OW ARE YOUR PUBLIC RELATE

Business firms know how
to promote good will. You
can use their techniques
in your own private life
How do you rate with your
Ill public? Like a business firm,
you're judged, at least at first, by
your personal public relations.
For example, a business which
exaggerates its claims will soon be
appraised accordingly, and so will
you if you overstate your case.
One acquaintance of mine usually
invents a few extra details when
she tells story, so that everyone
has learned to discount what she
says. Once people mark you as a
story-embroiderer, your words will
lose force, so stick to the facts.
HE most important asset a busi-
ness can have is dependability. A
reliable businessman will be duly
cautious about the commitments
he makes, but once he has given
his word, he will go to the greatest
lengths to fulfill it. Your personal
public relations, too, will be af-
fected by the way you keep your
promises. Don't go around scatter
ing pleasant promises unless you
intend to keep them.

COccidiosis Still Poultry
Killer in Delaware

Coccidiosis is still a killer in Del
aware poultry f1ocks. Karl G.
Seeger, former associate research
professor in animal and poultry in
dustry at the Georgetown Substa-
ton, says that this disease also ag-
gravates other disease troubles,
and slows down growth and rates
of gain.
Seeger points out that during
the period 1945 to 1851, IL per-
cent of all deaths Of chickens at
the Substation were from cocci-
diosis. The State Board Of Agri-
culture reported that IS percent Of
all lots of chickens, up to 20 weeks
of age, brought to them for dag
nosis showed signs of coccidiosis.
According to Seeger, We've come
a long way in coccidiosis control,
but various forms of cocci bacteria
are still causing a lot of trouble. "
Major control recommendations
made by Professor Seeger are:
1. Allow about 34 square foot of
floor space per bird.
2. Use dry litter.
8. Use drugs.
A. Above all use good manage
ment.
