Poetic justice counts for little

tickled they couldn't have gone to
sleep. It seemed a bit odd.
That in two successive years Sank
Centre should have busted the
props out from under Melrose when
things really counted. The start
ling factor is that boys on both
teams were the same both years.
At Melrose Ahles and Moore were
lost. To Sank Centre only Walker
was missing from the lineup. :.
Matched so evenly last year it was
painful, these same teams this year
were a long way from an even keel.

Total $1,158 $2,265
Observe that the farmer of 1910
could sell his wheat, buy the
equipment listed above, and be
left with a small balance.
But the farmer of 1938-who,
despite billions in subsidies, re-
ceived less for his wheat even in
terms of dollars and cents-found
his actual buying power diminish
ed by nearly 80 per cent. Having
surrendered the entire proceeds
from the sale of his wheat, he
would still have found it necessary
to contract a debt of $1,269 in or
der to buy the things that his
predecessor bought.
This is the problem. The solu-
ton is not in subsidies. They have
been tried. Regulation, restriction
and RECOMMENDATION have also been
tried. All have failed. The noun
tain still refuses to go to Mohom-
med. But if we can't lift farm
prices, can we possibly get other
prices-prices of things the farm
err buys-down to a fairer level?
Well, some dispute it, but at least
no one may say that this method
has failed. 1t is the one method we
have not had the courage to try"
Frankly, 1 for one, cannot figure
out the reason for the tremendous
advances in the price of farm
machinery. All farm machinery,
including tractors, are on the free
list. That is, they may be shipped
into this country without paying
an import tax. cannot understand
why highly industrialized England,
Germany and Belgium do not go
into the manufacturing of farm
machinery for the American mar
ket. Neither can I understand why
the price of prison-made machinery
has kept pace with the price
charged by the American manu-
facturers Of farm machinery. True,
the Federal Trade Commission has
made an exhaustive study of the
subject but the fact nevertheless
remains that the farmer is paying
the price.

POULTRY


Q. What is the best breed of
chicks? How many should I get?
A. There Is no best breed. Select
the breed that you like the best,
the one that you enjoy working
with and select breeds from strains
and families that you have reason
to believe are good producers and
healthy stock. Long INABILITY and
high egg production are inherited.
Therefore it pays to select good
stock.
Buy only as many chicks as you
can house and care for comfort
ably. 1t does not pay to overcrowd.
@. How many chicks should put
under one hover in a house 10 by
IL?
A. Not more than 300. For a
house II by IA one may use as
high as 400 chicks. One should
never have more than 400 chicks
under one hover. There is less
mortality when fewer chicks are
raised under each hover.
Q. How shall I arrange brooding
quarters in long house?
A. Partition the house either with
wire netting or with boards so
that you have a number of smaller
units, say about 10 in. by II in.
Put a brooder stove in each pen
and raise not over $50 chicks
around each stove. Three hundred
is better.
@. What shall I do to prepare
before the chicks come?
A. At least two days before the
chicks are to arrive clean the
house thoroughly and then disin-
feet and fumigate. Set the stove,
light it and let it lun for at least
twenty-four hours to regulate it
properly before the chicks are put
in.
O. What is the best temperature
for raising chicks?
A. A thermometer at the edge of
the hover two inches from the floor
should read between 80 and 95 de-
grees depending upon the weather
conditions outside. The room tenn
perature should be about 70 degrees.
@. How soon should the tempera-
ture be reduced?
| A. Reduced three or four degrees
every week until the chicks are six
weeks old.
@. Is it necessary to use a wire
netting around the hover?
A. In cold weather it is quite nee
essary to use wire netting placed
from two to three feet from the
hover. This will keep the chicks
close to the stove and teach them
the source of heat.
@. Is there danger from overhead
ing chicks?
A. Yes. Overheating is one of the
most serious conditions that lead
to trouble and is frequently a pre-
dominating cause.
Q. Can yolks be cooked in the
chick?
A. No. Even thought the chicks
are overheated yolks are not cook
ed because the heat does not gel
high enough.
@. What does it mean when cook
ed-like yolks are found in the
chicks?
A. 1t means that something ha!
happened to ferment the yolk rath
err than cook it. This is brough
about by infection and by intestine
inflammation.

Elect Peace Advocate

Ordinarily the election of Pope
Is primarily Of interest to those
who belong to the Catholic church
but in these unsettled times it be-
comes a matter of prime import
ance to all the human family be-
cause no other individual can
WELD so much influence toward
preserving peace.
To me it was very gratifying
that the college of cardinals elect
ed such an outstanding apostle Of
peace and good will among nations
as Cardinal Pacelli, whose election
was announced last Thursday
evening. He has dedicated his
reign to world peace. In a short
radio message to the world he
said,
Peace means mutual under
standing and cordial collaboration
in the great human family for true
progress and civilization. We hope
for peace, for that peace for which
our predecessor prayed and for
which he offered his life to God"
In these troubled times Pope
Plus XII will be a great force for
the preservation of peace, and it
is to be hoped that he will be able
to influence the policies of those
statesmen whose continuance in
power depends largely upon armed
force.
