Homes Are Needed
The most scientific students Of
humanity are telling us what
good homes are the foundation Of
good community and nation
The chief probation officer Of the
city Of Louisville, Ky, has said
that in his experience he has seen
delinquent children and youths
from every kind Of home rich,
poor, educated illiterate, every
kind you can think Of, except one.
He has never seen juvenile de-
linquents coming out Of homes
where the father and mother
lived life OF harmony together,
Psychiatrists who deal with emo
tional disorders. those sicknesSes
OF the personality which can be
so devastating IN middle life,
have found that in probing for the
causes Of disturbance, they always
have to inquire into the kind Of
home in which this person grew
up For security and stability Of
character and personality what is
most needed are Christian homes.
Further, homes are needed for
training in that most difficult and
tricky Of all arts, the art Of
living with other people. We get
a successful democracy about as
fast as we get citizens who have
been learning democracy as they
have lived In their homes growing
up.-not much faster.
Whot Makes Home?
The Proverbs give many valu-
able hints and directions showing
what is needed for successful home
life One thing spelled out in chap
tiers 6 and 7 is fidelity between
husband and wife. Christians know
that this is not the whole story,
We have all seen homes where
,F ire IrlI
involved no ground for divorce
as the church sees il. and yet
where the marriage was unSuc-
ccSsful and the home no home al
all. For all that. fidelity lies al
the base Of the successful home.
The wife can't cheat the husband
nor the husband the wife. without
damaging all their relationships
together As the Proverbs point
out. the unfaithful one hurts him
self even more than he hurts his
partner Another thing needed is
peace A home that is full Of quar-
rtls is not a home but madhouSe.
For some reason the Proverbs
refer often to Quarreling wives,
seldom TO quarreling husbands.
Some one has said that 1T takes
two to make a quarrel isn't true
One nagging person can make
enough quarrels alone and unas-
sisted. to break up an. home The
m2n VINO deserts his wife, or
the other way around may turn

third thing that makes home, as
Prov 81 shows. is work Homes do
not run themselves. "GoidilockS.

PullOruIn Losses
Are Reduced
BY BOYD ELLIS

IT'S THAT TIME again when the
hatcherymen all over the country are
making preparations for another
Matching season. This year a large
number of our hatcherymen, approx
mately twO-thirdS to be exact, will be
making some major changes in their
hatchery operations. These changes,
Mr.. and Mrs. Chick and Poult Buyer,
are being made for you by the hatch
erymen participating in the National
Poultry and Turkey Improvement
Plans. They are striving to produce for
you the best products obtainable.
I think one of the best ways to show
you what is being done to improve the
quality of your chicks and poultS is to
quote an article from the USDA Re-
search Service. 1t tells the complete
story:
There's no longer any provision for
pullorum-disease tolerance in our Ma
tional Poultry and Turkey Improve
ment Plans. Flocks must be completely
free of puIlOrum carriers as indicated
by a blood test of each bird.
Attain 19-Year Objective
''The decision to eliminate pullorum
tolerance came at a biennial confer
ence of the Plans this summer. Poultry
men were saying, in effect, that they
have achieved one of the basic objec-
tives of the program embarked on 10
years ago-to reduce losses from pull
forum disease.
Commonly spread to the young
through the egg. pullorum cuts egg
production, reduces hatchability and
kills some adult birds But it strikes
hardest at the young, from Matching
till they're about weeks old. Mortality
losses may range anywhere from to
80 per cent during this period, and
birds that recover usually become car
rierS.
''Under the improvement plans,
poultrymen have directed their efforts
toward eliminating carriers from breed
ing stock and meticulously observing
prescribed sanitary measures. The
plans also provide for improving pro-
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-12-01

duction qualities by recognizing supe-
riOr breeding stock.
''The National Poultry Improvement
Plan was launched in 1885, the National
Turkey Improvement Plan in 1913.
These programs are sponsored by
USDA-ARS under Congressional auth
ority and administered in AZ cooperating
states Call but Nevada) by official state
agencies.
From the beginning, breeding-stock
recognition has been based on physical
appearance, pedigree, or performance
of the individual bird. The Conference
this summer provided that Individual
birds may now also qualify on the basis
of the family's showing, as an alterna-
tive to Individual performance. Entire
flocks may now be recognized as Per-
Torrance Tested Parent Stock when
their progeny meet the standards in a
random sample test
In Step with Research
$50 chicken and turkey raisers pro-
vide another concrete example of how
food producers keep step with research.
The turkey people, abreast of produc-
ton and marketing research, now mar
ket turkeys all year long instead of
seasonally. They produce the birds,
large or small, that the consumer
wants. The chicken people, while main
tanning their interest in purebred birds,
have broadened their program to in
clude participation of cross, incross
and other systems Of mating. By pro-
viding for recognition of performance
in terms of meat production, the
chicken people have helped their
broiler industry maintain the momen-
tum it has picked up in the last is
years.
approximately two-thirds of the ma
TONS hatchery capacity is now oper-
ating under the National Poultry I'M
provement Plan. This would seem to
be pretty fair assurance that American
consumers are going to have all)the
chicken, eggs and turkey they need.
''But the members of the two groups
aren't resting They have now included
control Of the disease fowl typhoid in
the plans on the same basis as pull
forum. And there's a third disease
called paratyphoid that has its roots
in salmonella organism, just as pull
forum and fowl typhoid do. The poul-
trymen want to see what tools research
can provide them for eradicating that
one too"
