make healthier pullets and reduce
the feed bill also. A patch OF
soybeans to help supplement the
green feed during hot dry wealth
er will be a great asset to the pull
let crop.
Don't sell good laying hens: 1t
is wise and profitable to Gull your
laying flock all the year. How
ever, Gull out but don't sell out
the laying fock. The egg market
is expected to By considerably
higher by late spring or early
summer than at present.
Suggestions to- Sheep Growers:
Dock and castrate all lambs for
the market. This should be done
by the time they are ten days or
two weeks old if possible. Last
year there were entirely too many
growers selling lambs that had
not been locked or caStrated and
received one dollar per hundred
less on the market for failing to
do this simple job. There is alb
solutely no danger of loOsing
lambs if reasonable precaution is
taken. The County Agent will
assist growers in obtaining
emascUlators if they are inter-
ested in having one Of these in
struments in their community.
Start creep feeding lambs when
they are two or three weeks old.
This will give them a good start,
increase gains and keep ewes IN
! better condition, sprinkle small
amounts of feed in troughs, grad
ually increasing to the amount
lambs will clean up daily. A
good ration to start lambs on is:
l part corn meal; l part crushed
oats; z parts wheat bran and y
part cottonseed meal. Increase
| the corn content as the lambs get
older.
Ewes should be treated for
stomach worms, starting by May
LIST, or before, and continue treat
ing each month through the graz
ing season. A good plan is to
treat with PhenothiaZine for the
first treatment then alternate
with mixture of Nicotine sui
phate and Copper sulphate
drench. For further details. con-
tact the County Agents office.

Dunish Workers Strike
Aguinst Nuzi Police

London ULNS). = Sabotage and
showdown in Danish industries forced
to work for the Germans have become
so serious that the NaZis have COM
PEELED the creation of new anti-sabo-
tage police, in addition to the private
guards which every Industrial under
taking Of Importance is now supposed
to maintain. But both of these patrols
are still Danish. The Germans do not
trust them.
They insisted, for instance, that they
themselves would watch over the i'm
portant shipbuildng yards of Bur-
meister and Vain in Copenhagen. AS
soon as the workers there saw the
German police they promptly went on
strike and the Nazis abandoned the
idea. This is one of several signs that
in some respects at least the Germans
feel the need of moving with greater
caution.

In National Labor Relations Board

As tn World War moved swiftly
along, Gaylord plunged into the fight
against pro-tiermanism in Wisconsin
and became secretary OF the Wisconsin
Loyalty League, moving from there
into the American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy, led by Samuel Com
pers.
In that war work, as i'm other things,
Gaylord lashed ont with a concentra-
tion of fury that made few bitter
enemies. His break with Victor L.
Berger, then party leader, was filled
with fireworks.
After the war GayOrd went west,

ing he was best fitted for.
Coming east once more during the
depths of the depression he began

since then. He wrote other feature and

Ilighight of the AFL executive

tween the AFL and the CIO providing
for arbitration of jursdictional dis
puteS involving unions affiliated with
the two organizations. The AFL Peace
Committee was instructed by the coun-
ell to seek rs the next step toward
organic unity an agreement preventing
"raiding' of established unions.
Meanwhile in the Kaiser shipyardS

ious relationship between labor and
mana cement has gone hand i'm hand
with the greatest job of production in
industrial history, AFL union shop
agreements have been voided by the
NLRB, on complaints filed by the ClO
and elections ordered.
Such raiding tactics, especially at
this time when anti-labOr forces are
watching eagerly for IN opportunity
to strike, are to be deplored. If we

ILO acting director.
Phelan said that he had been glad to
make Dr. Stems services available in
response to the Mexican Government S
request for technical assistance from
the ILO. During his stay in Mexico
DR.. Stein will confer with members Of
the Social Insurance Institute set up
by the new legislation.
MeXicO's new legislation, which is a
comprehensive system covering all
risks, was drafted with the assistance
of an ILO expert, and came into force
recently.
In adopting general system of So
cial insurance, Phelan pointed out,
Mexico Is giving practical effect to
Article 5 of the Atlantic Charter. 1T
is gratifying to note" Phelan added,
that Mexico has employed the HOS
tripartite principle of government-em-
plOyer-wOrker representation in estal,-

lation.'
Formerly chief of the social insur-
ance section of the ILO, Or. Stein was

one hundred and thirty millions, know
how Indispensable to victory is the
work of this great agency which goes
on every minute of every day, every
where on earth where it is needed.
All Red Cross funds are raised by
voluntary contributions. Everybody
who contributes 81 or more to the
campaign becomes n member for one
year. With so many of our boys in
the service naturally we are going to
find il hard to reach our goal if we
do not increase the amount pledged i'm
former years.
This year we are asking every mem
Der who possibly can pledge $500. If
unable to comply with this request
give S4.OO, $500, etc, but increase
your pledge of former years.
1t Is not unreasonable to ask that
we increase our pledge To the Red
Cross, ut Il time when sharply in
creased taxes for almost all of us is
just around the corner. Think of the
boys in the fox holes in Bataan, or
ships in Africa, or upon the high seas.
Would not the sight of Red Cross
nurse, standing by to take care of
those wounded i'm battle, be coincidence
10 their parents ut home.
Let's keep that nurse standing by
their side and join the Red Cross inn
mediately. DO ii today.
Contributions volunteered will be
collected through the payroll deduc-
zion method, and will be taken out Of
the first two pays in April.
