PSC Debaters End
Season With
Eight Victories

DIR. Bills debaters of Philand-

debates won and one lost. The de-
baters carried out forensic en-

universities.
The team of five persons toured
the southern colleges successfully
winning all debates. Returning
home. they defended the affirma-

accomplishment and her scho.
larly achievement in touring the

question the splendid record She
built up for her city and COM
munity. She managed to get thru
by courage and gentle pressure.
1t is also fair to state that such
movements are sponsored by we'll

are prompted by desire to share
Dear Editor:
Those that we have chosen as
leaders in our government were
chosen because of the confidence
We had in their integrity and a.
bility to guide and direct the
ship of state. Economy is one Of
the essentials in government af-
ter work is done to build govern
ment. If the ones we choose TO
lead have the ability to lead they
should lead not only in work but
set the example in economy in
time and earnings. There should
be nothing withheld from the
people for they are the suppor-
tiers of the government which is
built upon their confidence in the
leaders.
Too much secrecy in govern
ment should be avoided. Things
done in secrecy will be seen on
the housetops says the scripture
Every honest effort by any one
needs not to be hidden from any
one. Truth and honesty are not as
named of their acts. Laws and
rules for the good of the people
don't need to be formed or en-
acted in secrecy. A thief Is the
only one that does not want to be
seen doing his deeds for his con-
science says, mot right. Honest
law makers should know what
the people want, not the few
rich and influential. but the host

pany stresses oats in the growing
ration, which of course is all to the
good, I have a strong suspicion that
they are hitting at those poultrymen
who make a practice of keeping the
young stock on a very high protein
ration all during the growing period.
This sort of a ration causes the
pullets to come into lay at about to
Az months. They have not made
their full growth and cannot stand
up under heavy production. What
they do is lay a few eggs, then go
into a mott and remain out of pro-
duction when eggs are high priced.
Therefore it would be my advice
to feed a wider ration" or one which
has less protein during the growing
period. 1t is always well to feed some
ground feed, if for no other reason
than that the birds will not find
mash strange when they are put on.
full feed at six months. Also it
makes an excellent media for min
erals which need to be added.
But if a person is looking for !
way to grow puIlets cheaper, he
had better make the greatest use pos
sible of an alfalfa range. We have
found that by moving the birds fire.
quently, that is about every 10 days,
so that they will always have an
abundance Of green succulent feed,
and of course many free bugs thrown
in, a poultryman can cut down grow
ing costs from IS to 20 percent. If
you happen to have about 3 gallons
of skim milk per 100 pullets daily,
together with the adequate range, it
is true, that about all that will then
be needed is some ground or crushed
grain and few minerals. Oats
should comprise at least a third of
the bulk of the grain.

Poultry Research
If You're Going Into Poultry
Consider These Factors
Poultry Research
By DR.. E. K. HALBROOK, Head
Department of Poultry Industry
MOntana State College

THERE ARE SEVERAL factors
which should be considered by any
one in deciding whether or not to
establish poultry project. Some of
these are:
/. Interest in poultry.
2. Market for eggs and poultry.
3. Available housing and equip
ment.
A. Available labor Hannily labor
is the cheapest.
S. Need for a source of current
income.
6. Available finances.
We seldom find successful poul-
try floclzowner who is not interested
in poultry. There are too many man
agement details which are over
looked by disinterested poultry
keepers.
Marketing is one Of the major
problems facing Montana poultry
producers. There are very few poul-
try processing plants and some pro-
ducers find j. necessary to dress and
retail their own poultry The ma
jority of Montana eggs are marketed
through stores and sometimes their
outlets become clogged, especially
in the early spring. As the poultry
project size is increased, the market
outlet becomes more important.
Building Requirements
The construction of new buildings
for poultry is expensive at the pres
emit time. Remodeling of existing
buildings on farm is much more
practical One hen requires from :
to 4 square feet of floor space and
each chick at least one-half square
foot. One square foot of floor 9pace
is recommended for each broiler.
An old IS by 70 foot dairy barr
was remodeled for poultry on the
Montana State college poultry farm
The first floor is used for brooding
grain storage and feed mixing. A
third floor was added above thu
former hay NOW, windows wer,
placed in the south wall and the sec
ond and third floors are now use,
for layers The addition of an ele
vator, litter chute and runnin
water IN the barn constitutes tn
major revisions made.
Approximately 1000 chicks can b
brooded In this barn at one time
and 700 to 300 laying hens can b
housed A war surplus garage wa

houses especially for poultry.
The labor required in handling
poultry is dependent primarily upon
kind and arrangement of housing
and equipment and upon manage
nent practices. The use of built-up
litter where the litter is stirred and
new litter added, rather than
changed, is one of the most common
labor saving management practices.
It also saves on litter material cost.
The use of dropping pits instead of
dropping boards viii save many adj
ditional hours of cleaning labor.
Since each 100 hens win consume
at least 715 tons of water and 4 tons
of feed In a years time, labor in
carrying these essential items to
laying flock is a major item if they
are not conveniently located Run
ming water under pressure with
automatic outlets and drains are de-
Sirable.
Automatic poultry feeders with
chains pulling feed through troughs
and hopper large enough to hold
500 to 400 pounds of feed are avail
able on the market. They are eco
nomical to use on large flocks of
around 800 to 1000 birds and could
be recommended under certain con-
ditions for smaller units.
Bulk storage space within the lay
ing or brooding house should be pro-
vided as a means of reducing labor
at least. These labor saving practices
and equipment become more inn
portant as the size of the flock i'm
creases and hired labor is used in
place of family labor
Few farm enterprises will take
the place of poultry in supplying
cash for meeting daily or weekly
food and clothing expenses. The
dairy herd and poultry flock are
unique in this respect. Some farm
families may not find this important
and it is less important in times Of
farm prosperity than in times of de-
pressions. However, it is one reason
why approximately 80 out of every
100 farms in Montana have poultry
The other major reason for a poultry
flock, of course, is the food supplied
for the table.
Costs Increased
The cost of establishing and main
tanning poultry flock has increased
along with other increasing costs
Few farms can supply all the item
needed for a complete poultry
ration. Most farmers buy a CONNER
cially mixed mash to feed with HON,
produced grains. Almost equal part
of mash and grain are usually fe,
to laying hocl1s. One hundred hen
will consume a total of at least 1
pounds of mash and u pounds Q
grain daily. Growing stock will re
quire from "a to 80 pounds of fee,
before production starts.
Chicks viii cost from 18 to q
cents each, depending upon whethe
straight-run or sexed pullets ar
bought Seized cockerels can b
bought for 4 to is cents each, de
pending upon breed. The total COS
of buying, rearing and bringing 10
pullets into production viii ru
close to 5000 at present prices if "
disregard labor and equipment cost
This cost should not be overlooke
IN deciding to go into the pouItr
business. The financial source Shout
