Train PuIlets To Save
Time in Gathering Eggs

Training pullets to use nests on
range saves time in gathering eggs,
and the best way to do the teach
ing is by erecting the nests before
egg production starts. points out
Associate County Agent, George
K. vapaa.
In suggesting that proper care
be given eggs laid by pullets on
range, the county agent points out
that many poultrymen provide
nests in the brooder houses or
shelters, or constructed in batteries
in range equipment, and protected
from storms. Nests need to be
cool and attractive.
Pullets look for nests before
starting to lay, and if none, or not
enough, are provided they may lay
their eggs on the floor of the
brooder house or on the ground.
Eggs laid in stolen nests and not
found for several days soon de-
teriorate in quality. All such eggs
should be candled before going to
market. Eggs need to be gathered
several times daily, and during
rainy weather need protection to
keep them from becoming wet.

Built-Up Litter
Has Advantages

Summer time is the best time
to prepare built-up litter for poul-
try houses. Built-up litter is add
ed to from time to time until the
desired depth is reached. Then it
is usually left in the poultry house
for some time.
Frank Gordy, poultry specialist
for the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, says the best argu-
ment for the use of built-up litter
is the great reduction to the use
of labor for cleaning. Any litter
material can be used. 1t furnishes
base of finely broken material
which gives insulation, prevents
moisture from condensing on the
floor, and provides more evaporat-
ing surface.
Gordy offers several precautions
to follow for best results. Start
early to build up the litter and
keep the litter from becoming
damp. Replace damp or wet litter
with dry litter. Fresh litter is not
required, just rake some dry ma
terial into the bare spots. Pre-
vent the litter from packing keep
iit loose.
1t is common practice to start
ipullets on clean litter each year.
The disease and parasite angle, the
labor situation, and the litter sup
ply are some of the factors to be
considered concerning the length
of time it should be used.
In spite of precautions, the litter
may be too wet when the moisture
in the air is near the saturation
point. An application of hydrated

Corn Storage Advised
For Delaware Farmers

A University of Delaware econ
omist advises farmers to store
their corn after harvest to get the
best prices later. The problem is
one of adequate storage facilities,
says w. T. McAllister, marketing
specialist for the Delaware Agri-
cultural Extension Service.
There is so much corn on the
market during September, October,
and November that the bottom
drops out of the market" McAllis-
ter states. IF the storage faciI-
ities are available, farmers can
hold their corn until the market
strengthens" he adds.
Corn is a new cash crop for
many Delaware farmers. Farmers
who raise corn to sell should con-
slider the following things, McAllis-
ter claims: price changes grain
storage costs, farm storage facil-
tiles, and possible insect damage.
There are no set rules to tell you
when to store corn or when to
take it out of storage.
McAllister recommends storing
corn for only three or four months
to keep too much corn off the mar
ket during the harvest season.
Cost of storing depends on the type
of storage you use. There will be
the interest costs, insurance, the
cost of the storage bin, taxes, loss
due to shrinkage, and the possibil-
ity of insect or disease damage
while it is in storage.
Taking all costs into considera-
tion and using a new permanent
storage, all costs run around Is to
18 cents per bushel for six months
storage, McAllister explains. OF
this amount to 10 cents go to
pay for the storage bin. This cost
can be cut in half by using a
building already on the farm or by
building a much less permanent
type storage. Keep in mind the
minimum requirements for storage

keting Administration.

Heifers On Pasture
Need Close Attention

Yearling heifers on pasture need
to be watched carefully during
summer. Pasture may become
short, water low, salt scarce, and
flies bad. Any or all of these prob
lens can interfere with the proper
development of growing heifers,
says County Agent, William E,
Tarbell.
Dry ray is one of the best sup
plements for feed. 1t may be
placed in a rack on pasture where
the heifers have free access to it.
With this hay and fair amount
of pasture, extra grain usually is
not necessary.
Check the water supply carefully
if there is any chance of its getting
low. Plenty of fresh water is i'm
portant to help keep heifers COM
Portable and growing during hot
weather.
Salt should be available at all
times and can be supplied by salt
blocks or loose in a box.
Flies are a problem. If there is
plenty of feed and fresh water
available it permits the heifers to
fill quickly and then they can seek
some cool, shady place to get away
from some of the flies.
Keep heifers growing" is good
slogan. Tarbell reminds that when
they go into winter quarters in a
thin or stunted condition it takes
lot of feed to start them growing
again.

Blue Comb of Chickens Controlled
With Terramycin and AuerOmycin
The so-called "blue comb" di-
sease of chickens can be controlled
by the use of two wonder drugs,
terramycin and aureomycin, ac-
cording to DR.. Ernest F. Waller,
chairman of the department of ami
NAL and poultry industry at the
University of Delaware.
DIR. Waller says a number of
treatments are used. The best,
however, seems to be an addition
of so grams of terramycin or
aureomycin to each ton of feed.
A disease of pullets, 'blue comb"
is most common between July IL
and october 1. 1t is always costly
in terms of growth and lost egg
production and can wipe out 20
percent of the flock.
Good management practices
will reduce the extent of the di-
sease," DR.. Waller explains. "Ii
poultry houses are well ventilated
so the birds can be comfortable
losses will drop and egg production
will rise"
Increasing the amount of water
consumed will also help to KEEP
'blue comb" under control. A vet
erinarian in Ohio recently controll-
ed the disease in 54 fiocks by add
ing terramycin to the drinking
water. The birds should be kept
comfortable at all times.
Cooler weather usually brings an
end to "blue comb" Very few
cases are found after the first kill
ing frost. Sometimes it is found
in broiler focks where it is called
mud fever" or non-specific enter
tits.

Peaches

Peach tree borer can be check
ed if tree trunks are sprayed with
so per cent wettable DDT powder
in one gallon of water, right away.
A second application between Aug
10 and 25 is recommended. This
treatment is often more effective
than the time-honored fall applica-
tion of moth srystals.

points in mind, you will get best

IMPORTANT REFERENDUM

YER RGIN ISLANDER should avail himself Of the
opportunity to cast his vote on April 80. This is the first time,
to our knowledge, that a referendum is being conducted
throughout the entire group to determine vital questions Of
concern to each and everyone. It is most important that the
largest possible number Of citizens register their stand on four
questions. This referendum is for the purpose Of bringing
about certain amendments to the Organic Act. At least the re-
ferendum will weigh heavily in determining whether the
amendments will in fact be introduced.
THE FOUR QUESTIONS are: ~ on a single legislature
for the Virgin Islands, ~ on a single treasury, () on elecdng
a Governor, and "a a Resident Commissioner.
THE MORE COMPLEX Of the questions are | and 2.
The matter of a single Legislature for the Islands will natrr-
ally be opposed by many, and for obvious reasons. ST. Croix,
the largest Of the group, is distinctly agricultural, and must
look to that enterprise for the largest share Of economic de-
velopment. This being the case it is clear that a legislature
sympathetic to this trend is necessary.
AND THE SAME type Of thinking might be the case
with the single treasury. Because 81. Thomas has the bigger
treasury the feeling across the pond will naturally be that a
single treasury might be Of disadvantage to ST. Thomas.
BUT THESE ARE not such monster problems that they
cannot be solved. It should be relatively easy to take an over
all view Of problems and conditions affecting the entire
group, particularly when ii is recalled that these islands are
small enough, and compact enough 10 DC nanueu ds 9 uN.
IF the Congress Of the United States can legislate for 10000
600, a legislature for the Islands should certainly pose no
major problem. But in all these matters there is more than
meets the eye, and therefore everything cannot be dismissed
with one stroke.
AS TOTHE third and fourth cushions to be voted upon,
there should be no question whatever, The time has come
when the people Of these Islands should elect their own
Governor. Certainly, in a democracy, the governed should say
who should govern, and the people Of the Virgin Islands can

DR.. Jack A. Kapchan, of the
PSYCHOLOGY department of the
University of Miami, will discuss
the latest Kinsey Report Sun
day, Nov. Is at the Youth Center
under the auspices of the YMCA.
The Kinsey Report ON "The
Sexual Behavior of the Female"
has been the cause of much COM
ment due to the subject matter
as well as the unorthodox meth
cd of promotion. Early COM
ments of protest were based, in
the main, on the probable influ-
ence such a study would have
en- moral and secondarily on the
possible misuse of facts by SEN
sation seekers. AS the book has
become available and more
people have read it there has
been a change in the tone of the
general comments.
The report is technical and Of
fers nothing that is startlingly
new and much that is doubtful.
The book is scientifically correct
it is not lurid. 1t will serve as a
springboard for other studies in
the field and maybe the basis for
reviewing some of our present
mores. The report is disturbing
in that it attacks many of our
existing sex standards and as
such, seems slanted against the
generally accepted ideas Of chas-
tity.
The leading popular and wo-
mems magazines are generally
agreed that this report has much
to offer along the lines of in
creasing our understanding Of sex.
They feel that it contains highly
useful information and offers
valuable guides TO child-rearing,
parent-child relationships, har-
manious martial relations and
the understanding of many sex
problems. Parents magazine has
devoted much space to showing
how the facts as presented may
be used in the family.
Queries are sure to arise IN the
minds of adults concerning this
book. Discussion groups and re-
