GULL THE OLD HENS

AS one step to avert a shortage of
poultry products for the American
consumer next fall, Elmer H. Wene,
internationally known hatcheryman,
in the face of the feed shortage,
srged poultrymen "to make two ears
If corn grow where one grew be-
lore"
Poultrymen can sustain two pullet
chicks between now and next Octo-
ber with the same amount of feed re-
ouired by one old hen under a plan
for flock replacement and feed saving
being developed, Mr.. Wene said.
He pointed out that it requires five
months to bring pullet chicks to the
start of the laying period and that
they should be better producers than
old hens, meaning not only a saving
in feed but greater egg production in
the winter months.
Wene. one time president of the
International Baby Chick Association
said that by adhering to his program
OF flock replacement poultrymen may
find the answer to the government
order that they use 20 per cent less
feed than last year. Progressive GULL
ing of old hens and requirements by
chicks assures an Is per cent saving
in feed, he added, at a time when the
feed shortage requires that the great
est production of poultry products be
obtained from short feed supply.
His flock replacement program
works as follows: Purchase 100
chicks which will require 1900 ID
of feed in the 20-week--period be-
fore they become laying pullets; dur
ing the first IL weeks of this 20
week period gradually Gull total of
Sc elderly hens that have passed
their peak of production. In this way,
2,205 pounds of feed the SO hens
would nave consumed is made avail
able fol the chicks. The chicks will
eat only 1900 pounds, leaving net
of 405 pounds or 1S per cent.

COUNTY TO BENEFIT BY MONEY
SPENT ON RURAL REPAIR JOBS

Expenditures totaling more than
LAO, coo will be made in the next
few years by home owners on farms
and in small communities of Cecil
County to improve present electric
service and home plumbing.
These outlays will mean additional
income to practically every local
business and will finance additional
wiring, bathroom improvements and
new electrical equipment for the
county's 4,257 farm and rural homes
already served with electricity, accord
ing to a study released by the Tile
Council of America.
Introduction of runnign water, in
stallation of tiled bathrooms and re-
placement of out-moded plumbing
fixtures head the list of most wanted
farm home features, D., p. FOrst,
chairman of the Councils Residen-
Lial Construction Committee, reveal
ed. One in five families throughout
the nation plan bathroom improve
ments, he said.
Additional wiring is needed in
practically every farm home with
electricity, according to study. A
huge market likewise exists for milk
ing machines, quick freezing units,
electric motors, baby chick brooders
and other equipment.
Expenditures in the county are
part of a $34,O61, 200 program to be
undertaken by Maryland farm and
rural home owners in the next five
years, the study revealed. An estima-
ted 0,O00 on similar i'm
provements to present electric service
will be spent in the nation during
that time.

AGRICULTURE HAS LOST SIX
MILLION PERSONS

American agriculture has lost siA
million persons during tn last decade
to industry and commerce, according
to Senator Wiley of Wisconsin. He
recently warned his fellow states
ment that ''if this trend away from
the farms continues, the very founda-
ton of our Nation will be hurt and
he suggested that what the Govern
ment ought to do and must do, is to
make EARNING more profitable ano

by adding to that statement that il
is possible and practical for the Gov
ernment to reverse the downward
trend Of agriculture, with immediate
results that will start the folks NOV

FAIR WARNING

A strictly postwar" paragraph in
a postwar edition of Careers in For
estry," published for the Forest Ser
vice by the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, says:
Because of the interest expressed
in employment in forestry by numer-
GUS men now in military service, it is
evident that competition for forestry
jobs in the Federal Government will.
be keen. For several years after the
war applicants without military pre-
ference will probably find it difficult
if not impossible to qualify for such
appointments"
This booklet is designed to answer
as clearly as possible most questions
high school and college youth ask
when thinking of taking professional
training in forestry. The Forest Ser
vice needs a continuing supply of ed
ucated and trained foresters. Ordi-
narily It seeks to encourage youns
men bent in that direction, though
not to raise expectations higher than
can be realized. This paragraph sets
for the present situation facing for
estry-minded youngsters not quite
old enough to have gotten into World
War II. The fact is, provisions OF tie
"GI Bill of Rights" for education and
employment preference give veterans
the edge.

For building or repair on farms,
farmers must again apply to their
County AAA office for permits on all
construction running above $500 on
homes and $1,000 on barns or other
farm structures. This cost includes
labor but it is figured on each sepa-
rate building job on the farm, not
the tota. of all different building pro-
grams for a years time, as it was
during the war. No restrictions hold
on construction started bef g

LIVING MEMORIALS

Veterans of both World Wars who
are members of The American Legion
will be the first to give approval to
the idea of constructing living me
MORALS in honor of The war dead of
our Nation.
Whether the expenditure be large
or small it will be far better mem
ory to our departed dead if it be-
comes a useful part of the commun-
ity. And the preparation of memor-
ials of this type does not mean there
need be any sacrifice of beauty. The
idea is that instead of setting up a
cannon in front of the Town Hall
and letting it's significance disappear
under a cover of rust" the commun-
ity will far better signify its rever-
ence for the heroism of the war dead
is something is added which will ben
eft the whole community.
Recently the papers have carried
news of such memorial that is be-
ing created at Spring Valley in New
York State. AS the newspaper an
nouncements told the story, Spring
Valley will turn the towns chief eye
sore-a large swampy tract of land
into a park.
The community has owned the real
estate for some years. And now
under the leadership of the Mayor, q
veteran of World War citizens are
contributing to a fund, which it is
estimated will reach 100000, to
make the park an attractive outdoor
memorial.

CANCER IS oURABLE

Cancer is exceeded only by heart
disease as a cause of death. 1t is un-
doubtedly one of the most dreaded
of all diseases. Lack of knowledge is
often al ilye bach CT fear of cancer.
So many people think that cancer
is inherited and that it is incurable.

is, il it is discovered in time. The
Cnly thing to fear about cancer is
neglect. When cancer is detected in
carly stages and treatment is begun
at Lnee, life can be saved and suffer-
ing prevented.
What is cancer? 1t is the uncon-
tissues lave ceased to grow normally.
This wild growth eventually impairs
the functions of organs of the body.
Various things may cause this un-
natural growth. Constant irritation
Cn a birthinark or mole may cause
cancer. Long exposure to heat may
cause it. Injuries to women at the
time of childbirth may result in can
Ger if tie damage is not corrected.
Heat, irritants and internal injur-
les do not necessarily result in can
Ger, but they may Every precaution
should be taken to prevent cancer
by seeking medical advice in case of
tiis slightest suspicion Competent
medical advice should be sought and
.ome remedies avoided. Home reme-
;iies often further the growth OF can
GER.
Cancer does not begin with pain,
so we cannot depend upon pain to
warn Of the disease. There are, how
ever certain danger signals. Among
Them are the following:
l. A sore about the mouth, tongue
or lips which does not heal.
2. A painless lump or tkickening
in the breast, lip or tongue
3. Any change in the color or sizes
Of mole, wart or birthmark on the
skin
4. Irregular bleeding or discharge
from any natural body opening.
S. Persistent hoarseness which
| cannot be explained by cold or any
other temporary disturbance.
Persistent Indigestion may also be
q sign that cancer is developing.
These signs may or may not indi-
ate cancer, but to be on the safe side
a doctor should be consulted at the
first appearance of any of these signs.

Immediately.
Tl.are are only three medically ac-

Swedish Waters,
Clear Of Mines

STOCKHOLM. - Since the end
of the war, Swedish mine-sweep-
ers have been busily engaged in
sweeping the thousands of mines
laid out during the war years,
either by the Swedish Navy with
in Swedish territorial waters. as
protection against a possible at
tack, or by the belligerent coun-
tries in neighboring waters. The
mined waters have been swept
several times, in the case of sea-
bed mines as much as fifteen
times, states a recent report from
the Swedish mine-sweeping auth
critics, and the Swedish waters
may now be regarded as practic
ally free from mines.
The work was begun immedi-
ately after the war, in May 1945
During the following summer and
autumn all mines laid by the Swe-
dish Navy We're removed, and
wide areas of sea We're swept in
order to clear them of foreign
mines. Passages were also OPEN
ed to Danzig and Gdynia in Po-
land, and to the southern coast of
Norway. the so-called "Arendal

Swedish fishermen were also

About $50 officers and men
have been occupied during the
past summer in the work of
sweeping along the Swedish west
Coast, and 200 in Oresund, the
relatively narrow strait between
Denmark and the southernmost
province of Sweden. The risk of
a ship meeting with a mine in
these waters is now extremely
small, the chief of the Swedish

drifting mines still constitute a
danger, and a keen lookout is
therefore recommended.
