Why Keen Urging
More Production?

AFTER READING the front page
article for Nov. l by Mont H. Saun-
derson I wondered what kind of adj
vice it was-good or bad.
He advises wheat growers to put
their retired acreage into livestock
production. It it we'll known that
there is a surplus of livestock now
without grain producers going into
livestock to add to the surplus. More
cattle numbers than ever before,
more sheep than in 1852, etc. These
SURPRISES are resulting in unprofit-
able prices for the livestock pro-
ducers.
The price-protected wheat farmer
can compete with the livestock pro-
Queer to add to his wheat income.
but the n-price-protected livestock
producer cannot, if he has no wheat
allotment, decide to raise wheat to
add to his livestock income.
It seems that, rather than advising
the producers to raise more of this
or that all the time, it would be bet
ter if the farm papers and magazines
would turn about and advise the
producers to voluntarily raise less.
This might help to reduce the farm
SURPRISES that are giving the gov
eminent trouble and expense, might
help end the Improbable prices for
many farm products, enable the farm
lands and grass lands to have more
rest and enable the farmers and
ranchers themselves to take it little
easier.
Why not voluntary nationwide
cut in all farm production for 1884,

$l97 for Staples Only

1 AM SORRY 1 gave the impress
sion that we eat only canned goods.
We do not. We have cows, chickens
and hogs, so we don't buy meat, eggs
or milk. 1t is true that the $197
figured for our grocery purchases
did not include seeds or garden and
canning supplies. 1t covered only
such items as flour, sugar, coffee,
baking powder, salt and what other
staples we use.-Mrs. Rhoda Smilka.

to be funny or entertaining.
Lots Of people have favorite
dishes. but If yours was choco-
late pie, would you eat it three
times a day? Well, that's what
happens when you watch TV
all the time. You're gorging
yourself on chocolate pie"
Red also blames some Of the
men who run TV for the
downward slide his show suf-
fered. Everybody wanted to
help hold the reins, until A.
nally I was showed clear off the
drivers seat.
IS Per Cent Confusion
after we already had edited
the films the agency would
take them and make their own
cuts without even consulting
me. And, believe me, those
ad agencies are made up of 85
per cent confusion and IS per
cent commission"
When Red left the hospital
last winter, following major
abdominal surgery, he wanted
to lay off TV for six months
but was advised to run repeat
kinescopes until he got on his
feet again.
What NBC didn't tell me
was that SO of their stations
dropped the show because they
didn't want those kinescopes,"
Red says angrily.
The big. gracious comic is
negotiating a contract with
CHS which is expected to be
signed any day now, but there
are certain things he is in
siSting upon.
Il don't want CHS to get
the idea that 1t can slip me
into one of those situation

Brooks That's not for me-"
Seasons Find
Red may not know every
thing there Is to know about
TV, but he seems to have put
his finger on some of it's ills
as far as comedians are con-
cerned.
No one can deny the fact
that when he started out on
TV two years ago his show
was considered the comedy
find" of the season. In a few
short weeks Reds show hit
the top of all the first 10 lists.
And when he walks out on
the stage here at Las Vegas
it's not hard to see that Red
still is ga very big talent,
whether he's doing a 15-year-
old routine or ad libbing a gag
around an unforeseen situa-
ton like the time the light
power failed momentarily.
If the boys operating TV
can't find a way to show Red
off at his best advantage, then
the fault is with them. Red
already has proved what he
can do.

Tips For Top Production

Keeping egg production of pullet
docks up is mighty important if
you want a maximum income from
your birds. If you are raising an
out-of-season flock you'll be espec-
aally interested in keeping flock
production up" says ]. Frank Cor
dy, Delaware extension poultry
man.
Its the little things, the basic
fundamentals that are often over
Cooked, but they make the differ
ence between the successful flock
Owner and the poor flock owner.
Start out with high quality
stock, says Gordon. Constantly Gull
out Improbable birds. Confne the
flock to the laying house so you
can watch them closely for signs
of disease.
Give the hens good working con-
ditions. Provide a dry, clean, well
ventilated house. Allow about
three to four square feet of foor
space per bird. Use 48 feet OF
feeder space and one automatic
waterer for each 100 birds.
Artificial lights aid in getting
top fight production. Have at
least one watt for each four square
feet. Another production aid is to
put hens in wire coops as soon as
they become broody.
High egg production demands
high feed consumption, stressed
Gordy. Stimulate consumption OF
high quality mash by frequent stir
ring of mash, by moistening the
mash, and by feeding pellets and
condensed skim milk" Giving
prompt attention to the little de-
tails of housing and management
pays off in big dividends. Watch
for signs of colds, disease, molting,
lice, and rats. Be on the lookout
for newer, improved methods.
Last, but most important, is
record keeping. Keep complete
accurate records on your laying
flock. Records measure flock per-
formance. Together with high
quality stock, good management.
these records are the guides to
keeping production and income up.

Pests On the Increase;
Use Dormant SPRAYS

Apple and peach growers are
urged to apply dormant sprays to
their trees as soon as temperature
and ground conditions permit.
Dormant spraying has been on
the decline" says DR.. LA. Stearns,
chairman of the entomology de-
partment at the University of Del
aware. AS result, scale insects,
mites, and aphids, controlled by
dormant spraying, are on the in
crease.
Keep trouble out of your orch
ard by following these recommen-
dations.
Apples:
1. For aphids only, use 40 per-
cent dinitro powder (11s pounds)
or its equivalent.
2. For San Jose scale, red mite
eggs, and aphids, use superior
oil e percent), or regular oil 6
percent), and 40 percent dinitro
powder Il pound, or its equiva-
lent.
8. For scurfy scale, increase
superior oil to percent and reg
ular oil to percent.
Peaches:
1. For leaf curl only, use liq-
uid lime sulfur g gallons), or
Bordeaux (4-4-10O).
2. For leaf curl and San Jose
scale, use liquid lime sulfur (12
gallons).
8. For leaf curl, scale insects,
and red mite eggs, use Bordeaux
(4-4-100) and superior oil e per-
cent?, or regular oil g percent).
4. For terrapin scale, increase
the superior oil to percent and
regular oil to 4 percent.
These sprays can be applied as
soon as the temperature is above
400 Fahrenheit. More complete de-
tails on spraying and spray sched-
ules are available from county ag-
