AN EGG is sc percent water. A
flock of 100 laying hens in so percent
production will consume about Az
to 5 gallons of water per day or 8h
tons per year. Many poultrymen
carry this water for some distance.
Some carry it and permit it to
freeze in cold weather. Maximum
consumption, however, is essential
for maximum production. To secure
maximum consumption in cold
weather some system Of heating is
usually necessary.
The .optimum temperature of
drinking water for poultry has not
been definitely established but in
tests made at the Western Washing
ton experiment station it was found
that production was practically the
same over the entire range of tenn
p~eratures from so degrees F. to 70
degrees f. and the conclusion was
that the lower temperature of so de-
grees should be used, since it was
more economical to heat water to
this lower temperature in cold
weather.
The Idaho committee on the re-
lation of electricity to agriculture in
studying water warming for poul-
try observed that during a period
from Dec. 2 to Jan. 2, in which the
temperature dropped to as low as ID

degrees in the poultry house with q

house for as long as "a hours at q
time, a flock of 500 leghorn hens

to so degrees F.) varied less than
3 percent from their go percent pro-
duction.
They consumed 20 percent more
water than a similar flock receiv-
ing unwarmed water from the fau-
Get. This latter flock also dropped
as much as 20 percent in their pro-
duction and required a long period
to recover.

of warming the water for the pouI-
try flock.

Sulfa Drug Treats
Colds in Chicks

SULFATHIAZOLE has long been
recommended as the standard Spe-
cific treatment for infectious colds
and bronchitis of poultry. There Is
now evidence that it has value be-
yond these infections. 1t Is mex
pensive and convenient to use on
chicks. The standard formulation is
" pound in 100 pounds of feed. 1t
is also available in a water soluble
form, which is the most convenient
method for small flocks but not
quite so economical.
Recommendations for the use OF
sulfathiazole are:
I. Fill hoppers with medicated
feed for first feeding to baby chicks.
Do not repeat except in cas- of in
stances z or 8.
2. If unusual mortality develops
which cannot definitely be dag
nosed az pullorum or coccidiosis,
give medicated feed for one full
day.
8. If infectious colds or bronchitis
develop, give medicated feed for 3
days. It should be certain that this
diagnosis is correct, and not con-
fused with nutritional roop which
may present similar symptoms.

and could dimly see the monstrous
shape of the other diving rig at
the edge of the rock.
1t was too dark to see Tony's
face, but l imagined him staring
at me for moment, then he
squatted down and worked on my
lines.
When Tony got them free he
stepped around the rock and
placed his hands under my arms.

valves to keep the water out of the
helmet. Then I moved around the

THE TRAP

There was another longer ST.

no good for the job. He wouldn't
know what to do. I'm coming

Tony screamed, shut up. Don't

While l waited l ran my hands
back along the lines and could feel
where they went around the rock.
1t was too dark to see anything,
but l could visualize how the lines

lean over l think l could have
freed them, but leaning over would
have flooded the helmet.

pray that the compressor didn't

Benny informed me when Tony
went over the side and started
down and a few minutes later
said:
Tony's in the cave but he says
he can't see you"
L SAID, Tell him to go back to
the end of the cave and follow my
lines through a narrow opening
into a second cave. I'm back at
the end of that one.'
'Okay."

"Sure. Now you can get out.
I'll handle your lines. Be careful

tomorrow"

moved away from him. l went

cave and squeezed through the
opening into the first cave. Pres

was in no great danger.

from the boat and in a short while
was up on deck. Benny helped me
out of the diving rig.
l stood in the sun and felt good
and slapped Benny on the back
and thought of Dotty and then
remembered Tony still waiting in
the cave.
Benny said, "Yknow, he didn't
make no fuss about going down at
all. He started to sweat for a min
ute, but he wasted no time get
ting in that rig and under water.
I didn't think he'd be able to
do it. Maybe it was because he
was thinking of you and not him

We Want Simple Maintenance

John D. Smith, highway commissioner for the South
ern District, speaking before the Gulfport Lions Club this
week said that 1--WE all know that parts of Highway 80 in
Jackson and Harrison counties are a disgrace to the State
of Mississippi according to the Daily Herald.
According to the news report Commissioner Smith then
gave a breakdown of the departments financial structure
and told the group that IF you get a four-ane highway
here on the Coast as you desire, then you have got to real
ize that it isn't going to be given to you. You are going to
have to pay for it in taxes"
Now, as we have frequently pointed out, our quarrel
with the highway department is not over a four-lane super
highway. That project entails relocation, a vast expendi-
ture of funds and is, we believe, quite a number of years
in the future although there is no question of its need.
Our quarrel is over immediate maintenance through
jackson county. Maintenance that will eliminate the many
prospective death traps that line it. Of course this will cost
money, but we believe funds for the work could be made
available from some source.
The life and limb of tourist visitors, unfamiliar with
the sub-standard, dangerous stretch through Jackson coun-
ty, is being risked every day. Admittedly the highway is
simply breaking up at several points.
We still believe that, if the money for these vital and
immediate repairs and maintenance is not available, then
for the sake of safety the highway should be closed to
through traffic. AS an alternative, at least signs warning
visitors of the condition of the highway should be posted
at each end of the county so that they would be aware of
the risks they are taking.

Uniform Law Enforcement

We are in receipt of another letter this week dealing
with the situation that allows some barroom operators to
maintain punch boards, while others have been arrested
for the offense and fined $25 and costs in the justice of
the peace court.
Once again we'd like to point out our rule concerning
publication of letters. The above missive contained a type
written signature, which is the same as no signature at
all. Letters written to the editor for publication must be
properly signed with the name and address of the writer.
If the writer so desires, his name will not be published but
the original letter must be as outlined above or into the
wastebasket it goes.
In any event, the letter charges what we have pointed
out before. Three arrests have been made in the Pasca-
goula city limits on charges of operating a punch board,
These arrests were made over the past several weeks, but
despite this the open operation of punch boards continued
in the heart of the business district.
Why? We don't know. We do know, though, that the
law is supposed to be a laws of laws, and not a law of men.
If punch boards can be hunted out in the outlaying sec
tons of the city, operators arrested and fined, then it seems
elemental that they could be found when operating in the
main business district.
The letter further charges that slot machines are be-
ing operated in the ladies rest rooms of some county es-
tablishments, and that counter machines are operating
openly in many parts of the county. These machines, the
letter says. ~ostensibly pay off in free games but the player

Doug To Get Operation!

Life looked pretty hopeless last week for little Doug
Macdonald.
Doug is a blue baby" afflicted with a comparatively
rare heart ailment that requires expensive surgery and
disqualification to cure. He was ready for his operation and
the doctors at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore had
written to his parents to bring him.
But there was a little matter of approximately 81 900
for hospital and travel expense. That 81, 900 stood before
Doug like an insurmountable wall. To get over that wall
meant for him a normal life like any other youngster. Not
to get over it left death lowering just around the corner.
His folks simply didn't have it, There had been examina-
tons and treatments for Doug at Johns Hopkins and in
New Orleans. All this had cost considerable money. Then
there had been the matter of help for other members of
the family, and layoffs as local work slumped.
This newspaper published the facts last Friday.
The response of Jackson countians was immediate and
overwhelming.
Plain, ordinary citizens; civic and fraternal organiza-
tons; church and employee groups and organized labor
opened their hearts. In a matter of three days more than
$500 had been contributed to a fund for Dougis operation.
1t continued to mount steadily. A dollar here, 5O-cents there,
SIS, 500 until by Wednesday afternoon of this week $1,l0O
had been contributed to the fund.
Yes sir! Things look pretty bright now out at the Mac
Donald trailer on Canty street They're leaving Sunday for
Baltimore and Doug is going to have his operation. Warm
hearted Jackson countians saw to that. They're fine folks,
bless EN-!

ported as of May II, according to
an announcement by A. NJ. Har-
dy, campaign chairman.

the Coffee Day, sponsored by the
Junior Woman's club.
Officials of the cancer society
point out that go per cent of ev-
cry dollar raised will be. used
within the state of Mississippi to
carry on its service and educa-
tional program. rs per cent of the

entific research on the part OF
some of the most outstanding sci
entists in the country who are
investigating the origin of cancer
and trying to find the cause and
means of treating it.
