MANY DISABLED VETS
RETURN TO SERVICE

Partially disabled veterans are
proving their worth as valuable
soldiers in the new regular United
States army, it has been announced
by Col. NJ. l.. McCreary, chief of
Sixth army recruiting, who declared
that the new policy of re-enlisting
combat wounded men would be con-
tinued in the new year.
Under the plan, which was in
stituted some months ago, hun
dreds of army jobs, falling into 103
different categories, were thrown
open for enlistment to partially dis
abled veterans of World var ii,
who were wounded in combat.
Proponents of the plan believed
that many of the men could per-
form a satisfactory job and would
welcome the opportunity of return
ing to uniform and a regular salary
instead of remaining dependent
upon their government pension.
"The response by disabled vet
a has fully substantiated this
belief" said Colonel McCreary.
mot only have they welcomed the
opportunity of earning their own
way, but they are proving to be
good soldiers. That's why the army
is continuing the program"
While government pensions are
suspended during the period of the
enlistment, applications for re-ir-
statement may be made Immediately
the disabled veteran is discharged,
Colonel McCreary said.

In a study of the influence of
management practices on the cost
of producing broilers in Delaware,
it was found that the feed con-
sumed per pound of broiler was
the most important factor affect
ing the cost of production and net
returns. Each increase of one
pound of feed per pound of broiler
increased the cost of production,
on the average, AS cents a pound.
Pullets on range during hot sum-
mer days without shade are un-

al shade.
Make a movable frame and cover

One of the most serious faults
with present Delaware pasture
management is the abundance of
the unpalatable weeds found in
many pastures. Weeds rob the
good pasture plants of plant food,
moisture and sunshine and take
up space which would be occupied
by pasture plants.
The mower is an effective instru-
ment for weed control on pastures.
Clipping is most effective if done
early when weeds are in the bud
stage and before they seed. More
than one slipping may be neces-
sary.
Clipping the pasture also tends
to keep good pasture grasses
more productive by preventing
them from going to seed due to
grazing.
