tween January l and November l.,
from all sources, ran to 65,569, 1l9

Fraction Would Be Saved.
William A. Xanten, supervisor of
the city refuse and director of the
city's tin-can salvage, estimated that
800 tons Of tin cans are thrown away
in the trash here each month. He
said it was the hope that 200 to
$50 tons would be saved and pre-
pared by housewives each month.
Additional jalopies were reported
donated to the Salvage Committee
yesterday. They included a third
truck from Thompson's Dairy, esti-
mated to net about 1000 pounds OF
valuable scrap.
William j. Petty OF 170S Seaton
street NV. turned over his 1881
sedan and 1884 panel bodied de-
livery truck, and William H. Mon
tague, a rug cleaner at 1725 Sew
enth street NV, has offered a 1881
model truck.
Mr.. Walker stressed that jalopies,
before they can be accepted by the
committee for junking, must carry
with them titles Of ownership and
assurances no liens are outstanding
against them.
The American Legion In Balti-
more yesterday opened State wide
roundup Of jalopies. The drive is

Hens Must Be
Culled For Results

Do your hens look slick with
glossy, oily feathers before they
finish their laying year? If they
do, get rid of them because they're
not cooperating in the Food-for-Vi-
Glory egg production program
Culling time is here, and now is
the time to switch loafers from the
chicken yard to the Sunday dinner
table, Miss Eva Leggett, extension
poultry specialist, State College,
says.
"The handwriting well-fed hen
has on her laying clothes, dry and
frayed. The oil and fats from her
feed have gone into egg yolks. The
loafer hen stopped laying eggs and
made feathers" Miss Leggett
points out.
There are several good ways to
tell whether or not hen is loafing
on the job. First, look at the beak
and shanks. If she belongs to
one of the common yellow-skin va
rieties and if she's laying, the col
or will be faded or bleached out.
Then look at the comb. If it's full
of blood, red and waxy she's a hard
worker. If she is loafing it will
be pale and shriveled
Determine the condition of the
skin, The layer has soft texture
like kid glove feel. A non-layer
has a hard dry skin, relatively
tight.
Miss Leggett points out the lay
ing hen has soft, pliable abdomen
and well spread bones.
Gull the loafer out and save the
best layers for breeding stock.
Their daughters next year will help
you produce more Food for Free
dom, she says.

For instance, let's take the ques-
