Gives Hints To
Turkey Growers
Good Management And SAM
tatiOn Are Important, Says
Expert

Successful turkey production
depends upon saving and grow
ing to- maturity a large number
of poults from each brood start
ed, according to c. ]. Maupin,
extension poultryman at State
College.
Since good management and
strict sanitation are highly i'm
portant in turkey production,
most successful turkey growers
use artificial incubation and
brooding methods, because SAM
tation can be more easily control
led.
Most of the turkey crop is pro-
duced between February and
June, the normal breeding sea-
son. In general farm flocks, an
average of 10 to Is mature birds
may be secured from each tur-
key hen used in the spring
breeding pen. Where special care
and attention are employed, it
may be possible to grow 20 to
Is turkeys from each hen.
Where eggs are set under hens
or in an incubator, the first re-
quirement for successful hatch
ing is fresh eggs. If hens are
confined to a small yard or
range, and this is a good turkey
practice, the eggs should be
gathered twice daily. They should
be stored in a well-ventilated
room or cellar with preferred
temperature of SO to so degrees
If they are to be kept longer
best hStching results, the eggs
should not be kept more than II
days.
Where hovers are used in the
brooding house, the temperature
should be kept around 80 to g.
degrees at the hover edge fol
several days, or the genera
house temperature should be a
least 70 to rs degrees near thu
floor. The exact temperature i
of minor importance if the poult
are kept comfortable and gooc
ventilation maintained. Feedin!
the poults may be much the same
as for baby chicks.

PACFYING AN ENEMY

Not long ago Cameron Shipp,

mountains of Macon County,
North Carolina. It was his first
visit among the mountain people,
and he didn't realize they had a
code of ethics all their own.
He saw mountaineer brought
in for trial. The state claimed
that that mountaineer had set fire
to the woods. With him came his
friends and relatives ready to
fight at the drop of the hat. Some
had walked 20 miles over the
mountains.

His brief gesture ordered the
others out of the room. Lee
closed the door after them.
All trace of Lees anger went
with the closing of the door, but
a numbing constraint took place.

Spring ArriUes
 At 1924 O'Clock
 Wednesday PM

It's hard to beleive, but the facts, cold ones, too, are that Spring will arrive officially in Waterbury promptly tomorrow afternoon at 1924. Ordinarily the first day of Spring and the 21st of March are thought of in the same breath. This year it's different and March 20 gets the honor of ending Winters long siege and producing Springs first breath. Everyone
 hopes it's a warm one.
 Technically the first day of Spring comes with the vernal
 equinox. which is that precise
 moment when the sun crosses the equator and day and night everywhere are of equal dura- tSph The same condition pre- | Hails in September also, that
 occurrence being termed the
 apthlnnal equinox.
 There was an unf0unded ru. l11Or i'm many parts of the na-
