"Mamma's Baby Boy"
Draws Large Crowds

A most responsive and apprec1atiVe
audience witnessed the performance OF
Mammals Baby Boy" the Senior play
presented Tuesday afternoon and eve
ming, April 3.
The play went off remarkably well,
each character being suited to his
part. Carroll Meeker, as Sheppard
Mclean, Mammals Baby Boy" brought
many appreciative chuckles from the
audience. Mrs. Mclean, played by
Kristine Sigurdson, and Luther Long,
played by Elroy Wiehl, were inter-
preted with a mixture of dignity and
humor that was very appropriate.
Louise Walker as Mr. Longs daugh-
ter, Juliet, gave a very charming and
sympathetic performance. Jane Rem
linger, as Minnie, Mrs McLeans COL
ored servant, was awkward and anus
ing. Other parts were interpreted
equally we'll.
The plot of the play gave the MEM
bers of the cast an opportunity to dis
play their ability to advantage.
Proceeds from the play amounted
to Sal 80, $6.45 being taken In at the
matinee and $35.45 at the evening S
performance After approximately SlO
is deducted to pay for expenses OF
production, the rest will be used to
finance the senior trip, and to pay
for graduation expenses.

Healthier Chicks From
Carefully Chosen Eggs

Healthier chicks, bigger chicks, and
hens that will lay eggs weighing more
per dozen than now produced are pre-
dicted by w. D. Buchanan, State Col
lege extension poultryman, as a re-
suit of the new hatchery code now IN
effect. The code provides that hatch
cries must not set eggs weighing less
than one and five-eighths ounces each
or less than % ounces to the dozen.
Further provisions will help eradicate
pullorum disease, commonly known as
bacilliary white diarrhea.
Barring the setting of small eggs
is important, says Mr. Buchanan, be-
cause Investigations have proved that
as rule chicks Matched from small
eggs are smaller than chicks matched
from larger eggs. Egg size is also IN
herited and hens Matched from good
sized eggs will lay larger eggs on the
average than the eggs Of hens hatchee
from small eggs. Continuous selectlof
of good-sized eggs, for setting will tene
to produce larger chicks and larger
bullets which will in turn produce
larger eggs.
Pullorum disease has caused hlgf
mortality in chicks and is difficult u
eradicate because it is transmltte'
from dam to chick through the egg
The disease may be transferred iron
diseased chicks to healthy ones durm
the Matching period. Under the hatch
cry code, all hatchery operators az
vertising chicks from "blood-tested
stock must state the disease tested 10
the date, by whom conducted, and IN
method used on tag attached
|, the shipping box. The tag must ais
state that all reactors to the 'bloo
test" for pullorum disease were re
, moved.
