni
versity of Delaware and the State
Board of Agriculture. who has beer
in charge OF this work In coOpera,
tion with the county agricultural
agents for the past several years
The first edition of these orchard
spray notes to the fruit growers in
Kent County for the 1884 season Waf
mailed ON March IA from the Office
of County Agent Russell E. Wilson
and other editions will be issued al
timely intervals throughout the COM
ing spring and summer months. An
effort has been made each year to
include every fruit grower in this
spray service, so those growers
who have not been receiving these
spray notes in the past are request
ed to notify the county extension
Office if they desire to have their
names placed in the mailing list to
receive this information.
In discussing the fruit situation
for this year. DIR. Adams stated that
the low temperature during the last
week in December initiated the first
injury to the blossom buds of peach
es. and this injury has been extend
cd throughout the past two months
so as to eliminate any prospects for
"a commercial crop Of peaches this
year In this section of the United
States. In few paintings only 500
kill of blossom buds has been re-
ported, but generally the yellow
varieties shows few IL any live
buds. Although the white varieties
appear TO have withstood the severe
winter weather with more resistance
than the other varieties. even so
there are no indications of COM
mPrCial crop this year. .. 3. =. g..
In addition TO bud injury there
has resulted considerable twig and
trunk injury, the extent OF which
will vary with the age, vigor and
variety. all of which must be care
fully determined by the growers
before they decide upon the type of
pruning that will be best adapted to
restore the peach trees to their pro-
per growth for the 1884 crop. A
high renewal pruning will prove the
most efficient method to Offset the
winter injury, as severe. dehorni1g
or cutting back to the main scaf-
fold branches is not regarded as a
good practice.
Along with these spray notes Di-
rector c. A. McCue of the University
of Delaware has offered some sug-
gestiOns and recommendation re-
gardine the treatment of winter. in
jured peach trees in which he stated
that the best treatment In such cas-
es Is TO pFune moderately, fertilize
well. and exercise good management
during the following growing sea-
son.
Although there are no prospects
for a commercial crop of peaches
this year. growers are advised to
spray their trees for the control of
leaf curl. terrapin scale and red mite
in order TO prevent the trees from
becoming weakened for the produc-
lion of crop OF fruit next year.
For leaf-curl only the commercial
lime sulphur is being recommended
and in those peach orchards which
are infested with either the terrapin
scale or the red mite in addition
10 an infection of leaf-curl il is be-
ne advised that an oil spray with
Bordeaux mixture be applied before
he buds start to swell.

SANITATION PREVENTS
POULTRY DISEASES
By A. g. Phillips, Formerly Prof.
In Charge Poultry Husbandry
Purdue university.

Many kinds of disease and inter
nal parasites that bother young
chicks may be prevented by putting
into effect definite plan Of SANTA
tion. Since the soil over which the
chicks. may run can harbor both
disease organisms and worm eggs.
the problem Of soil cleanliness de-
serves first consideration.
Where possible. the building used
for brooding chicks on the general
farm should be portable, thus max
ing II possible TO utilize land upon
which no chicks we're allowed to run
during the preceding year. II may
remain near the dwelling house
during the first ten or twelve weeks
OF brOOding for the sake of cOnven-
lence in caring for the chicks, but
after the weather has become set
tied and the cOckerels sold, II is
advisable to move 1t on to a clean
range. f
This range may be corn field,
pasture. or. open woods. II is prac-
tical to locate the range upon pas
tuTe used by livestock. A tempOr-
AIRY rail fence around the buildings
and feed hoppcrs will give prOtec-
tiOn against damage from cattle and
horses.
Probably the most important time
to give thought to soil sanitation IL
when the chicks are young and con-
fined close to the brOoder house.
Wire fOOTed runways will keep
chicks of the ground and are prac-
tical TO use. Some poultry keep
eFs have found II sensible to put six
inches of fresh clean gravel or Gin
ders i'm front of the brOOder house
twhether il be portable or perman-
eh], and cOnfine the chicks by wire
fencing to this freshly covered area.
The fresh gravel probably con-
tains no disease organisms or worm
eggs, and since gravel is porous
the rain washing through it and the
hot sun shining Upon it will help
to, keep it as sanitary as possible.
A sod bound piece of ground may
not remain very sanitary after chicks
have run over IL for a week. Neither
the sun nor the rain will improve
II to any extent. Baby chicks
should be allowed out of doors and
into the sunshine as early in life as
possible. but Il is inadivsable to al
low this IL the land over which they
may run is not what may be term

Dismissal of Wife'S Suit for
$7,400 Monthly Is
Asked by Rudy.

By United Press
LOS ANGELES, Jan. %. - The
transcontinental marital battle CT
Rudy Vallee and Fay Webb Vallee
was scheduled to move into court
today when the crooner's attorneys
prepared 10 argue a demurrer, seek
ing to clarity or dismiss his wife's
suit for separate maintenance.
Attorneys Samuel S. Zagon and
Harold Aaron hoped to smoke out
the names of three women who,
according to Mrs. Vallee's suit, car
ried on clandestine romances with
her husband. The complaint tags
the women merely as Jane Doe
One, Jane Doe Two, and Jane Doe
Three"
The demurrer alleges the charge
is too indefinite to be refuted con-
clusively in court. A favorable rul-
ing today would force Mrs. Vallee
to identify the three Jane Does"
by name.
The session was preliminary to a
hearing tomorrow on Mrs Vallee's

alimony, pending settlement of the
separate maintenance suit.
Renewing the legal sniping, attor-
neys for Mrs. Vallee yesterday OBJ
tanned a court order, delegating
them to take a deposition from the
crooner in New York. Ben Cohen,
one of her attorneys, plans to fly
east after the hearing tomorrow.
The order was construed as move
to peep behind Mr.. Vallee's legal
stage and see what defense he will
offer when trial of the maintenance
suit is called.
His formal answer has not yet
been filed, but will be after the de-
murrer is disposed of, his attorneys
said. According to Attorney zagon,
the answer will contain a general
denial of Mrs. Vallee's charges of
indiscretions, of cruelty and of her
being forced into signing separa-
ton agreement by which she has
been receiving 500 a week.
