Injured Explorer Dies
 1,153 Feet Underground In French Border Caves

LICO ATHERY, France, (P)- Four cave explorers huddled in exhaustion Friday 1,153 feet un- derground beside the broken body of their comrade, Marcel Loubens, killed when he fell into the abyss.
 A doctor, Andre Mairey had gone down in the earth with blood plasma and medicines, but it was too late.
 Mairey and three other mem- bers of the expedition probing the Pierre Saint Martin cave near the Spanish border told com rades at the top they were so ex- hausted they had decided to sleep before beginning the task of re- moving Louben' body.
 Working desperately on the nar- row shelf in the dark, wet hole, Mairey managed to strap Loubens to a stretcher. But the explorer died shortly afterwards from his injuries and the bitter cold.
 Loubens had hurtled 120 feet to the ledge in the Pierre St. Mar tin Assure when a steel cable hauling him to the surface snap ped Wednesday morning. He was badly battered and his spine was fractured.

ONE TOM. TEN HENS

O. How many turkey hens can
be kept with one gobbler for
breeding. TO be certain of fertile
eggs? Can White Holland hens be
crossed successfully with Beltsville
toms7 My object is that White Hol-
land hens can cover more eggs and
care for more babies than the
Beltsville mother could. Yet
want a quick developing bird
with a good appearance when
dressed. - Mr.. F. M. H.. Yellow
stone County
A: Most surely the White Holland
can be crossed with the Beltsville
Whites, but can not tell you what
the results will be be. You see, the
Beltsville White is of White Holland
ancestry. They have been bred
mainly by selection. Should you
mate back to Holland hens, you will
inevitably bring out some of the
characteristics that you were att
tempting to overcome with the es-
tablishment of the Beltsville White
variety. So cannot tell you what
results you will have. You most GER
tainly would have tendency to lose
the broad breastedness that has been
developed in the Beltsville White.
After all, it is a case that you can
not have your cake and eat it too.
It is too bad that you can not have
your hens pullorum tested and then
get one of our state hatcheries to
hatch your poults for you. Then you
could brood the poults artificially.
This is so much better than running
The risk of disease when brooding
with turkey hens. That is the sure
way of passing on blackhead to the
next generation.
If you have an active young tom,
he can no doubt take care of 10
hens easily. We are frequently both
cred by having too many toms,
rather than not enough. This goes
for chicken flocks also. Too many
toms results in too much fighting
and too little breeding. Also every
tom you keep means about 100
pounds of feed through one season.
With feed at the present level one
can not afford to keep too many
toms.
