SUSSEX POULTRYMEN

In order that this survey may be
Of the most value, these officials are
desirOus of meeting with the brOiler
raisers and poultrymen to discuss
with them, some of their problems
as well as to explain the live poul-
try market in New York City which
for several years has been very un-
satisfactory to the producer.
In view Of this County Agricultur-
al Agent e. r. Snyder has arranged
meetings to be held in the Bridge
Vile school on Wednesday evening,
November 13, and at the Lord Balti-
more school, Ocean View, on Thurs
day evening, November IA. officials
of the AAA will be present to ex-
plain the above subjects. These
meetings should be well attended
Judging from the number Of people
in our county who are vitality inter-

terprise means as much to the Sus-
sex county farm as the poultry in

about lettering this business every

u. S. TURKEY STUDIES
AID BUYERS, SELLERS

ITO meet the consumers demand
for a tender, well-fattened turkey
by Thanksgiving the producer must
feed his young stock so that the
birds will make rapid. gains up to
the age of 26 to % weeks" say pOul-
try specialists of the United States
Department OF Agriculture. Since
maximum gains in young turkeys
depend largely on the kind and
quality OF the feeds, the department
specialists are planning more inten-
siVe study Of diets for turkeys at the
Beltsville Research Center at Belts
vile, Md.
Stanley ]. Marsden. who has been
doing this work at the Bureaus ex-
pertinent station at Miles City. Mont,
is being transferred to Beltsville and
will have charge of the turkey in
vestigations there. The conditions
at BeltsVille will be more like aver
age farm conditions than they have
been at Miles City which is in the
range country.
In addition to the Investigations
with diets, the work at Beltsville
will include the study Of more de-
sirable strains for market purposes.
An attempt will be made to develop
strains Of one or more. of the com
mon breeds, or perhaps a cross of
breeds, that will be meatier and
more compact than any of the breeds
that are now being raised for the
markets. Many turkey growers be-
lieve that the standard weights of
the common breeds are too high and
that lighter weight might be more
desirable for market purposes, pro-
vided lighter standards would not
sacrifice meatiness. of carcass.

NEW GEAR LUBRICANT
h. OFFERED By sun OIL co.

Just at a time when it will be q
vital necessity in thousands Of cars.
the Sun Oil Company has announced
new product known as Transep.
Transep is a new gear lubricant
that Is required by many modern
cars with their smaller, hypoid
gears. These gears engage under
such terrific pressure that ordinary
gear greases are soon squeezed out,
leaving the gears naked and liter
ally turning them into cannibals,
chewing up each other until the
teeth are ruined and new gears be-
come absolutely necessary.
Transep has been made to cling
to wear teeth under any possible
pressure and to keep on lubricating,
mile after mile, preventing canni-
balism and its resulting expense.
Beyond being an extreme pressure
lubricant Of the most approved type,
Transep is a safer, better gear lubri-
cant in all cars and Is conspicuous
for its endurance. II also has other
features (which will appeal to all
motorists, il contains no abrasives
and does not thicken or sOlidify
when exposed to cold.
Many motorists have had the pro-
voking experience of being able TO
start their motorists on an extreme
ly cold day but then being delayed
by the inability of the gear shift
lever to mOye-the gears being liter
ally frozen into a solid mass Of
wear grease. Transep's ability to
Withstand cold means that gears
can be Immediately shifted on the
coolest day without any struggle.
Transep is on sale at all SunOcO ser
vice stations and costs no more than
ordinary gear grease.

ZACH day a charade
entitled Ignorance Is
Bliss" is being en-
acted in all OF the
- nearby barnyards by
that pompous, strutting mon
arch Of the fowl wOrld-the ma
tional bird. Sublimely uncon-
scious is he of the suspended in
strument which one of these No
vember days will fall with a dull
thud, and mark the beginning Of
the end. Thereafter he will be
dressed inside and. out, and car
rIed high on silver platters by a
long, long line of servitOrs, to
be offered as a sacrifice to ap-
pease the appetite of the great
American people. That, Of
course, is a roundabout way of
saying that turkey will be the
dinner for a great many Amer
lean families, who look forward
to Thanksgiving as the time
when each, member will be home
to complete the circle around
the festive board" Thanks will
be given on that day for many
things. But going hack to the
turkey. He. probably is the only
one not thankful and We write
the rhyme found. in a Juvenile
book:
Il think the only person that
Is sorry that the Pilgrims came,
Is our great turkey, bold and
fat.
And really he's not much to
blame"
