Chicken Festival Promotes
States Farm Industry

The DelmarVa Chicken Festival
is one of the best ways Delaware
poultrymen have of promoting the
product they sell, according to J..
Frank Gordy, extension poultry
man at the University of Delaware.
The festival will take place in Dow
er on June 13, IA and 15.
"This event provides real op-
portunity for the poultry people to
get behind a major promotional
activity" he states. "It is one time
when all parts of the industry join
hands in a unified effort"
The purpose of the festival, says
Gordy, is to inform people through
out the country about the Delmar-
va peninsula and its poultry indus
try. 1t is also aimed at increasing
consumption of chicken.
Featured events are the Nation
al Chicken Cooking Contest, the
Miss Delmarva Queen Contest the
U. S. Navy Band Concert, the Fes-
tival Parade, Poultry Equipment
Show, frying of one half ton of
chicken on the worlds largest fry
ing pan, and the Grand Opening
on Tuesday evening, June 13 at s
O'Clock.

4 FOR ANIMAL HEALTH

as young cockleburs, jimson weeds,
nightshade, larkspur or young
hemp contain specific poisons.
Another large group of growing
forage of the sorghum family such
a. Sudan or arrow grass and
cane may contain prussic acid,
especially if frozen. stunted or
wilted. Other plants sensitize ami
mails to the rays of sunlight,
causing serious skin trouble or
swollen heads.
One great danger is that spotty
animal losses may be ascribed to
poison plants when the true cause
is some contagion like blackleg or
anthrax. When doubt as to cause
exists, skilled consultation should
be sought at once.
If a livestock owner suspects
that pasture may contain poison
Gus forage, he can cut down his
risk by allowing one of his least
valuable animals to Craze there.
If the animal is unaffected after
10 days or two weeks, the pasture
probably is safe. But as a double
check, the owner should keep close
watch on the animals. He should
also keep antidotes on hand which
he can give as first aid before the
veterinarian arrives.

Save Electric Cost
By Changing Bulbs

The thrifty time to change an
electric light bulb is when it be
gins to look dark under the glass,
according to Louise R. Whitcomo'
home management specialist, Ex-
tension Service, University of Del
aware. To let the bulb continue
burning until it goes out wastes
electricity and money.
Once a bulb becomes dingy in
side, she points out, it may give
off only about half as much light
as a new bulb yet use about the
same amount of electric current.
Darkening is caused by bits of the
filament which breaks off and are
deposited on the glass. 1t shows
that the filament is wearing thin.
Bulbs usually burn out when the
electricity is turned on or off be-
cause the worn filament breaks
from heating and cooling.
Miss Whitcomb says the house.
wife can check on the condition of
bulbs when she dusts. If the dingy
look won't dust off, even with a
damp cloth, that's her cue to put
in new bulb.
Fluorescent lights flicker when
they begin to wear out and need
changing. That farewell flicker
not only is hard on the eyes but
wastes electricity as well. Some
times these fixtures need new
starter to give steady light.

Food buyers should find milk ana
its products and chickens particu-
larly good buys at the food counter
next month, the u. S. Department
of Agriculture says. Milk produc-
tion will hit the years monthly
high and perhaps the all-time rec
ord in June 1850. Chicken prices
have been currently low enough to
make chickens a popular food item.
For thrift with light, either day
light or electric, there is an ad-
vantage in light-colored walls,
woodwork, and furnishings. This
is because the white or light colors
reflect light and dark colors absorb
it.
Fertilized pasture land, properly
grazed and managed, will produce
an abundance of feed which can be
harvested for the most part by the
cattle themselves.
Several essential vitamins are
present in whole milk-two of
them, Vitamin A and riboflavin, in
important amounts.
The Delmarva Chicken Festival
will be held in Dover on June 13,
Ia and Is, 1850.

Strangely on this trip, there were

In California, Mr.. Bell revealed
not quite the same fervor for the
yellow gold dust that had taken pos
session of so many minds, but in
stead, he went back to the practice
of his former profession, opening
law office To me this is significant.
If people had gone to that new land
with only one idea, they would have
soon all persisted; twas men like
] Mr.. Bell who made community out
of the new land, providing many of
the other things that are needed by
people. He secured a small log
school hous for court room. and
there he tried many cases, some of
them involving immense sums of
money.
But of even more interest here
is the next step. There was one
John Nugnt who had started to
publish a newspaper in San Fran
cisco, and Bell soon became reporter,
and shortly thereafter, city editor,
on this paper, the "San Francisco
Daily Herald" Later he was editor
of another paper, the "San Fran
cisco Daily Placer, Times and Tran
script" and still later was editor of
the Sacramento Daily Union" In
these positions he distinguished him
self as a fearless defender for the
right, and for the underprivileged.
But Mr.. BIS stay in California
was not for long. In fact, after
less than ten years he headed back
for the East. He crossed Mexico
and stayed for a while at st. Louis,
as eastern correspondent for the
"Alta California" and for the Sac
ramento Daily Union" At that time
the telegraph line had been extend
ed most of the way across the coun-
try, with an intervening space COW
cred by pony express. In his pos
ition, and with the further advant-
age of the close friendship of the
manager of the telegraph, Bell had
practically monopoly over news
for the West Coast. The famous
match in England, between the Eng
lish Champion, Savers, and Heenan,
the "Benecia Boy" was fought at
that time and the outcome of that
fight was the subject of heavy bets
all over the country. So the people
in the Golden West waited anxiously
for the news of the winner of the
match. The news was brought by
the steamer Vanderbilt" from
England and sent by the new tele-
graph to the end of the line. Here,
it was only about half recorded when
the pany express was ready to start.
Mr.. Bell prevailed upon someone to
feed the Pony Express rider all the
oysters he could eat, at Mr.. Bells
expense, in an effort to hold him
, till the press account of the fight
could be completed. This was done,
and the news reached California in
an incredibly short time, adding
much to the fame of Mr. Edwin Bell.
By 1867 Mr.. Bell was back in Hag
erstown. Here he purchased third
interest in the "Hagerstown Mail,
and for almost thirty years more
served this community as editor,
making that paper one of high
standing, an dexerting an influence

enterprises, including the extend
ing of the Western Maryland Rail
