vic en- la necesidad de apelar in
mediatamente a posibles candi-

en- Adrla Delhort. la artista que
Sc distingui6 tanto en- "Silencio
Sublime" Y que dicho sea entire
parentesis, aparenta, cuando me-
nos, ser mucho mas joven de la
sefora Montoya.
FL comentario que podemos
hacer nosotros es que un artis-
ia verdadero no debe fijarse en-
edades para la election de sus
interpretations. pues es mas
meritorio que un joven encarne
ell papel de un viejo, que un hom-
bre sobrio interprete un BORA

SUSSEX co. LEADS In
BROILER RAISING
Ten To Fourteen Million Head Are
Produced annually


Sussex county, beyond a doubt. is
one Of the leading poultry counties
in the United States. During the
past ten years this phase Of farming
has become the major source Of in
come for our farmers. Due to the
favorable soil conditions, climate
and nearness to city markets II is
likely that poultry will continue to
be major source Of farm income.
Previous to 1927, the poultry bus
mess Of the county eentered about
the production Of white eggs for
markets and hatcheries. At about
that time few leghorn growers
tried a few Barred Rocks for winter
brOilers and found them to be very
profitable. Nelghbors. who finding il
somewhat difficult to grow good leg
horn pullets saw these big profits
and soon changed to brOilers. By
1880, 500 or more OF the poultry
men in the county had changed to
brOilers. This growth has eontinu-
ed until now Sussex county is prob
ably the largest brOiler producing
section In the United States. No ac-
curate figures are available as to the
of brOilefs produced an
nually in this county but estimates
by those who are best informed
range from ten TO fourteen million
head.
There are still rapid changes be-
Ing made in this industry and some

Your car will jump ahead and run

the clutch out, YOU release the en-
