Housing Arrangements
For Dairy Cattle

Dairy cattle have the ability to
adapt themselves to great varie-
ty of housing arrangements. This
was indicated in ten years of re-
search at the University of WiscOn-
sin, reports George K. Vapaa,
county agent, who summarizes
some of the results for Kent
County dairymen.
The experiments showed that
herds in stanchion and cold loose
housing barns produced equally
we'll. There was no noticeable re-.
latiOn between barn temperature
and milk production. High quality
milk was produced consistently
under both housing systems, feed
requirements per pound of milk
were about the same, and cold
temperatures in the loose housing
barns had little if any effect on
the health of calves that were ad-
justed to the cold.
While there was little difference
in the general health of animals
housed under the two systems, the
/ injuries observed in the stanchion
barn (stepped on teats, swollen
I hooks, stiffness and lameness)
were almost completely absent in
the loose housing barn. Approx
mately so per cent more bedding
was required in the loose housing
system.

Free Bus Rides
Ready Soon for
Wheaton Shoppers

In about two weeks residents
of the Wheaton area using the
local bus may shop free of trans
portation charge, according to
Mr.. Saul Alper, President of the
Wheaton Chamber of Commerce.
At the Chambers luncheon
meeting last week at the Town
and Country Inn, Mr.. Alper told
the group that all opposition to
the plan had been ironed out and
that contracts are being distribu-
ted to participating merchants.
Under the plan, shoppers will
receive from the bus driver a
coupon Tor coupons if there are
childrens fares to be paid worth
the amount of fare paid. These
coupons can be used on a five
per cent basis in the participating
stores. For example, five dol
lar purchase with a Csc fare
coupon, will actually, cost only
S4.75. On a dollar purchase, the
merchant will note the fact that
5 cents of the customers coupon
has been used in his store, and
the other zoe may be used else.
where.
Return trip coupons also will
be issued under this plan spon-
sored by the Wheaton Chamber,
so that shopper living in a 25c
zone could have SOC in coupon
value the next time he comes to
Wheaton to shop-his return
home coupon, and his second trip
to Wheaton coupon.
In other business before the
Chamber, Mr.. Thomas Oyster,
chairman of the public improve
mentS committee, recommended
that streets not now improved be
included in the County budget.
He also felt that Blueridge Ave-
nue. where unpaved, and the ex-
tension of GrandvieW Avenue
through to the Wheaton Triangle
be recommended for inclusion
in the budget this year. In order
to carry out this latter project
for facilitating traffic movement
in the Wheaton business area, the
Chamber will recommend to the
County Council that Lot ID, Block
E of Triangle Park be purchased
by the County. If the County can
not purchase this ground at a
reasonable rate per square foot,
the Chamber will recommend
that the lot be obtained at the
earliest practicable date by con-
demnation proceedings.

of the special post office commit
