MOSCOW, October 21.-Soviet Rus
sia, determined to force supply OF
aid to beleaguered Spanish Social
lists, has decided only the immediate
dispatch of munitions can save Ma
drid, informed sources said today.
Soviet commissars were represented
as having taken strong stand for
rushing airplanes to the desperately
driven Spanish government forces.
The Russian government, these
sources said, has resolved not to yield
an inch further in delaying counter
measures against alleged violations of
Spanish neutrality by Fascist powers.
"Gravest" Days Seen.
Oficials did not hesitate to express
privately the feeling that these are
the "gravest' days Europe has seen
in many years.
They are determined, they said. to
adopt a firm stand as the only way
to preserve European peace.
Overnight hundreds of thousands
of bright -colored posters blazed up
In the Russian capital.
Hands off Spain!" they said.
The printed demand, obviously
aimed at alleged Fascist and Nazi
interference in Spain, led to renewed
clamor by Soviet workers for the
Russian government to supply arms
Immediately to siege threatened
Madrid.
While only the top men at the
Kremlin know details of the decision
taken by the government, enough in
formation has seeped down TO indicate
Dictator Joseph Stain feels Europe
is rapidly drifting toward war-and
the time to make Russia's voice felt
Is now.
officials expressed belief all is to
be gained and nothing lost by taking
a strong stand against the Soviet's
natural" enemy-Germany.
For unless Great Britain and France
can be aroused from what is regarded
here as 'lethargy," it is felt only
matter of time, not far distant, before
Nazi troops will cross the Soviet
border to realize the hope expressed
IN Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler's recent
speech at Nurnberg, these sources as
serted.
1n that declaration, Hitler cast
envious eyes at the fertile fields and
rich mines of the Soviet. Outlining
what Germany would do "if we had
the Urals. if we possessed Siberia, if
we had the Ukraine"
Whatever happens in the Spanish
war, an authoritative spokesman said,
Russia will continue to recognize only
the present Madrid government-even
If the seat of government should be
transferred to Barcelona or the Presi-
dent and his cabinet should flee Spain.

anybody can go and return, Mr..
Musgrave says, without elaborate and
costly preparations, with caches OF
supplies along the route.
The neighboring Navajos never

vague, superstitious dread and partly
because they are by no means so well

within comparatively few years that
many Navajos have had shoes with

The black desert Is due to an
ancient stream of lava from lofty
Mount Taylor, although its nearest
point is about 20 miles from the foot
Of this eminence. But the intervening
structure Is of the same formation
covered by a few inches Of soil. Ac-
cording to the Navajo legend Mount

whose breaths were death-dealing
gusts of fire. This demon continued
monarch of the land until two folk
heroes challenged and killed him. His
black blood flowed down between the
mesas and became rock as 1t dried.
That is why the desert looks so much
like dried blood. Even the formation
Is shredded, bloodlike. AS the great
demon was slain some Of his blood
spattered over the landscape for
100 miles around, as is evidenced by
occasional black lava formations
through the broad San Jose Valley.
Accentuating the weirdness Of the
place, the nearest human neighbors

Mexican village OF San Rafael. 4 or
5 miles from the entrance. This is
a village of that strange, secret re-

crucifix-topped churches are closed to
all outsiders and who, in frenzies
of emotionalism, are said to lash
themselves and each other nearly to
death ON certain feast days. One Of
their reputed practises is to have one
of their number carry q heavy cross
on his shoulders into the hills, while
his co-religionists scourge him every
step. Where he falls from exhaustion
there the cross is set up. The San
Jose Valley is strewn with the strange
graveyards of the Penitentes, the
graveStones covered with wooden
canopies. San Rafael is one OF their
chief towns.

Support Of q theory that some hu-

$7OO,ODO,ODO BILL
FOR ?. v. A. LIKELY
Drafters Say Measure Will
"Be No Surprise" to
Roosevelt.
RY CARLISLE BARGERoN.

Although President Roosevelt In
his recent message to Congress only
asked for $1,5oo, 100000 for relief dur
ing the fiscal year beginning June
so, there is growing belief that
$700, ,0Oo, 900 may be added by Con-
gress for Secretary IckeS' P. w. A.
In the House, Representative Cart
wright Of Arkansas, and in the SEN
ate, Senator Hayden of Arizona, have
prepared measures calling for the
additional $7OO,000.00O and the plan
Is to tack it onto the relief appro-
priation when 1t comes up. There Is
little doubt that it will go through
and the expectation on the part of
Its sponsors Is that it will be accept
able to the President.
Contractors Brighten.
Considerable surprise was occa-
stoned when Mr.. Roosevelt made his
relief budget public without any pro-
vision for carrying on Ickes' incom-
pleted P. w. A. projects. There was
comment at the time that Ickes had
not been called in to participate in
any of the conferences which pre-
ceded the budget and which Harry
Hopkins, w. P. A. administrator, did
attend. Strangely enough, however.
contractors concerned in such mat
ters learned within a few days that
they had nothing to worry about, that
there would be an appropriation for
p. w. A.
House and Senate influences, asked
II the $1,000 900 additional appro-
priation had Mr.. Roosevelt's approval
IN advance, said they wouldn't put 1t
exactly this way, but that the appro-
priation would not surprise him.
New Strategy Visioned.
In this connection it was recalled
that the House only a few days ago
'revolted" on Mr.. Roosevelt's pro-
posal to reduce the size of the c. G. C..
in the interest of economy. 1t was a
revolt in which no friendships were
lost.
This episode, together with the way
In which Ickes' funds are to be han
died, gives the impression that new
strategy has been adopted in the mat
ter of appropriations. Mr.. Roosevelt
has been widely represented as con-
cerned over the attacks on the ad-
ministration's spending policies. AS
a result he has made several economy
gestures. One was when he Cancelled
the borrowing authorizations Of three
agencies, authorizations which the
agencies did not intend to use.
S2,200,00O,000 Urged.
In the matter of the relief budget,
he was pressed to ask for $4,000, ,000,-
900. The National Conference of
Mayors, which has come to be one Of
the most persistent lobbies, insisted
upon the S2,200, 100000 figure.
Throughout the budget conferences,
however, Mr.. Roosevelt was repre-
scented as anxious to keep the amount
down, and his subsequent request for
50O,000,000 was accepted as evi-
dence that he had done it.

Noting and Production

The length of time a bird is out
of production can be estimated by
the melting of the primary or large
wing feathers, according to writer
in the Indiana Farmers Guide. It
requires about six weeks to COM
pletely renew the primary feather
next to the axial (small feather in
center of wing between primaries
and secondaries) feather. The re-
manning primaries are dropped in
order, about two weeks apart and
grow in at the same rate. Occasion
ally bird sheds several primaries
at one time, which in estimating
length of time out of production
should be treated as a single
primary.

Poultry Gleanings

The size, shape and color of a
hen does not affect the eggs.
Feather picking usually starts as
q vice in closely confined birds.
The yolk of the egg is employed in
making the finer kind of tawed
leather.
The total number of cooperative
poultry and egg marketing associa-
tons in the United States is 154.
Oats or barley, when ground, may
be substituted advantageously for
corn in rations for chicks and laying
hens.
II chickens are given clean, whole
some feed the eggs are superior in
flavor to those provided with in
ferior or spoiled feed.
Fowls that have been recently vac
cinated can transmit cmcken-poX TO
susceptible birds with which they
are associated.
Chicken lice bite the birds rather
than suck blood. Mites suck blood.
A clean range is conducive to the
production of disease-and-parasite-
clean chickens.
The difference in the color of the
yolks of chicken eggs Is controlled
largely by the feed.
Geese, like ducks, win start lay
ing at almost any time Of year
provided conditions are right.

Wild Turkeys Nuisance,
According to Accounts

20
Account books of 100 years ago
and earlier show that the domestic
turkeys were then very small. The
average weight of those sold in Bos-
ton was seven to eight pounds, &C.
cording to a writer in the Boston
Herald.
There was, as told in Bentley's
Dairy, afarmer and innkeeper named
William Breed, at Nahant, early in
the Nineteenth century, who had
domesticated wild turkeys which
when dressed weighed IA to 16
pounds each. These were sold in the
holiday season at Salem.
At New London and Norwich, c.,
in the district which includes parts
of that state and Rhode Island, the
turkeys were commonly 10 to II
pounds, and some heavier, up to
IA pounds. This is the area long
famous for Rhode Island turkeys, -
Westerly in that state being the
great shipping point.
Ohio settlers from New England
in 1905 and for several years after
found the wild turkeys there a nui-
sance. It is recorded that at the
first seeding of wheat the wild tur-
keys were so bold that some sewers
had to stop and drive them from the
neighborhood. One woman trapped
about two dozen in the corncrih
by strewing shelled corn about il
and leaving the door open.

POULTRY
YOUNG TURKEY HEN
BEST FOR BREEDER
Birds Under Two Years Are
Most Desirable.

Recent turkey breeding studies
conducted by University of Califor-
MIA poultrymen indicate that it is
not desirable to use turkey hens OF
more than two years of age as
breeders.
This six-year study on the age OF
turkey breeders and the resulting
progeny showed that average egg
production decreased from 1855 eggs
the first year to 49.5 eggs the second
laying year. Production the third
and fourth years was A eggs, while
only 27.6 eggs were produced the
fifth year. ,..
Although production decreased
with the age of the turkeys, it was
found that the fertility of eggs did
not change significantly with age.
Hatchability of eggs decreased after
the second year.
The eggs laid in the second year
were larger than those produced
the first year. Poults Matched from
the larger eggs were larger at
Matching time, but there was little
difference in sizes of birds at 16
weeks of age. Mortality was a trifie
higher among the progeny of the
year-old hens than among those of
the two-year-old hens.
