HATCHERYMEN
CAN PROTECT The
CHICKS QUALITY

one way that a hatcheryman can
protect the quality Of his chicks is to
know the quality Of breeding stock
back Of the eggs he uses, says Dr..
Morley A. JUL, head Of the UNIVERSE
ty of Maryland poultry department.
He suggests that baby chick buyers
inquire about the type of breeding
program carried on by the hatchery
before deciding where to purchase
chicks.
DR.. JUL points out that breeding
stock supplying eggs to hatchery
should be selected carefully and pre-
ference be given chicks from yearling
hens because they are more likely to
be resistent to disease than those pro-
duced by pullets. Early Matched, we'll
matured pullets may be used, provid-
ing they have been selected carefully.
While some hatchery operators will
lieve that high egg production will
lower hatchability, investigation has
shown that on the average eggs from
high production hens are better than
those from low producing birds
Tinted White Leghorn eggs should
not be used although allowance must
be made for slightly tinted eggs by
pullets at the start of laying. Eggs
approximating the standard size of
"a ounces ped dozen are best, small
eggs hatch better than large ones and
very large eggs are poorest.
Management of breeding stock in
fluences hatchability also and birds
having access to sunshine and succu-
lent grass range usually produce bet
ter Matching eggs than birds that are
confined, unless the diet of the latter
is we'll balanced.
DR.. JUL states that all breeding
stock should be tested for pulIorum
disease by qualified individuals under

to be the queen of a lost Arab
tribe"
So the crown was accepted by
Frances Clifford, who now seemed
to be reconciled to a career among
the chimpanzees, tigers and other
residents of the uncharted Holly
woods.
COSTUME Is SKINNY
Her costume is a skinny leather
garment above. ard a brief wrap
around item below. Plus sandals
and lots of heavy iewelry, Her
character name is Zandra, so the
ensemble has been called a "Zan-

in the least running around in ar
boreal scanties. She is treasured
by an old Hollywood epigram-not
yet endorsed by the Hays Office
to the effect that the more you
reveal the less you show"
In "TarZan Triumphs," she is
chased by lion, hunted by canni-
balls, almost trampled by an ele-
phant, and stalked by a wolf-all
the while having to evade the pur-
suit and evil advances of a Ger
