Controlling Lice on Poultry
Described In New USDA Leafiet

Controlling Lice on Poultry
Described In New USDA Leafiet
Keeping hens free of biting lice
helps them maintain weight and
produce more eggs, according to
new U. S. Department of Agri-
culture leafiet.
The publication describing poul-
try louise control says that heavy
infestations can reduce egg pro-
duction as much as 20 percent.
Leafiet 366, Poultry Lice How
to Control Them, describes sever
al control methods that can be
used successfully on both COM
mercial and farm fiocks. Part OF
these are:
~ Painting roosts in poultry
houses with the organic insecti-
eide lindane, or with nicotine sui
fate.
C2) Spraying the interior OF
poultry houses with lindane.
These poultry house sprays and
roost paints provide toxic vapors
that will kill lice on roosting
birds.
Illustrations of the poultry
louise and photographs depicting
the control methods are included
in the new publication. Single
copies of Leafiet 366 can be OBJ
tanned by writing to the Mailing
Room, Agricultural Hall, Univers-
ity of Delaware, Newark.

: A good housewife knows it's

no incentive to treasure them as did
the first one.
And, too, mothers can go now in all
kinds of weather with modern cars and
good surfaced roads, so need more of
everything. I'm not asking for the old
ways, but I'm still wondering if modern
mothers aren't being deprived of some
thing very precious: The pleasure of
preparing for the new baby with her
own hands and the pleasure of going
without something she wants very much
so that she may buy for the little one.
We don't, always consider such things
pleasures but it seems to me it is just
such planning that makes a permanent

I AM A BOY nine years of age and

power for five-gallon barrel churn,
as was described in your July / paper.
Since April we have churned 20 pounds
OF butter. Most of this is in the freezer.
1t is not builder of patience for us.

loud enough and plenty of times may
be our parents patience will wear out
and they'll find electrical power to use
on the churn as on most of the other
things on the place.-Myron Pentz,

Old Fashioned Churn,' by Vera Lund

both of us. We remember time when
a churning had failed to produce but
ter. l still make butter, but have an
attachment to my electric mixer.
By the way, do you know in actual
dollars and cents how much it costs
to produce a pound of butter? My hus-
band is an ardent butter supporter. He
bitterly opposes the sale of colored
margarine, and says that the price of
butter is not too much. He believes
that, in accordance with the average
wage per hour, the price of butter is
not enough. We know the cost of pro-
ducing a dozen eggs, but have never
seen the cost of producing a pound of
butter.
enjoyed the two poems this time,
and heartily agree with the editorial
regarding comics. 1 have always been
against them because, regardless of
whether they were Walt Disney's,
Crime or Superman, when a child gets
his or her hands on one, he can't leave
1t alone until it is read from cover to
cover. The desire to read them is so
| great that 9 out of 10 children will
steal, lie or cheat in order to read one.
l have found that to be the cause of
many quarrels and ill feelings among
brothers and sisters, and among friends
of children.
To me. all funny books have an un-
wholesome effect on children. My hus-
band and I firmly believe that there
should be laws passed regulating the
sale of them, and also law prohibiting
the printing of the lurid ones depicting
the worst of the human race. If some
one with the know how could draw up
such law then present it to the parent.

Freeing Prisoners

COMMUNIST China has eXerted every cf-
- fort TO delay freeing of prisoners of
war pending political conference to dis
cuss their ultimate disposition. Continued
delay by the Communists in every confer
ence and their obstruction tactics even to
agree upon plans for conference, would
mean an Understandable time for releasing
the prisoners The Indian decision to return
prisoners on January % according to truce
terms is logical and humanitarian. North
Korean prisoners who refused repatriation

Chincse prisoners to Nationalist China on

1t can be understood why delays would
be desired by the Communists. Release Of
fighting men to Korea will strengthen the

be true Of Nationalist China. At some time

Tobacco Jubilee

last season, the highest of several years.
All Of which goes to show that there is still
a demand for a certain amount OF Virginia
dark-fired tobacco. and most probably the
demand will continue in the future It
would appear that with a short crop this
year the demand would be increased next
year.
FarmNile has always been an active
market for dark fired tobacco. \ sales sTs-
tenn providing each warehouse daily sale,
even in times of heavy deliveries, has made
the market popular with the growers.
Re-sales on this market by spectators are
at minimum, another reason that growers
find this market to their liking.
Then, too, courtesy and friendllneSs
