A vastly expanded program oper.
ating over an eight-weeks period,
has converted Ypsilanti's recrea-
tional setup into veritable three

Shadfond in the harried but happy
role of ringmaster
Activities conducted on the city S
Fairgrounds extend from croquet TO
swimming. from paddle tennis TO
checkers, from horseshoes to bas-
ketball And the list might be
heightened ad infinitum.
The widened scope Of the recrea-
ton programme periodically - has
not been a natural result of the re-
cent additions TO Ypsilanti's popula-
ton. Shadford is quick to empha-
size that rather startling fact.
so far our Fairgrounds have not
become crowded from the influx
of families employed in the mann
moth Willow Run Bomber Plant.
The same thing was tue OF our
school population during the past
year: although we had expected an
enoi nous increase, our enrolment
remained virtually stationary.

planned by pointing out that the new

people or young married couples.

FARMERS UNION
BACKS DEFENSE

Fifteen hundred farmers from i've
northwest states-stockholders In en-
terprises Of the Farmers Union-are
determined to do their utmost in the
production Of food and fiber for Amer
ica:s fighting forces and for those en-
gagged in turning out the tools Of war.
In st. Paul they attended annual
business meetings of the various Farm
ers Union affiliates- Grain Terminal
association, Livestock Commission Co.
and Central Exchange, Inc. All three
organizations adopted resolutions
pledging undying fealty to the govern
ment and to the armed forces in their
about effort to smash axis powers.
CONSUMPTION Of wealth as well as
men was demanded by the Farmers
Union Livestock Commission Co..
which also asked deferment OF farm
boys whose experience Is essential to
production Of foodstuffs. Other resolu-
tons of this affiliate:
Opposed concentration Of political
power as inimical to democracy, op-
posed importation of foreign meats and
aid given production of substitutes, OBJ
posed fascism at home as well as
abroad and declared that labor and
agriculture alike ARE being exploited
by the same economic system" As
sistance of labor to correct this con-
dition and a pledge of agriculture's
support of labor were included in one
resolution.

Agriculture Department Plans Long Range
Program to Avert Farm Decline After War

There will be no depression on the
| farm when the war is over if the
agriculture department has its way.
At the direction of President Roose-
welt, the department has put staff
Of economists and engineers to work
to draw up plans for a multi-billion-
dollar rural improvement and conser-
walton program for use when peace
returns.
The program is designed to provide
full and part time work for farm
youths returning from military service
and for other rural folk who might
be thrown out of jobs in defense in
dustries or who might need income to
supplement returns from agricultural
production. Similar programs are be-
ing developed by other governmental
agencies for urban areas.
The agriculture department program
features plans for four billion dollar
country housing project designed to
wipe out rural slums"-the one-room
and two-room cabins of southern
sharecroppers and tenants, the tar
paper shacks of the cutover timber
areas of the Great Lakes region, the
Ozark mountains, and the Appala-
chians, and the rundown farm houses
of other parts of the country.
In addition to the housing program
the department Is drafting plans for
rural hospitals, community buildings,
recreation centers, local markets and
roads; for forestry, soil, water and
range conservation; for reclamation
and irrigation projects-all of which
would provide additional work as well
as raise rural living standards.
The departments postwar planners
believe rural housing affords the most
useful field for work. Surveys indicate
that at least 100000 farm homes
would have to be built in order to
raise rural housing to minimum level
Of decent living conditions.
Improvement in rural housing Is
urgent, officials say, because building
has Jagged far behind that in urban
areas and has failed to keep pace with
requirements.
The explanation for this lag is to
be found, the department says, in the
low level of agricultural income during
the past decade. This situation Is re-
vealed in census reports that the
value of farm buildings in the United
States fell from s12,95O, 100000 in 1880

to s10,4o5 100000 in 1904 decrease
of nearly 20 percent.
The department reports that recent
surveys show many rural homes are
crowded, with an average of II persons
to each room.
But this does not begin to tell the
story" the department says, because
in the most overcrowded farm homes
there seldom are separate kitchen and
living rooms: one small room usually
must serve for cooking, eating. living,
washing clothes, and other work. For
example, 1T percent of the farm fam
lilies in Colorado, Montana and South
Dakota occupy houses with three
rooms or less. In southeastern states
42.6 percent of the negro sharecrop-
pers live in houses of three rooms OF
less"
The postwar plans concede that
their biggest problem is finding ways
of financing the housing problem
They believe 1t should call for mini
mum Of direct appropriations or direct
subsidies. They think funds from the
reconstruction finance corporation
bond issues or similar sources should
be used wherever possible.
They hope that the bulk Of the
financing can be done through low.

Foultry
L OinterS

Poultry research men have shown
that selective breeding helps in elm
mating winter egg slumps. but it is
generally acknowledged that good
management is a major factor in the
prevention of pauses in winter egg
production.
Among causes that may cut down
egg production are colds, roup.
tracheitis fowl pox, or infection from
some other disease. Infestation with
worms or lice often is found to cause
laying slumps. Digestive upsets or
other disturbances of this nature often
cause birds to stop laying
1t is important, therefore. to MAIN
tain the health of the flock and keep
them free Of parasites.
Protection Of pullets against colds,
tracheitis and fowl pox is secured by
vaccination previous to housing the
birds. Vaccination often speeds recov-
cry. even If done when colds and
fowl pox break out In a flock Lice
and worms must be eliminated from
the birds by treatment. If this is not
done at the time Of housing the birds
and the infestation is allowed to con-
tinue. breakdown in the health and
egg production of the layers is likely
to follow 1t is well to eliminate this
cause as quickly as possible. Cold
weather will not kill lice nor prevent
worm infestations.
Tagging appetites may indicate a
digestive upset. To get the birds back
into good condition an appetizer and
general conditioner is advisable, one
which helps to correct digestive func-
tons and improves assimilation Of
vital food nutrients.
Sudden changes of temperature and
careless use of lights also may cause
hens to pause in egg production. Pro-
vide a comfortable house, use lights
strictly according to schedule, provide
plenty of feeders and water fountains.
and act at the first sign Of decline
in feed consumption, as this may pre-
vent losses of profits when they are
best.
