placements; or 10000 broilers.
A recent survey run on differ
ent farms showed a wide varia-
ton in the amount of time spent
in caring for 1000 hens. The
most efficient poultrymen spent
only 21 minutes per day and
walked only 1-3 of a mile. The
slowest ones took 2 hours and
walked liz miles per day in
caring for 1000 hens. How does
your time compare? The fastest
poultrymen made five times more
profit per hour of labor than the
slowest one. Which do you want
to make?
Some of the factors which con-
tribute to high labor efficiency
are:
1, Having a definite schedule
to follow in caring for the birds.
2. Doing more than one job on
each trip to a pen (for example
feeding, gathering eggs, culling,
checking ventilation, stoves, etc),
3. Deducing the number OF
times that jobs are done (for
example-feeding grain only once
a day to layers).
4. Analyzing your work as
you travel; figuring how to cut
down on the number of steps.
5. Rearranging the equipment
in your pens to reduce the
amount of walking (for example
-hoppers, nests, fountains).
Mr.. Barwick does not mean
that less care should be given to
the birds; performing your work
more efficiently will give you
time to do all the extra things
which mean more eggs or meat
per pound of feed. This means
more profit for you.

Window-Type Cartons Help

Research personnel of Cornell

for effect on sales in supermar-

Labor, Machinery Costs
Compared BY University
of Delaware Farm Economists

Farm labor these days is re-
latively expensive, with wage
rates more than four times as
high as before World War III.
During the same period prices
of machinery, including tractors,
have almost doubled, and prices
of motor supplies-including gas
oline and other fuels-have in
creased about so percent.
University of Delaware agricul-
tural economists say the amount
of labor saved by letting mach
ines do the work" will continue
to be an important consideration
in farm planning.
These figures indicate that for
most field crops, good deal less
labor is used per acre than was
used in 1904. The almost COM
plete conversion from horses and
mules to tractors, trucks, and
other forms of mechanical power
and associated machines is the
main reason for the big drop.
According to the recently pub
lished statistical report, til e
greatest proportional decrease in
man-hours per acre occurred on
small grains and other crops SIM
ilarly produced. Based on 100 per-
cent for 1904, the percent of
labor required per crop units pro-
duced in 195O-53 was: all corn,
81; oats, SO; wheat, 20; hay, 55;
and potatoes, 80.

The window cartons were de-
veloped after previous research

that more than so percent of the
customers who were purchasing
eggs hestitated before selecting
the package they were going to
buy.
Nearly one-fifth of the CUSTOM
ers, Is percent, handled the
closed-type cartons now in use
comparing weights, feeling the
tops, viewing the eggs through
the end of the cartons or opening
the cartons before making their

HAVE EQUIPMENT READY
TO FIGHT FARM FIRES

If fire should attack your farm
today, are you prepared to fight
it efficiently until the fire de-
partment can arrive? Do you
know how to call the fire depart
ment, and how to direct it to the
scene of the fire quickly and ac-
curately? DO you have a ladder
that will let you fight a fire on
the highest roof? Are your roofs
protected with asphalt shingles
or some other fire-resistant roof
ing? Have you recently checked
and re-charged your fire extin-
guishers?
County Extension Agent Ed
ward Schabinger says that almost
all farm fires can be prevented,
but that farmers, often far re-
moved from organized fire pro-
lection, must look to their own
defenses to control and hold a
fire in check when it does occur.
Mr.. Schabinger urges farmers
to check their fire defenses now,
to be sure they can act swiftly
and effectively. Minimum fire
fighting equipment for every farm
includes:
1. An adequate supply OF
water available for the use OF
fire trucks and portable pumps.
2. Approved fire extinguishers
conveniently placed near all haz.
ardous locations such as the barn
machine shed, and storage tanks
of gasoline and kerosene. Ask the
fire department to be sure yor
have the right type of extinguish'
er to fight the kinds of fire yor
are most likely to have. Rechargt
extinguishers yearly where re
quired
8. Enough garden hose and {
filled water bucket for each 40(
or 500 square feet of building.
A. Ladders long enough fol
rescue purposes and to reach tn,
highest flammable roof top.
5. A back-pack pump and fir,
swatter, wet brooms or wet bur
lap bags to fight field fires.

Rural Youth Programs Planned
For National Safety Congress
ut is time to begin making
plans to get youth representation
from your organization to Chica-
go to participate in the 1854 Ma
tional Safety Congress-" suggests
Samuel NJ. Gwinn, state All club
leader in Delaware.
Tht National Safety Congress,
held annually in Chicago, attracts
an attendance of over 10000. The
dates are October 1922 inclusive.
This year marks the second spec
ial program planned for rural
youth. Youth groups from num-
ber of states will be there as
state winners for outstanding
achievements in farm safety. 9th
ers will come also to receive the
benefits and inspiration of these
meetings.
Many civic and industrial
groups should be interested in
sponsoring a trip to this meeting
for safety winners in various
youth groups, Gwinn points out.
Now is the time to begin making
such arrangements. There is no
better recognition for safety work
well done, than trip to the
largest safety conference in the
world, he adds.
The special youth section, "For
Young Farm People Only" will
be the highlight of the weeks
activities. Attendance at other Sc
lected meetings, exhibits, educa-
tional tours, group recreation and
the all-Congress party will round
out the program. Some participa-
ton in nationwide radio and TV
programs will be on the agenda.

the program contact: The Farm

Blend OfSuccess, Failure Is Expected As
Outcome OF Eisenhower, Churchill Talks

to move into the British Embassy
for an overnight stay and to take
off for a flying visit with Canadian
government officials at Ottawa to-
morrow afternoon.
Yesterday was a working day
like any other for Eisenhower,
Churchill, secretary of State
Dulles and Foreign Secretary Eden
as well as their stats. There was
an hours private talk between
Churchill and Dulles followed by a
White House lunch meeting with
atomic energy officials of both
countries. In the afternoon the
the P resi- d e 1T and the 79-year-
old Prime Minister met for a one
hour talk. Dulles and Eden with
their top advisers met at Dulles
home.
Last night the group dined at the
White House and Dllues and Eden
gave their chiefs a report on what
they had been able to accomplish
in their afternoon session, which
included work on the commu-
nique.
Such word as was available from
various diplomatic sources pointed
to a continuing disagreement over
the timing of action on Southeast
Asian security. But authorities said
that unquestionably the conferees
had made progress toward an un-
derstanding. This suggested that
they have explored the conditions
under which an alliance might be
quickly formed once the outcome
of Indochina peace negotiations,
now being chiefly conducted by the
French and the Indochinese Com

Advance speculation was that the

Split On Tax Revision Bill
Likely To Give Ike Victory

but said he thought there would be
some Republican support for tax
reduction on individuals. Republi-
can leaders, however, were con-
ceding only the loss of Sen. LANCER
(R-ND), who has announced he
fayors such an amendment.
George is head of a group which
wants an income tax cut either by
an increase in personal exemp-
tons or by q $40 tax credit to
each taxpayer figured as the final
step on his return. He said some
Of his supporters want him to pro-
pose a 5000 boost in exemptions,
a 41a-million-dollar annual tax cut,
but that he appeared to be leaning
toward a 500 increase, which
would be a $1,000, 0OO, 900 annual
reduction. A Democratic move for
500 hike lost narrowly in The
House.
Sen. Byrd (D.va), second-rank-
ing Democrat on the Finance
Committee, is opposed to any of
the amendments because of the un.
balanced federal budget. He and a
few others would like to strike out
of the bill some of the principal
revenue-losing features supported
by the administration.
A third group of Democrats
wants to eliminate from the bill
some sections they ay aid chiefly
the wealthy and big corporations.

+ WASHINGTON "a, - A blend Of
successes and failures in resolving
differences seemed destined to fol-
low today's windup of the talks on
atomic age problems by President
Eisenhower and Prime Minister
Churchill.
The prospect was that some an
iiouncement covering the weekend
meetings between the American
and British leaders and their top
foreign policy advisers would be
made by the days end, and that it
would stress the successes.
While the meetings have been
conducted in the strictest secrecy,
II Is understood the President and
the Prime Minister failed to reach
any decisive agreement for. quick
action on creation of Southeast
Asian alliance against Communist
aggression. The United States has
been urging a definite timetable.
Britain has opposed action so long
as Indochina peace negotiations
are pending.
At the same time there was
reason to believe Eisenhower and
Churchill had agreed to press for
prompt French ratification of the
European d efense Community
Treaty, under which West Ger
many would be armed.
II was also understood that they
had agreed that no effort is too
great which promises constructive
results of lifting from the world
the dangers Of an atomic war.
Officials said today's program
was subject to change should the
President and Prime Minister de-
eide they needed more time to
work on the problems which have
occupied their attention almost
constantly since Churchill arrived
here Friday morning. This meant
that issuance of a final commu-
nique could 60 over until to-
morrow.
But the program called for
