Standby Generators
Insure Farm Power

Standby electric generators give
good insurance for any farmers
who depend on electric equipment.
In spite of the increasing depen-
dence on electricity for all types
of farm work, however, there are
very few standby generators on
Delaware farms, says Earl A.
Grouse, agricultural engineer with
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service,
If farmers are thinking of in
stalling standby generator
Grouse advises getting one that
can generate at least 5000 watts
This is the minimum power neces-
sary to operate a milking machine
furnace, freezer, water system, and
a normal number Of lamps.
"The most economical type
saws Grouse. "is one operated by
tractor. It cuts out the need for q
separate gasoline motor to power
the generator. Storage batteries
can not be used, because the gen
orators produce alternating cur
rent"
A double-thrOw switch, which
allows use of either high line oi
standby generator power, but no
both at one time, is essential fol
safe installation. When double
throw switch is properly installed
it is impossible for standby gen
Grated power to flow back into the
main power lines.
Engineers also recommend dual
voltage installations. which car
/ furnish power at 115 or 23O volts
Single voltage installations 11O

voltage to operate much Of the

Start Laying Flock
With Good Chicks

The ability to lay eggs is deter
mined primarily by breeding. says
]. Frank Gordy, extension poultry
man at the University of Delaware.
Cheap chicks cost more in the long
run than do higher priced, good
quality chicks.
Getting the difference between
good layers and bad layers in dol
lars and cents, Gordy gives the fol-
lowing example A hen laying 100
eggs year needs 8.3 lbs. of feed
for each dozen eggs produced.
One that lays 200 eggs a year re-
quires only so lbs. of feed per
dozen eggs. Figuring feed costs at
S5 per hundred, the 200 egg bird
can produce eggs for only 25 cents
This compares against a AZ cent
feed cost for each dozen laid by the
100 egg bird.
Therefore, it pays to buy chicks
from a breeder who is known to
have stock bred for high egg pro-
dUctiOn, thinks Gordy Good hatch
/ efymen nave STOCK that are the re-
suit of careful selection for early
sexual maturity, good rate of lay
comparative absence of broOdiness
and persistent production.
Disease is another importanr
item in considering chicks. When.
ever in doubt as to the Pullorun
rating of a hatchery, Gordy advises
checking with H. r. Baker, State
Poultry PathOlogist. at the State
BOARD OF Agriculture Offices, il
Dover
Check with other successful anC
satisfied pOultrymen, too, suggest
GOrdy. This is especially helpful
when you're considering new
strains for your flock.

There's something so pleasant
about getting a government check
in the mail-Or having the state
build something for us instead Of
the lOcality-or having the Fed
eral government build something
instead Of the state, that we are
likely to forget the real origin of
the money,
Actually every cent comes out
of our pockets-and / mean our
own pockets, and not the other
fellows.
The fact is, the government -
federal, state or local-ean get
money only by taxing and borrow
ing When it leyies taxes, we pay;
when it borrOws, you and l go into
debt.
Years ago, when not nearly so
many people asked their govern
ment to do things for them, it was
possible for individuals and COM
munities here and there 10 receive
more money from government than
they actually paid in. But can that
possibly be true today? Certainly
it cannot remain possible much
longer.
We are asking government TO
provide more and more. Every
tax-paying group wants special
benefits. And because there are SO
raany groups demanding and re-
eeiving government aid, our taxes
are now mounting to a terrifying
total. No one gets a free ride. Ev-
eryone pays too much.
What we must all understand is
that there is really no limit to
taxes. Government can wind uL
taking every cent we make.
Suppose we keep on asking foI
things? Eventually we may all
get federal housing, food allOt.
ments, medical care and all the
rest of it. But at the same time
we will be paying the salaries of 8
still greater and greater army Oi
bureascrats and government EN-.
ployees.
It's my belief that under the free
enterprise system we can buy thC
necessities of life MORE CHEAP.
LY than the government can sup,
ply them for us.
Haven't we already arrived a
the point where we ought to cease
to make further requests of gov
ernment, and study out ways anC
means of doing things ourselves a
less cost?
No responsible person order,

we are already paying.
The free enterprise system cal

NO. government can meet any in
dtYidual's request for special. con

And when groups demanding spe
cial consideration multiply rapid
~, tax boosts multiply rapidly.
Finally, all efficiency in govern

IKEA Lineman Killed Yesterday On Pole

A Kodiak Electric Associa- tion lineman was killed in- stantly shortly after 2 pm yesterday when he came in contact with a high voltage line while working on a pole.,
 John FarYow, 40, was pre- pairing to run a power line from Mission Road to the site of the new school building site when the accident oc- cured.
 Leon Johnson, KEA super intendent, was on the ground near the pole when Farrow apparently slipped and struck the high voltage line with his head. Johnson immediately notified the KEA plant to shut off the power.
 The fire. department was asked to send a truck with a ladder so that they could get up the pole. Farrow's safety belt caught and held him after he hit the wire.
 The body was taken down by linemen of the KEA and Kodiak Teiephohe Co. and taken to the Kodiak Mortuary. Farrow is survived by his mother and father in Renton, Washington, a sister in Bal lard, Wash, and a brother, Bud Farrow, of Kodiak Ma val Station.

Marshal Says
 Fire Siren Must Go

U. s, Deputy Marshal Clar- ence Dizney has notified the city council and Fire Chief George Magnusen that the fire siren on top of the federal jail must be removed.
 Earlier, an order was issued from U. s. Marshal Walter Huntley's office that no more city prisoners would be lodged in the federal jail. The order followed the filing of charges against Charles Skinner, U. s. Federal jail guard, for the al- ledged slugging of a city prisoner. The charges were filed by Paul Dupler who also charged that Skinner refused to let him see a client.
 Formerly, the sounding of the city fire siren and the handling of city police calls were done at the federal jail. Until some new arrangement is made fire alarms may still be called to telephone no. 2345.
 Several suggestions for the lodging of city prisoners, sounding of an alarm for fires and the receiving of city police calls were offered this week. However. no immediate solu- tion to the city's problem was evident late yesterday.
