IA Hour Day
Recommended

A 11-hour day was recommended
today by Dr.. Morley A. JUL, head of
the poultry department at the Uni
versity Of Maryland. However, it IS
the hens that are supposed to put in
the II hours. and he stresses that
pullets should be started on that
schedule this fall.
lie reminds poultrymen that the
use Of artificial lights will increase
fall and early winter egg production.
This is good business because egg
prices are higher during that season
than at other times Of the year.
Morning Lights Preferred
Morning lighting to daylight is pre-
ferred to night lighting or a combina-
ton of morning and night lighting.
An automatic time switch can be pur-
chased or an alarm clock can be used
to turn the lights on and off. In order
to provide a 14-hour work day, the
lights must he turned on earlier in
the morning as the fall and winter
seasons advance. Lighting should be
continued regularly until about April
/.
A 4O-watt lamp is usually used,
equipped with a 1G-inch cone-shapcd
reflector, the reflecting surface being
covered with coats Of aluminium
bronze or paint. The lamp should be
about feet above the floor midway
between the front of the house and
the droppings board or pit. In a long
house the lamps are placed about 10
feet apart.
DR.. JUL says that when pullets are
placed in the laying house in the late
summer or fall of the year, they are
still in growing condition. Giving
them a 14-hour work day stimulates
egg production. Feed and water
should always be available when the !
lights are automatically turned on
early in the morning.

Progress since 1888 when the

At least $50,OOO,OOO had gone
for patient care, prior to 1949, in
payment of polio bills families
could not meet themselves; in

ment, in establishing equipment

Polio Foundation Asks Dimes and DoIgurs
Now 70 Pay for Pofienf Core in Epidemic Of
InfantiIe Paralysis ThoroUghoUf Country

With thousands of children
and adults in hospitals today as
the result of current widespread
polio epidemics, and with as
many new cases likely to de-
velop in the months just ahead,
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis has launched a
Polio Epidemic Emergency Drive
to provide immediate funds for
patient care.
The price-tag on this years
epidemic will be so enormous,
according to Basil O'Connor,
National Foundation President,
that $14,500,000 must be raised
to meet the national polio bill.
During 1913, when there were
27,908 cases in the country, the
highest number since the record
total in 1916, the National Foun-
dation and its Chapters spent
$l7000,000 in March of Dimes
funds to provide epidemic Serv-
ices, he said. With even more
cases this year, it looks as though
it may cost 25,000,000 in 1919
to pay for that part of medical
and hospital care which fami-
lies cannot pay themselves.
By the end of August, as much
money had been advanced in
epidemic aid to National Foun-
dation Chapters whose March of
Dimes funds have been exhaust
ed by the cost of care as was
sent in all of 1948. The nations
total number of cases now is as
large as full years toll in pre-
vious years, with predictions for
at least double that number be-
fore December 81.
Furthermore, it is estimated
that a minimum of $5,000,000
will be required to continue
helping 1913 patients who still
need clinic or hospital treat
ment. The National Foundation
gives assistance as long as medi-
cal care is necessary, regard
less of age, race, creed or color
The money raised in the Polio
Epidemic Emergency Drive will
be used exclusively for services
to polio patients in all states,
Mr.. O'Connor said. Contributions
may be mailed to POLIO, care of
your local Post Office.
"ThiS emergency drive is our
only hope of providing care for
patients without slowing up sci
entific research and professional
education programs of the Ma
tional Foundation" Mr.. O'Con-
nor explained. ut is an ironical
fact that this heavy incidence,

transportation any bird other than
a game bird, nor shall any part
of the plumage, skin or body be
had in possession, except as per-
mitted in this chapter, nor shall
any person disturb or destroy the
eggs, nests or young of such birds;
but nothing in this section shall
prohibit the lawful taking, killing,
pursuing or possession of any
game bird during the open season
for such bird, or the killing of any
hawk or owl doing damage to-
property.
European starings, English
sparrows and crows may be killed
