Senior Play

The Senior Play, Growing Pains"
was scheduled to be held Friday
night, the 22nd of April. However,
such a large crowed turned out that
many were given their money back
and the play was given over the
following Monday night. While, due
to the lack of advertising for that
night only small crowd came, we
feel that the play has been notable
success.
The money taken in totaled $751;
90. The profit made on the play was
1900. This money will be added to
the Senior class treasury and will
be spent for the class picnic and
other class interests. What money
the class does not use will be left
to the school treasury.
The large cast (Which included
eighteen speaking roles) performed
it's parts well. The success of the
play was largely due to Miss Nutter's
hard work in planning the setting
and coaching the cast.
Mr.. Rinehart and an orchestra pro-
vided music between acts and be-
fore the play.

Revere Silver

Revere was the greatest early
American silversmith. At nineteen
he took over his fathers business.
Most of the Revere silver in exist
ence was either of his manufacture
or made under his personal super
vision. The design was based on
English Georgian style of the Eight
eenth century, characterized by
greater simplicity of decoration and
beauty of proportion than is usually
found in English work. Revere sill
yer is equal to the best plate of
any country of that period. The tea
and coffee sets are among the finest
examples of any period of the silver
smiths art.

EDITORIAL

How many of US have spring
fever these hot, dreamy days! Espec-
tally where school work is concern
ed. 1t is hard to work an algebra
problem or do a French assignment
when the weather is calling US out
of-doors.
But although the call Of the
weather is irresistible, and although
we shouldn't even try to resist its
appeal, we must remember that
that school work must be done. At
ter all, the main purpose of school is
to teach us something. 1t Is for that
that our parents pay taxes. II we
gaze abstractedly out the window in
stead of paying attention we are
defeating this purpose.
We long to start our summer
activities now-we wish that school
were over. But there is still much to
be done, still much to learn, before
we leave for the year. The time is
really growing short, SO let us deter
mine to make the most Of ito
make the last few weeks weeks of
profit. Doing so, the time will pass
even more quickly and we will look
back on these days as a time OF
pleasure!

TEST SHOWS VALUE
OF COMPLETE FEED
FOR GROWING BIRDS
Well Developed Pullets Turn
in $68 More Profit.

Gray Summit, Moan old proverb
laments that "one half of the world
never knows how the other half lives"
This is particularly true of growing
pullets as demonstrated in test here
at the Purina Experimental Farm last
year.
Two hundred sturdy, well-developed
six weeks old pullets were selected for
the experiment. All birds were from
the same hatch and for the first six
weeks were fed on Purina Startena. At
six weeks the two hundred pullets were
as nearly alike as heredity, manage
ment, and good feeding could make
them.
At six weeks the chicks were divided,
One hundred birds were put into pen
and fed all the gain they could eat.
along with grasshoppers and bugs they
picked up on alfalfa range. The other
hundred were given all the grain they
wanted nights and mornings, but in adj
dition were given all the Purina grow
ing mash they could eat. It was kept
before them in open hoppers. These
birds were also allowed alfalfa range.
Management and housing conditions
were the same for both hocks, and each
flock was given the best sanitation.
Differences Show Early
Almost Immediately slight differ
ence in the development between the
two f1ocks began to show" G. 8. john

Peculiarities of Geese

Geese have a way Of attaching
themselves to other animals as
guardians and friends. One, in a
British wildlife collection, took up
with crane, threatening to bite
visitors or even other cranes ap-
preaching his ward. Another took
under his wing polo pony, going
every day to the pasture to "pro-
tect' it. Then there's the Chinese
goose that acquired a violent at
tachment for dog. The dog was
killed one day by another dog and
the goose chased the murderer
miles.

VEAL FEEDING PLAN
WILL NOT DEVELOP
PROFITABLE HEIFERS
Dry Feed Builds Big Frames
and Strong Bones for
Mixers.

Yet it is on the third day after a
heifer calf Is dropped that the dairy
man must decide whether she is to be
vealed or grown out as a mixer" says
w. r. Arends, head of the Calf De-
partment of Purina Mills. 1.-THE reason
dairymen must make such quick de-
cision is that the feeding plan for
growing out fine veal is not salts
factory for growing out a high pro-
ducing heifer.
I'm growing out veal calves the OBJ
ject of feeding is to make the animal
retain its baby fat and add to it all
the milk fat possible" Arends says.
"Fleshy quick growth and fat are want
ed in veals. Beef tendencies are en-
couraged. In raising veals milk or rich
fattening feeds are best. Little en-
phasis need be put ON bone, muscle,
and frame development"
Heifers Need Special Feed
But when heifer calves are to be
grown out as mixers and entirely diff
ferent system of feeding must be fol-
lowed. Growth, not fat, is the primary
objective. Beef tendencies must be
eliminated. Big husky frames with lots
of capacity are most important. At ev-
cry stage of growth the calf should re-
semble miniature COW. The only time
any fattiness should appear is 80 days
before freshening. Extra flesh is need
ed then to prevent a sharp loss in
weight after calving.
calves intended for mixers should
be taken off milk as soon as possible
and given dry feed that contains all
the essential ingredients for building
husky frames and strong bodies"
Arends recommends. "A plan to en-
tirely eliminate milk from the ration of
heifer calves after the first thirty days
has been worked out at the Purina Ex-
perimental Farm, where hundreds of
calves have been grown out to become
| part Of the Purina milking herd.
Milk First Three Days
cat the Farm calves are left with
their mothers the first three days. Dur
ing that time they get the colostral
milk from their dams. After three
days they are taken from their dams
and taught to drink water and eat dry
calf startena and hay. Milk is fed in
limited amounts. On the plan used at
the Purina Experimental Farm calves
are given two quarts of milk per day
for the first week along with starting
feed and hay"
At the beginning of the second vueetr
the amount Of milk Is increased to four
quarts. with free access to calf startena,
hay, water, and little salt. Milk Is
increased to five quarts per day the
beginning of the third week, but on the
twenty-first day is cut down to three
quarts, and after the fourth week no
milk at all is fed. After the first
thirty days, calf startena hay, little
salt, and plenty of water is the entire
ration.
Baby Fat Disappears
Between the fifth and sixth weeks
the success Of the feeding program be-
gins to show itself. The future mixer
Is seen in miniature. Baby fat begins
to disappear and the angular, straight
backed frame Of the heavy mixer
comes into evidence. BY removing
milk from the ration tendencies toward
beefiness are eliminated.
Heifers raised on this feeding pro-
gram have clean-cut Threats, sharp
withers, and large capacity-all signs
OF good mixer in the making.

partment says, "but at s months the
most amazing differences were apparent.
Birds fed on grain and Purina growing
mash were mature, strong, and sturdy
with well-developed egg-making organs
and big-frames. They were ready to go
into the laying house and start turning
out profitable, high-priced fall eggs. :"
The hundred birds fed on grain and
allowed alfalfa range were understood
and immature, knotty and scrawny.
Even though they had received the
same starting mash as the hundred
well-developed pullets; although man
agement and housing had been the
same, the ration the fully fed pullets
received during the growing period had
given them an advantage that could
not be overcome.

Why Fans Stand in Seventh Inning

Why Fans Stand in Seventh Inning
The custom of spectators at a
baseball game standing up during
part of the seventh inning is said
to have originated in the old days of
pine boards without backs that
served for seats in ball parks,
when arising and stretching about
the seventh inning was natural
result of desire to relieve cramped
muscles. Then came the notion that
it brought luck to the home team to
stretch in the seventh. This was be-
cause the number "seven" has al
ways been associated, from remote
times, with a belief that it was
"lucky" The custom simply grew,
until it has become universal.

JOURNALISM CLUB
Interscholastic Games

The last week of April found our
baseball and volley ball teams
busy. Because of the Senior play
the games against Kenmore schedul-
ed for the day Of the play, were
postponed, to be played the follow
ing Tuesday. Our teams also met
Calvert on Friday, April 18th.
These days found our volley ball
team winning twice to pull their
score up to two victories against one
defeat. This speaks well for the
teams changes ON Rally Day.
Our boys, however, broke even in
their games which gave them rec
ord of one victory against two de-
feats. Kenmore, regarded as having
weak team, went down to defeat,
1876, but it took heavy batting in
the closing innings for Rising Sun to
pull safely away. Our boys started
we'll enough but slowed down as.
Kenmore whitfield away at their
lead, until they were nearly tied.
But the Sun reopened its attack to
win going away.

Kenmore 0 10 0 4 / o o. 6
Calvert presented tougher OPPOSE
ton, upsetting tradition by beating
Rising Sun, 11-9. The loss, however,
came only after a thrilling see-saw
game that saw practically every
kind of baseball played.
The first inning ended with Ris-
ing Sun enjoying a short lived 10
lead, gained when Ned Lucas beat
out a bunt, stole second, and NOV
ed around on a couple Of infield
outs.
The second was a different story.
Hits, errors, more hits and more
errors placed Calvert ahead, 6-1, be-
fore the side was retired.
After this bad inning, Rising Sun
resumed playing good ball. Hayes
Martindale, pitching for the Sun,
did well and got good support, but
as the game entered the last half of
the eighth the Sun trailed, 7-3.
But with a sudden blast of base
hits the Sun gained on, tied, and
finally passed Calvert, Ned Lucas
doubling driving in the two runs
which seemed to put the game in the
bag. Four hits for six runs doomed
off the Suns bats during this big
inning.
Calvert, however, was not through.
With one away they put on q ninth
inning rally that, capped by Shea's
triple, Melted four runs and the
victory.

At five months both the growing
mash fed pullets and the granted pull
lets were put on the same laying ration.
The pullets fed on growing mash re-
sponded Immediately but the grain fed
pullets did not. The "roughing" they
had received from the sixth to the
twentieth week held them back. Con-
sequently the hundred scrawny pullets
did not come into production until they
were tx months old, and by the time
they were eight months old had laid
only $3.50 worth Of eggs.
Good Birds Turn In $74
The well-developed pullets grown out
on complete growing feed started lay
ing at five months. Proper feeding dur
ing the growing period had given them
big frames, strong muscles, and we'll
developed egg-making organs so that
they were in peak condition to start
laying. During the fall and early win
ter months when egg prices were high
these birds were in good production and
at the end of months had turned In
a record of STATS worth Of eggs, or
$6825 more than the under-developed
>ullets. The hundred immature, knotty
title pullets were an additional expense
In that they used their laying ration
as a growing feed after they were IN
the laying house.
"Any poultryman who feels he can
rough his pullets through the summer
Is sure to find that they rough him
back in the fall when egg prices are
high" johnson says. Grain and cheap
mash, or grain alone. can't do money
making job of growing and developing
pullets into profitable layers. A half
way job Of growing birds results In q
halfway Job of laying when they are
out into the laying house."
