Mr.. and Mrs. Flock Owner-can your
birds get a drink of fresh, clean water
VII aaev,r they want it?
Eemer'her: An egg contains approx
imately 1000 water. That 50fc of the
birds body is water-this makes water
an important item in the diet of a
chicken. Water at well temperature is
best.
Green feed and fresh water are i'm
portant factors toward keeping your
birds healthy.
Gull any birds in the flock that appear
weak and droopy. General flock culling
in Mississippi should be done during the
months Of July. August, September, and
October. This state is a deficit area and
we need all the eggs we can produce for
home consumption.

Out of the welter of motion pic. lures devoted to telling the stories of our various fighting services, 1t remained for 20th Century-Fox to bring us what Is by far one of the most htrillingly exciting and heart- warming human epics of them all, in the screens ist great drama of our Aircraft Force in action, The film, "Wing And Q Prayer, opened yesterday at Loew Poll Theatre. Starring Don Ameche, Dana An. dreys and William Eythe. the picture Is c stirring salute of the gallant Navy men of the sky whose home is Q flat.top, The screen is flooded with the rousing humor, adventure and drama of life aboard an aircraft carrier. But more than that, 1t re. veals the amazing story behind the strategy that paved the way for spectacular victory over the Japs at Midway. Tn the first hot flush of indignation against the treacherous Jap sneak-attack on Pearl Harbor, and with the country asking, "Why don't we fight backp" and "Where Where is our Navy" an unidenti. fed aircraft carrier Is sent into the Pacific for Q rendezvous with It's planes, But when the planes land aboard the flat top the rarin'to. fight flyers are told that their ord. CTS are to avoid combat with the enemy-to run away and not fight back and the carrier, with It's be. wildered and fraustrated crew, sets out on an apparently aimless course through Jap-infeSted waters. It is against this setting of suspense and drama that the saga is unfolded, reaching Q smashing climax that scores new high In film entertain. ment and excitement.
