Poultry Ranges Cut
Costs 10 Percent

A 10 per cent saving may be made
in the cost of raising pullets. This is
the gain made by poultrymen who
provide good range Of succulent
green grass for their birds, according
to Morley A. JUL, head of the Poultry
Department at the University of
Maryland.
"The use Of poultry pastures is es-
pecially important during this period
of high feed prices" DR.. JUL declares,
and he emphasizes, that there is no
substitute for sunshine and green
grass when it comes to raising pull
lets for egg production. The sunshine
helps to keep the pullets healthy and
promotes the proper bone develop
ment. The grass provides green feed
and protein and chickens grown on a
good range are less likely to engage
in feather picking and cannibalism.
They will also have less trouble with
parasites and disease.
DR.. JUL warned poultrymen not to
be so interested in lowering feed costs
that they fail to keep pullets growing
rapidly. "Pullets that have been fed
well during the growing season should
pay good dividends this fall and
winter" he said, because present
conditions indicate that egg prices

day stands more distantly remote

selves to a prospect more grim
and bleak than any other civili-

Former Governor Address

AT Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. % -(A9
Former Governor j. Melville
Broughton of North Carolina said
here tonight that Communists and
other subversive influences deem
our schools and labor unions as
the most fertile fields for cultiva-
tion.
"They even, assume the guise Of
pseudo-patriot;c names for some
of their groups, and have made
stealthy and sanctimonious infil-
tration into some church organi-
zations."
He said in an address prepared
for the Tooth anniversary celebra-
ton of patriotic Order Sons of
America that ian affirmative pro-
gram of education in and rededi-
cation to our American ideals and
traditions is the surest guaranty
of their preservation.
"As bearing on this critical prob
lem. there is being evidenced in
many quarters a strong effort to
relax our wisely-designed immi-
grafton laws. Such endeavors
should be vigorously resisted.
"The impact upon the Ameri-
can economy as affecting labor
and future employment and relief
burdens is a phase OF the proposal
that will have to be carefully con-
sidered; and, even more, the in
fluence that such action may have
on the problems relating to 10y
atty and fidelity to OUR form Of
government.
IF such proposals are Ultimate
ly found to be wise and humane,
and not detrimental to our ma
tional welfare, the greatest care
and discrimination should be exer-
cised in the selection Of those to
be admitted. No person should be
admitted who, by training, expert
ence, attitude and belief, is in
capable of respecting and honor
ing OUR traditions, our laws and
our democratic form of govern
ment.
incidentally, if we could ship
out of this country, to countries
whose form of government they
seem to prefer above u own, a
very considerable number OF
Communists, crack-pots and sub
versive agitators, we might well
have room for more deserving
people from other lands, whose
plight makes them the object Of
sympathetic consideration.

fore then, especially with the La
