CHICK HATCHERIES BIG
ENOUGH TO CROW

Ten years ago the hatchery in
dustry was supplying egg and poul-
try producers with only about a
third of their total chick require
ments. To-day, the Agricultural
Marketing Service reports, "hatch-
cry chicks make up over 70 percent
of all the chicks raised.
Further expansion in commercial
hatchings can be expected as a re-
suit of additional growth in COM
mercial egg and poultry production.
Any slackening in demand for chicks
for laying flock requirements,
brought about by the increased egg
production per layer compared with
what it has been in the past years,
will probably be taken up by the
increased demand for hatchery
chicks for broiler production. Pro-
ducers of broilers are now buying
around 20 to 80 million hatchery
chicks during the month of July to
December, inclusive, compared with
only fraction of that number dur
ing the same period few years ago.

CAP. Telephone Companies Ready To
Do Their Part In National Defense
Walter Clifford, A. T. T. President, Declares Bel
System Is Prepared To Provide Speedy Dependable
Service At All Times

The Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Companies, with over $4,000
trained employees, with mechanical
construction repair forces and with
dependable sources of manufacturing
supply, are prepared along with the
rest of the Bell Telephone System to
do their part in national defense, ac-
cording to statements made by c. and
P. officials.
In discussing the part played by the
telephone in national defense, Walter
S. Clifford, president of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
recently stated that in all essential
ways the Bell System is ready to pro-
vide speedy dependable service in nor
NAL times as well as emergencies. The
"front line"'. Of telephone defense, he
pointed out, includes those who oper-
ate equipment and plant, those who
direct these operations and the motor
lied and mechanical groups who can
be quickly concentrated anywhere in
the country.

Telephone Companies have behind
them the manufacturing skill Of the

vides them with the finest telephone
equipment made.
Research scientists and development
engineers in the Bell Telephone
Laboratories are steadily working on
equipment and methods to make tele-
phone service increasingly efficient
and dependable.
Telephone engineers, citing as part
of the first line of defense for the
telephone industry special provision
against damage to central Office equip
ment, engine driven generators for
use in case Of other power failure, and
alternate routes for long distance calls
in case of failure of any route,
declared that such preparations were
not enough should a catastrophe
break through this defense. Backing
up this defense, therefore, are plans
of action to meet any such emergency.
The supplies of materials at strategi-
cally located points, reserves Of
money to meet unusual replacement
costs, and an organization trained in
system-wide practices-all are ready
at moments notice to start restoring
the service.

FREEZING LOCKERS PASS
MILLION

More than 100000 frozen-food
lockers in more than 5000 plants
are now available to housewives in
the United States. This is an in
crease of approximately 100000
lockers in the last year, according
to survey recently completed by
the Farm Credit Administration.
About three out of every four lock-
ers now in service are used by farm
families.
Modern locker plants, with their
chilling, cutting, wrapping, grind
ing, and sharp-freezing facilities,
are product of the decade just end
ed. Since IS percent of the plants
oprating at the time of the survey
had been opened since 1895, most
of thse new plants offer rather COM
plete services.
The frozen-food locker industry
has made a phenomenal growth in
survey shows, was particularly rap
i'd from 1885 to 1889. OF the $500
plants in operation January /, 1910,
IS percent had been opened since
1895 and so percent since 1887.
Leading states in order of the num-
Der of plants in operation were
Iowa, Washington, Minnesota, and
Wisconsin The industry is now ex-
panding rapidly in several Southern
States, notably Texas, Tennessee,
Mississippi, and Alabama.
Approximately one-half of the
locker plants are owned by indivi-
duals. Commercial corporations
owned % percent, partnerships 16
percent, and Operatives. IA percent.
Ownership by commercial corpora
lions declined in Importance and
other types increased during the
years 1895 to 1889.
The report points out that indi-
vidual families in Nebraska have
used lockers for more than rs
years. Creameriees and ice plants
in the Pacific Northwest likewise
pioneered in establishing locker SER
vice, having installed lockers for
patrons following the first World
War. 1t is doubtful, says the report,
that more than SO plants in the U.
S. providde modern service prior to
1880, and these few were in the
Pacific Northwest and the western
part of the Corn Belt.

Protein Content
No Sure Sign Of
Feeding Qualities

During recent years, the idea has
grown up in the minds of many farm
ers that the protein content shown on
feed tag is sure indication of feed
ing value. 1--WE want feed with a high
protein content" many say.
However, points out E. H. Hamel,
manager of the fattening department
of Purina Mills, the protein content of
feed can be very misleading. Just
because a feed is high in protein is
no sure indication that it is high in
feeding value, he claims. Proteins, as
such, vary greatly in their ability to
meet feeding requirements.
"At the Purina Experimental Farm,
Gray Summit, Missouri, we have found
that low-protein mixed concentrate
frequently is more satisfactory for put
ting on pounds of pork or beef than one
high in protein" he reports. after
all, that's what we're most interested
in getting. It doesn't mean thing to
us if the analysis of a mixed concen-
trate shows that it is high in protein.
In fact some of the most costly ingred-
tents Of the mixed concentrates we dis
tribute nationally contain very little
protein"
Hamel compares the making Of a
good protein supplement with the man
ufacture of machine. The machinery
manufacturer, he argues, has to sell
his product on the basis of what it costs
and what it will do-not on the pounds
of iron 1t contains. In the same way,
concentrates and feeds must be sold
on the basis of what they do and what
it costs to make them rather than on
their protein content.

SOCIAL SECURITY AND THE
NEW JOB

Wages of each employee covered
by old-age and survivors insurance
are credited to his accountn~every
three months as employers reports
are received by the Social Security
Board. In nearly all instances the
employees wages are reported I'M
der and name and social security
account number as they are shown
on his account number card, and
they are added on his ledger sheet
in a matter of seconds.
However, if some discrepancy
turns up in the name or account
number, the ledger sheet will not
clear the machines used for post
ing wages. 1t is thrown to one side
and thereafter check must be
made to clear up the error.
This necessitates asking the en-
ployer to check back on his records
and frequently call on the employee
if still in his employ, to get the cor
rect information. This annoyance
and waste of time can be avoided il
the employee and employer will
take the simple precaution of seeing
that the employees correct name
and social security number are re-
ported. If the mistake cannot be
corrected, it might mean that some
of the employees wages could not
be credited to him.
Since the amount of insurance
benefits for the worker or his fam
lily will be based on his wages, it
is important that the Social Secur-
ity Boards record of his wages be
accurate and complete.

"a dairy cow eats feed by the day
and makes milk by the day." says
Meade Summers, manager of the Dairy
Department for Purina Mills. "Also
she requires about the same amount
and kind Of attention every day. That
makes it easy to figure out whether or
not she produces enough milk every day
TO pay for the cost Of her keep and also
leave profit for her owner"
To convert whole milk into pounds of
butterfat, Summers says that for Jer-
Eeys, pound of butterfat is the equiva-
lent Of approximately 2-1/3 gallons or 20
pounds of milk; for Guernseys 1t eq@als
about ~ pounds or 21s gallons; for
Ayrshires, Is pounds or ~ gallons; and
for Holsteins, 80 pounds or 81 gallons.

each of his cows is producing, he can
easily check to see just how much she

CECIL FARMERS CLUB MEETS
WITH ALONZO CRESWELL

The Cecil Farmers Club was call
ed to order by John E. Lippincott
chairman for the day, at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Alonzo Creswell.
near Zion, on the 10th of February,
1941.
At the morning meeting the men
discussed their farm problems and
experiences while the ladies met
with Home Demonstration Agent,
Miss Helen Irene Smith to discuss
some of their many problems.
Our chairman called on Reuben
Reynolds and he reported that he is
starting dairy again. He now has
COWS and is making butter. He
sold his hogs $8.S5 per cwt. at the
farm.
Clarence Cullen has about 80
tons of hay for sale. He has lots
of corn, some of which was purchas-
ed, and is feeding 100 hogs as well
as the dairy herd. He has just
started $50 baby chicks. He has
about 200 bushels potatoes yet.
Howard Mendenhall started a
general discussion about barley

Barb Barley which he seeded, Mr..
Kuhns, Extension Specialist in Ag-
ronomy from the University of Md.
told us of the development of this
barley from the Tennessee Winter
variety at the Md. Experiment Sta
ton. The barley is quite similar to
Its parent except for the smooth in
stead of barbed boards. Lloyd Bal
derston planted both Marno Barb
and Smooth or beardless barley and
he finds the latter is showing much
more winter killing of leaves.

That the efficiency of turkey breeder
production can be improved tremen-
dously is shown by the results at the
Purina Experimental Farm at Gray
Summit, Missouri.
According to G. P. Plaisance, man
ager of the Turkey Department, the
turkey breeder flock at the Purina Ex-
perimental Farm produces around 60
eggs per hen during the months Of
March, April, and May, whereas &C
cording to available data, the country's
average for these same three months,
which are the principal months when
the average turkeys do their laying, is
As to so eggs.
"The significance of these compare
tive figures is revealed when one con-
siders that last year approximately
more than 100000 turkeys were mar
keted from about 100000 Matched"
Plaisance says. On the basis of the
average turkey hen producing 40 to As
eggs per year during the laying season
instead of go eggs, it would require APP
proximately 100000 more hens. In
terms of feed this would mean that it
would require at least 10000 more tons
of feed-approximately 1000 carloads.
Feeding, management, sanitation, and
breeding are responsible for the in
creased egg production attained at the
Purina Experimental Farm from the
turkey breeder flock, Plaisance asserts.
"Our original breeding flock was Sc
lected some years ago from flock Of
poults Matched from eggs purchased at
random the previous spring. We had
no advance information concerning
their ability to lay. Proper feeding and
management brought out their inherited
ability to produce lots of eggs"

Mr.. Albin Kuhns, Agronomy Spec
ialist; Rev. Evan Renne, Mr.. and
Mrs. Eugene England, Mr.. and Mrs
j. 2. Miller and Miss Helen Irene
Smith. The minutes Of the last
meeting were read and approved.
Our hostess then introduced Rev,
Evan Renne who gave us short,
inspiring message. He said that
along with the preparedness pro-
gram there should be a greater pro-
gram, one to develop real spiritual
strength. He said we must take ac-
count of our stewardship and realize
our responsibility toward the rest OF
the world.
J. z. Miller then suggested that
we remember that a depression has
always followed a war period, and
therefore to be conservative in our
business. He introduced Mr.. Albin
Kuhns who told us of the Feeding
schools which had been started in
10 counties of the State. Under the
title, Livestock feeding and home
grown feed production, these two
day schools, followed by news let
tiers, tours and demonstrations are
bringing the messages of better
pastures more and better hay and
the best silages to those who are
willing to stop, look and listen.
John A. Conover, "Uncle Jerry"
then told something more of the de-
tails of the above plan. The Club
upon motion decided to request our
County Agent to put these schools,
tours and demonstrations on in the
County.
A rising vote of thanks was then
extended to these three visitors for
the timely and interesting messages
they had brought US.
