STATE SHEEPMEN GETTING
READY FOR The BREEDING

Many Maryland sheepmen are pre-
pairing for the breeding season by
"fTushing" their ewes, according to
James B. Clubhouse, instructor in ami
NAL husbandry at the University of
Maryland. He explains that flushing
consists of feeding the ewes little
extra grain or turning them on new
pasture of clover seeding or temper
AIRY forage crop, such as rape. This
process, he says, results in an in
crease of flesh.
When grain is fed, this specialist
states that about one-fourth pound of
corn per head daily is given the
ewes for a period of two weeks prior
10 the breeding season and continued
until all of the ewes are bred.
Mr.. Clubhouse says that experience
has shown that flushing results in
greater number of twins producet
and also q shorter breeding season
as the ewes tend to come in heat soon
or. They will usually be bred durinl
the first heat period, he adds, thu
producing earlier lambs and shorte
lambing period in the spring.
Many Maryland farmers, desir
lambs born in late December an
early January, Mr.. Clubhouse states
due to the fact that the earlier maj
keted lambs command higher price
and also run less chance of infectio
from flies and internal parasites tina
do later lambs.
To produce these early lambs, it
stated, Maryland sheepmen mus
start their breeding season by Al
gust 1.

AMERICA LACS
IN DEFENSE OF
GOOD HEALTH

America is tagging in a vital de-
tense effort-the health of its people
Earl r. French, marketing direc-
tor of the Atlantic Commission Com
pany, A & P's produce-buying affil-
late, disclosed last week.
Outmoded methods Of distribution
whereby a surplus of middlemen in
crease the cost of food to the con-
sumer, are preventing many of the
country's 45,0O0,0O0 undernourished
from obtaining fresh fruits and vege-
tables and other vitamin-rich foods,
Mr.. French said, speaking in a nation
wide broadcast.
"There is something lacking in our
system of moving fruits and vege-
tables from the farm to dinner table
something vitality necessary to meet
the tremendous demands of Defense"
French said. '"That is efficiency.
Much of our food must pass through
too many hands and many Of these
in-between stages have long since out
lived their usefulness. This ineffi-
cheney boosts the price to the con-
sumner out of proportion to the price
paid the grower. Consequently, it is
impossible in too many instances for
the people of low income to get the
food they should have to maintain
health-health vitality important to
meet the stress of emergency condi-
ti0ns."
AS an example of how increased eff
ficiency by distributors benefits both
producers and consumers, he cited i'm
proved methods which enabled A & P
to return to it's fruit and vegetable
growers in 1910 IL per cent greater
share of the consumers dollar than
in 1887 and, at the same time, afford
ed the company's customers the low
est food prices in relation to its costs
in it's 82-year history.
Mr.. French, former instructor of
marketing at New York University,
cited the report that one in every 10
men examined in the draft, were re-
jected because of disabilities trace
able to one cause-poor nutrition.
The greatest deficiencies of the nation
al diet are in fruits and vegetables, he
declared.
"The governments nutritionists
have determined that 45,000,000 or
our people do not eat the right foods.
They say we should consume at least
twice as many green vegetables and
fruits; 20 per cent more tomatoes and
citrus fruits; IS per cent more eggs;
20 per cent more milk and Is per cent
more Butter"
Many Americans "just don't know
what good, nutritive meal is. Their
eating habits are wrong" French
added. He cited the recent program
n augurated by the government in
I'M ch educational agencies, food
chain = and the medical profession are
cooperA ting, promoting wider use of
fruits an d vegetables, for use at table
and for ca ming against the winter.
