CHICK DISEASE is
COSTLY TO FARMER
Cleanliness Urged as Best
Method of Control.

euppV Versi Ry Of 1ilinois.EWN6 Service.
The best way to fight coccidiosis,
one of the most widespread para
site diseases of young chickens, is
to practice rigid sanitary measures
and thus prevent its getting a
start in the flock.
During the early summer farmers
are likely to spend considerable
money for remedies recommended
in the treatment of coccidiosis.
However, it is pointed out that al
though many treatments have been
tried and advocated for curing the
disease, the opinion of poultry in
vestigators is that none of these
treatments is effective.
Daily cleaning and disinfecting
of the brooder house and poultry
yards is recommended for prevent
ing the spread of the disease, the
acute form of which often causes
death among birds up to two months
of age.
A well-balanced diet supplement-
ed by generous amount OF green
feed is important for building up
the birds resistance to coccidiosis.
Feeding of a mash containing 40
per cent dried skim milk or butter
milk has been advocated generally
as being effective in protecting
young chickens from infection. Since
results from the use of milk have
not been entirely consistent, it can
not be recommended as cure
for the disease.
Coccidiosis is easily recognized
by such symptoms as ruf1ed feath-
ers, pallor, rapid emaciation and
bloody droppings.
The disease is spread by contain
nation of the feed, water and soil
with droppings of fowls harboring
the parasites. Water, shoes, grain
sacks, or other objects may carry
the parasites. They are also spread
by birds or insects which fly from
one poultry yard to another. Rats
and mice also may serve as car
riers of the organisms.

One Crop Dairy Farmer

zone crop" Harry Norton, as he
is called by his neighbors around
Adelphia, N. j., is dairy farmer
who threw out all his plows and
went into grassland farming. Nor
ton feeds his herd grass, IL months
of the year. Half the year the cat
tie are in pasture, and the other
half they eat grass silage and
early-cut hay. Grass silage i'm
proves the cows appearance, keeps
color in their milk. Early-cut tim
othy gives heifers more body than
alfalfa, he finds. II let some west
ern farmer raise the grain I need"
says Norton. Cali 1 do is spread
manure and cut hay. 1t saves Ia
Dor and machinery and reduces the
cost of producing milk. THE Coun,

Nest Talk

The common poultry house nest
has an open entrance from the
front, but fewer eggs would be bro
ken and less adult cannibalism
would occur if dark entrance were
provided from the rear, says writ
er in Hoard's Dairyman. This
change can usually be accomplished
by setting the present nests out
from the wall with legs and wall
supports and l by 4-inch board walks
resting on the wall supports. The
front should then be closed with a
hinged board which enables gather
ing of the eggs from the front. The
nest should be IA inches square
and IL inches high.

Culling the Cockerels

Where cockerels are to be saved
for breeders, the first culling should
be made when from eight to twelve
weeks old, says Hoard's Dairyman.
For best results the flock should
be culled continuously and all
through the growing period the
birds should be watched carefully
and any cockerels showing poor
development or lacking in vitality
should be discarded. The first Gull
ing of pullets may be made at the
same time.

be-s of planes comes its little bro
ther. obsolescence,n Johnson said.
when the Baker board was con-
templating the air force. the fabric
lined plane and its power plant
could not give useful effort Tor
more than five years. Today, with
the Fl-metal plane and vastly I'M
proved engine. we have already
materially raised our Inc expee-
fancy.
Johnson said the greatest need
of the air force at present was
that of trained personnel.
Ships that were formerly oper-
ated by two flyers now take five
and even nine" he said. Ground
crews that serviced one engine to-
day must take care of two or four.
The multiplicity of instruments and
wiring is staggering. 1t Is here that
we have run into our choked point
in the air corps. The war depart
ment, however, is in full control
of procurement problem. We know
we can produce the plans. What
gives us greatest concern today Is
not procurement. Is Is personnel.

1--WE are greatly encouraged to
believe that American industry Is
capable Of carrying a major war
load and with proper education will
accomplish its mission with min
imum of dislocation to its own
plants and with maximum use
fulness not only to the efforts OF
the men at the front but with a
full regard for the needs of a solid
civilian front behind the lines
Johnson said.
The assistant secretary took eX-
ception to those who criticise the
army air corps.
Numerous critics." he said, both
foreign and domestic, offer sage
appraisals of its powers and limita-
tions. I will say that the alien
critics seem the most generous ir
their estimates. The most noted
has recently stated that our aerial
fighting force is as potent as any
in existence"
The present program, he said, was
started four years ago when a COM
mittee headed by the late Newton
d. Baker recommended that the nu-
merical strength be fixed at 2,32C
ships. The program was regulated
to reach a climax in actual de-
livery of planes in 1888 and 1899
bringing the air force to full
strength by 1910.

AT last, America is on the road

better prepared, perhaps, than ever
before in our history, but we must

Fifty per cent of our armys de-

Curt1Z, whose latest Smash nlU
is Robin Hood" and who currently
is making SISTER Act" said he
thought the fantastic wages paid
top stars were unjust, demoralizing
and unnecessary.
I'm trying to line up a cast now
for 'Maximilian,' he said.
II thought first of getting Fred
ric March to play the leading part
in it, His agent said he would cost
$250,000. March is a fine actor, but
he's not worth that. Nobody is.
So I went after another lesser star,
and his agent said he would charge
$50 900. Think of that. 100000 for
only a few weeks work! He isn't
worth any such sum-"
CurtiZ said that as soon as
player started to get an astronomi-
cal salary, he usually began to
think that he was indispensable
around the studio
Truth is the more he makes
the less he's worth" Curtiz said.
"The moral effect of his wages on
the other people in the cast Is
terrific, while his big ambition
seems to be to collect his checks
instead of to turn in a great per-
formance.
mot that I blame the actors
| themselves, so much. The people
| I blame are the agents, who al
ways are trying to raise wages 50
they'll get bigger commissions, and
the producers, who always are cut
ting each others throats."
Curtiz named one of Hollywood S
! biggest film makers as man who
issued a statement one day de-
ploring present star salaries and
who made a secret agreement next
day with a big-time player, Turing
him away from his studio with
offers of a veritable fortune every
time he stepped before the cameras.
His statement on star wages came
as an interlude to one of the hot
test snow storms we ever felt, as
directed by the sweating Curtiz.
The day was one of the WarmeSt of
the year. Inside the stage a blizzard
ragged.
The snow consisted of corn flakes
fluttering down. The slugh on the
sidewalks was corn flakes, gypsum
salt and water. The frost on the
windows was white lacquer, spray
ed on with a gun.
The scene was at small town
railroad station. A couple of the
Lane sisters were arriving via pull
man. Two solid steel cars were on
the tracks. They looked authentic
They were. The studio bought them
from the Pullman company fol
just such scenes as this.
The cars rolled up to the station
with imitation steam putting from
below, but there was no steam en-
gines for miles around. A winch al
the end of the stage provided the
motive power. 1t could pull Warn
ers' passenger train only 20 feet
but that was enough for artistic
purposes.
