q corking fiim which launched
Hollywood on its quest for the
rnotionless movie with . western
setting.
"A Man Alone" the work of
Republic Studio. which used to
make the dizziest of horse
operas. not only stars Ray
Milland but launches that urbane
fellow on his career as director.
It permits him TO play the role
OF q gun-fighter who obviously
would have been much happier
teaching English composition,
especially In q girls finishing
school.
This is o not unintereSting
type but his hrooding reluctance
to put another notch In his six
gun can be taxing on the pa
thence OF those who never have
shared that dilemma. As q
matter Of fact, Milland carries
his Observation-Disclosures to the point
that he undertakes at one point
to beat the villain to death with
his bare hands. This may vary
the monotony for him but 1t
slows down the picture for
moviegoers brought UP on old
fashioned western justice.
Actually. to It's credit, "A Man
Alone" Is both modest and con-
scious Of its resemblance to d
great many other recent west
erns. Both as its director and
star, intelligent Milland lifts IL
occasionally above the routine
level Of its script.
He gets some rather attrac-
tive assistance on this score
from q new girl named Mary
Murphy. and some rugged aid
from such seasoned veterans at
this sort Of thing as Ward Bond,
Raymond Burr and Lee Van
Cleef. among Others.

Fluid Milk Production
On Increase In Delaware

Fluid milk production has been
on the increase in Delaware in the
last 10 years, according to a
recent report from the depart
ment of agricultural economics at
the University of Delaware. In
1858 fluid milk made up nearly 10
per cent of the total cash farm
income, while in 1945 fluid milk
constituted only 6.3 per cent of
the total cash farm income in the
state.
Over 10 million dollars in gross
cash farm income were received
by Delaware farmers in 1858 for
fluid milk, while in 1945 farmers
received nearly six million dollars
gross income from fluid milk. In
1858 New Castle county produced
1884, ,091 worth of fluid milk
Kent $4,173,728 and Sussex ST.
$751; Fluid milk ranks second
in total cash farm income receiv-
ed in Delaware, second only tc
broilers.
In 1858 there was an increase
of 1900 cows in Delaware ovel
the 1943-52 average. There wa'
$4,000 cows on record in 1858 ant
&c. 200 cows were recorded for the
1943-52 average. Milk production
has increased from an average o.
4,914 pounds of milk per year fol
the 1943-52 average to a high o
$3.50 pounds of milk per cow il
1858.
According to Delmar Young
state extension dairy specialist
the Dairy Herd Improvement AS
sociation can be credited for a 10
of this increase.

Gear Poultry Houses For
Winter Operation

Laying hens will roll out the
eggs even in the coldest weather
if their houses are geared for win
ter production, says Asst. County
Agent Ralph Barwick.
They won't seem to know the
weather has changed if ventila-
ton, lighting, litter and watering
and feeding devices are set pro-
perly, Mr.. Barwick claims.
Laying hens need plenty of
fresh air but chilling drafts can
spell trouble. Never close the
house entirely. Open the windows
from the top and leave eight or
10 inches of ventilation even when
the temperature drops below 80.
Air drafts are caused by cross
ventilation. Check to see that back
and end windows-which were
opened during the hot weather.
are closed tightly.
Check for leaking water foun-
tains and make sure the birds
aren't wasting too much feed
Less waste results if the feeders
are only about one-half full.
When a bird goes without wa
ter, she stops laying. You may
need some type of heating unit
for watering fountains in areas
of much freezing weather. Sol
heating cables, electric lights anC
commercial heating devices are il
common use to keep drinking wa
