Government Best Seller List

The greatest mass-productloh
country in the world today, the
United States, is still nation of
home craftsmen. This is proved,
according to officials of the Gov
ernment Printing Office in Wash
ington, d. c., by the constant pop
ularity of a 30-cent set of pamph-
lets entitled the You Can Make It
series.
Prepared a few years ago by the
National Committee on Wood Util-
iZation. this set of three booklets
has been a best seller in all sea-
sons of the year. The publications
contain illustrated instructions on
how to make useful articles for the
home, the garden, and the camp as
we'll as playthings for the children
using only few simple tools, dis
carded wooden boxes, and odd
pieces of lumber. Each book in the
set tells how to finish the wooden
articles to make them attractive
as we'll as useful. Practically al
the items are accompanied by de-

Paul H. Griffith, conferred IN
Washington on October "a, 1916,
thew issued the following joint
statement. which indicates that the
Veterans problems will be ably
conducted during the coming year.
Our meeting this morning is an
eyample of the cooperation we are
agreed shall exist between the
American Legion and the Veterans
Administration during the coming
wear. With our principal aides and
assistants, we have each discussed
frankly our responsibilities and our
ObiectiveS. We clearly understand
that the Veteran can be helped
toward life of useful citizenship
ONLY when the Government, or
eanized veterans. and the great
body of American people pull to-
eether. This we are determined to
do.
The American Legion will CO.

way that the Legion may better
serve all veterans. The Veterans
Administration will continue to
welcome the aid of the American
Legion and all citizens of these
United States in it's vital program
of medical. social and economic re-
Mobilization.
only by working together. can
the American People find for the
Veteran those fair opportunities
that he must have to work, earn
live happily and prosper. We hope
that our relationship in the coming
year may help establish that pat
tern and point the way toward
better cooperation among us all.

NEPPCO NEWS

The 20-man Board of Directors of
the Northeastern Poultry Produc-
ers Council (NEPPCO) including
Frank Gordy of Newark, Delaware
started back home today with plans
for a graSS-rOOtS survey of the
poultry industry to uncover pro-
ducer opinion on price supports,
production controls and other de-
velOping issues in Government
farmer relationships.
Gordy said he would begin at
once to plan series of Delaware
meetings to poll growers and all
poultry industry groups represent
ed by NEPPCO. NEPPCO is the
overall organization of all poultry
interests in the 13-states Maine to
West Virginia area.
The twO-day meeting which end
ed here yesterday (22nd) outlined
the organizations program for the
/ coming year and laid plans for the
annual convention and exposition
OF northeastern poultrymen. 1t vii
4 probably be held in New England
]
Principal session of the meetins
was the talk by w. d. Termohlen
Director of the Poultry Branch o
the U. S. Department of Agricul
lures Production and Marketin!
Administration.
Termohlen pointed out that tn
poultry industry had experienced
vast expansion in the ten pre-wa
years when poultry prices average,
about 80 per cent of parity. Unde
the terms of the far-reachin;
'Steagall Amendment passed TO en-
courage wartime food production
farmers are guaranteed so per cen
OF parity for the two full year
which follow the official end of tn
war.
Prime problem facing the pOultr
industry, TermOhlen said, is tn
fact that if 80 per cent of parit
forced heavy production increase
during pre-war years, the 80 pc
cent specified in the 'Steage
Amendment will bring about eve
heavier production jumps in tn
face of presumably shrinking MAJ
ketS.
NEPPCO Managing DirectC
Leon Todd warned the Board tn;

quent obligation of the Govern
ment to buy over supplies of egg

not secured insurance have until
September % to make application

Applications should be made to the
county agricultural conservation

Phillips says that all bins should be
checked for mold frequently and
that every effort should be made to
hermit as much air to circulate
through the corn as possible.
A domestic rye grass pasture
should be seeded any time between
now and September Is to provide
late fall and early spring grazing.
With feed the biggest problem fac
ing dairymen during the coming
months the seeding of such pas
| ture is not only one way of meeting
feed shortages and high prices. but
also an aid in helping to prevent a
! fall milk slump.
Fields seeded to rye grass should
! be in good shape and the seeding
should be at the rate of 20 to 70
pounds to the acre. On heavier soils
apply 3-400 pounds of a 3-12-6 fer
tiliZer and 3-400 pounds of 4-12-6
fertilizer on lighter soils.
Pullets should be housed wher
they reach a ten percent level in
production. In hot weather they
may be left Oh the range longer il
plenty of nests are provided. There
is, however, a danger of upSettlnS
the pullets if they are laying at {
much higher rate than ten per cen
when housed.

Farm poultry flocks in Delaware
numbered 61S,000 during August
1916, as compared with 677.000
flOcks in August, 1945. This is ac-
cOrding to a report of the L. S.
Department of Agriculture's Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics.
There were 1,246 eggs per 100
layers in the state this August;
an increase over last years figure
of 1924 eggs per 100 layers.
Farm f1ockS as a whole over the
United States laid per cent fewer
eggs this August than during the

, layers on farms nationally tCtaled
4 per cent less than in August last
year, but II per cent above aver

Kitchen fat salvage must con-

SCRAPS should be saved while pre-
