CANNIBALISM
CURED ADDING
SALT TO FEED
Habit Along With Feather Pick.
ing Stops When Birds Get
Taste OF Salt

yCannibalism and feather picking,
vices that sometimes develop to prof
it stealing proportions in Maryland
poultry flocks, may be cured by add
ing an extra 2 to 4 percent Of salt to
the ration, according to Wade H. Rice
specialist in Poultry for the Universi-
ty of Maryland Extension Service.
He says that this salt treatment has
been tested with success by the u. s.
Department Of Agriculture and
number of the state experiment sta
tions. - r~e.
If an all-mash diet is being fed, 2
percent of salt should be added, but
if both mash and grain are fed, a.
bout percent of salt should be mixed
with the mash. Easier than figuring
actual percentages is the equally ef-
fective method of sprinkling a thin
layer of salt on top of the mash by
hand or salt shaker-just enough to
be seen.
Usually feather picking and canni-
balism will stop soon after the birds
get a taste of the salt, but in some
cases it may be necessary to add salt
to the mash this way for 2 or 3 days.
In unusual instances, when the addi-
tion of salt fails to curb the vice af-
ter three days, it may be necessary to
trim back to the quick, about IA inch,
each chickens beak. This may be
done with sharp knife or hot solder
ing iron.
Mr.. Rice emphasizes that the salt

the question of new building for
the Elementary School, Mr.. William
L. Bennett was appointed Chairman
of a committee to promote interest
in securing new Elementary school.
It was pointed out that this project
can be successful only when those
who desire the new school, talk about
it and even demand it. All who were
present were urged to sign petition
asking for a new Elementary School
for Pocomoke. Mrs. Clarke, as Presi-
dent, was the first to sign the petit
tion; which is to be formally drawn
up at later date by the Chairman
of the Committee.
Yearbooks for the Association and
membership cards were presented to
all new members.
The program featured the topic,
"The Citizens and Homes of Pocomo-
ke City," with the Mayor and City
Council as invited guests. Mr.. Eben
Hearne, an authority on local his
tory, traced the growth of Pocomoke
from early times. He stressed the
changes in names of the settlement,
until in 1878, the town was called Po-
comoke, "after this old river that
flows by" He also named the early
street boundaries and mentioned the
early schools of the town. DR.. J. T.
Mock of the City Council, read mes
sage from the Mayor, who was un-
able to attend the meeting. The re-
creation program for the town was
clearly outlined in his letter. The
concluding number was reading by
Mrs. Willard Stevenson on the impor-
tance of home life in the development
of the child. Perhaps, the keynote Of
her selection can be quoted: Defend
the home as a main line Of defense"
For the second consecutive time the
pupils in Miss Ross room earned the
prize in attendance.
This meeting is an example of the
program that has been carefully
planned for the year, centered on the
theme, "Our Town." The topic for the
next meeting, to be held on Thursday
evening, December II, is The Gull
tural Influences Of Pocomoke."

through better living conditions as
we'll as medical care.
"We have gone a long way, but
we have long hard fight ahead of
us, before the task will be accomplish
ed and it will need the hard work and
help of every means within our pow
er. The picture on this years seal, of
a light house with it's great beacon
throwing light into unseen rocks and
dangers and showing the way to safe
harbors, symbolizes the way in which
science and skilled care are helping
to combat the dangers of tuberculosis.
with the seals costing only a PEN
ny a piece, every one of us, can have
a share in this fight. Last years sale
of the Christmas seals was the most
successful in the long history of: the
State tuberculosis Association. If we

even better. Let's make it a real Vic

cess Anne, on the way to Easton.
Senator Dudley G.. Roe, of Queen
Anne Co., was present and claimed
that Jimmy Foxx got his start with
the Sudlersville high school team,
and called attention to the fact that
Foxx' father and mother were pres
ent and these were introduced.
Governor O'Conor was unable to be
present, but sent a representative

Chief Executive.

prevention Of tuberculosis. The ma
tion-wide sale-the thirty-fifth annu-
al one-opens a few. days after
Thanksgiving and continues until the
end Of December.
The sale in Maryland will be con-
Quoted, as usual, under the direction
of the State tuberculosis Association.
The money derived from the sale Of
the seals will be used to finance the
various activities conducted jointly by
the State, Baltimore City and County
Health Departments and the Tubercu-
losis Association.
"It would be difficult to estimate
the number of people in Maryland
who have benefited either directly OF
indirectly through the special services
made possible in the thirty-five years
since the seals have been used as a
source of revenue" DR.. Riley contin-
ued, in urging everybody to lay in a
generous supply of the little stickers
"Last year, for example, nearly 5000
people attended the clinics held in the
counties and many more were reached
through the services in Baltimore
City, but far beyond that number
were benefited through, follow-up SER
vices in the homes of persons i'll with
the disease or who have been in con-
tact with it; through activities in the
schools; and in countless other ways.
"Both sickness and deaths from tu-
berculosis have been greatly reduced
in Maryland in the last thirty-five
years. There were 2,610 deaths from
the disease in the State in 1906; last
year-1940-there were only half as
many, 1902. In 1905, tuberculosis
was responsible for one death in ev-
cry eight from all causes and at all
ages; last year it was responsible for
one death in every IL in the State.
These changes have been brought a.
bout by the combined work of all a.
gencies, public and private, and

tive. In other words, steady diet
with more than the usual amount Of
salt is no assurance against further
outbreaks of cannibalism. One treat
ment should check it for period of
2 weeks to 5 or 6 months, and should
be repeated if the vice starts again.

$3.50, 900 Released
For Pilot Truininq

Representative Stefan. Repubn-
can, of Nebraska said yesterday he
had learned that the Budget Bu-
reau has released another $3.50 900
of impounded funds for civilian pilot
training. The bureau had origi-
nally impounded s2,400ooo OF the
C. P. T. funds but had released
100000 of that amount when the
Army asked the Civil Aeronautics
Authority to train 400 pilots for
ferry service.
Representative Stefan objected to
impounding the c. P. T. funds on
the ground that it would result in
reducing primary pilot training
more than 80 per cent. He said
yesterday that with the release OF
the $530,000 it means that 10 per
cent of the primary training will
have to be eliminated. He is urg-
ing that all of the impounded
funds for c. P. T. be released on the
grounds that pilots are needed bad
ly, and that impounding will injure
the national defense program.
