EGG-EATING BIRDS

Limestone or Oyster Shell

By II II Kaufman. Poultry Extension

lege.--wNU Service.
Egg eating by hens is double
harreled proposition which involves
both cause and effect.
When the hens are not getting
enough grit or vitamIn ID they lay
weak-shelled eggs. These are easily
broken and the hens, which crave
the materials lacking In the diet,
start eating the eggs.
To prevent the occurrence OF this
habit in the poultry flock. oyster
shells or limestone grit should be
kept before the birds all the time.
Since they eat Off the coarse partl-
cles and leave the dust. the grit OF
oyster shells should be stirred occa-
slonally.

oil. II the flock is not receiving
enough OF this substance an addI-
nonal supply should be allowed.
and where none has been fed the
omission should be corrected. An
eighth OF a pint a day for 100 birds
Is recommended. This can be fed
on the grain or In the mash.
Occasionally. even after the def
clencies In the ration have been cor

tinue TO eat eggs. II they can be
detected they should be removed
promptly from the flock.

During the last three years these
thinly-clads from a state noted for
it's basketball and football have
hung up record after record, both
on home and foreign fields. Some
of them have made the best marks
ever recorded for their events.
Others have become national cham
,pions. At the head of the group
are Ivan Fuqua and Charles Horn
hostel of Indiana.
Ran In Olympics
Fuuua was member of the
Olympic 1,6OO-meter relay team
which set a new world record to
nose out Great Britain for first
place. Hornbostel was among lead
ers in the B00-meter run. Since
then the two have turned in stellar
performances at nearly every event
in which they participated.
The high-geared Fuqua started
out by becoming the 400-meter
champion of five European countries
during a Olympic invasion. He
also is the A. A. U. 400-meter title
holder.
Hornbostel, although clicked last
year in the fastest unofficial time
ever made in the half mile, appears
to be at the height of his career
this season.
Beats Eastern Stars
He. started the present year by
defeating the famous Gene Venzke
at Brooklyn. Less than month
later Hornbostel won the 1000 event
at the Millrose games in Madison
Square Garden.
At the Penn relays the tall, be-
specialized Hoosier, an Evansville
product, defeated another national
ly known runner, Bill Bonthron OF
Princeton, in half mile finish. He
and F'uqua ran on winning relay
teams in both the Penn and Kansas
relays.
In the Big Ten championships,
Hornbostel broke a record of eight
cen years standing in qualifying for
the half-mile run. He won the
final Fuqua set q new Big Ten
record for the 44O-yard dash. He
and Hornbostel also were members
of Indianas winning relay team
which also set new record.
Hornstobel, unlike Fuqua, never
had run in a race before he went
to Indiana. Fuqua set national in
terscholastic marks in the 220 ssno
440-yard dashes while a senior at
Brazil high school.

LAD CAPTURES ENGLISH DERBY
Golfers Tune
for n atiOnal
Open Tourney
Sarazen, Favorite, Believes
Armour and Laffoon
Dark Horses.
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

ARDMORE, Pa, June GAIL of
Americas ace professionals and
most of her amateur stars sharp
ened their shots on Merion's- COM
pact and tricky course today as final
tune-up for the National Open
championship starting tomorrow.
Not since Bobby Jones heyday
has United States open contained
such a completely of possibilities.
This years three-day chase is, with
out any argument, the most wide
open fight of any since the turn of
the century.
The odd-layers have made Gene
Sarazen the Cavalcade or Babe Ruth
OF the seventy -two-hole test, but if
this were a college instead of a golf
tourney it's by no means certain
that Gene, although twice winner of
the crown, would be voted by his
mates or his observers as most
likely to succeed"
Gene Has Hopes
Talk with Gene and you are con-
vinced that in his heart of hearts
he thinks his chances are swell
elegant. But he won't say much
about them.
sure they've made me favorite, I"
he said today after a breakfast of
double orange juice, zweiback, black
coffee and cigar. But I wish I
was 20 to shot so I could gamble
on myself. I'll give you a tip. Look
at Tommy Armour if he practices
today. And look at him, anyway,
and a whole lot when he plays
Thursday"
Armour, winner of the title in
1927 and of the British champion
ship in 1881, has been kidding the
press, according to Gene.
Armour in Trim
Tommy has said '74' and u.s. for
nearly week now" Sarazen said,
"but don't you believe it. I haven't
all the figures, but I'll bet he hasn't
averaged over II, and maybe not
that high. He's dark horse for
fair"
Another dark horse came to light,
in manner of speech, virtually on
the eve of the tourney. He is KY
Laffoon, ace from Denver, who has
been just eleven strokes past par in
eight practice rounds. His total for
those eight tours was 568. o. 284
for each 70 holes. Since the record
is 286, and few seriously expect it
to be broken, Laffoon, if he could
score as well in actual play, would
be the lad to take the crown now
worn by Johnny Goodman of
Omaha.
Except for struggling one or
two, all the fielc of $50 players had
checked in at the swanky Merton
Cricket Clubs Office today.
The weather was scorching hot,
just as it always is for National
Opens.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-06-06

Both clubs tailed in the opening
round and then Turner and Ed
Greer settled down and fought out
a mound duel, with Turner allow
ing only three safetieS the remain
der of the way. The one-all score
was broken in the sixth when
Washington doubled and Bedore
scored him with a single. Bedore
also drove in Washington in the
initial stanza.
In the eighth Cooney singled, Co.
telle sacrificed, Washington walked
and Bedore singled, scoring CoSney.
j. Sherlock forced Bedore, Wash
ington scoring, and then V. Sher-
lock singled, but Cullop made a
leaping catch on a drive by Sprinz
to end the inning.
The teams were carded to engage
in twin bill this afternoon, and
tomorrow night the series will be
brought to a close with a game UNI
der the lights. The Indians will re-
turn home to begin a long stay at
Perry stadium Friday, opening with
a night tilt that evening against
Toledo.
