is everybody's job. No one person
can defend the United States single
handedly. The defense of our ma

the most modern branch of the

modern of fighting equipment, more
widely than does any other defense
team. Civilians today have a bet

than ever before. By joining the
Civilian Ground Observer Corps,
thousands of civilians are helping

Care OF Poultry
Ranges Suggested

The care of the poultry range is
important to those who range rear
their flock requirements, says Ray
Lloyd, Assistant County Agent.
This care is necessary in order to
provide the best succulent and pal
atable feed which will reduce the
feed bill on growing the pullets.
One OF the most important items
in this management program is
clipping the tall grasses and weeds.
This stimulates the young growth
which is most palatable and nu-
tritious. 1t also keeps down the
weeds and brush. This should be
done several times during the
grazing season.
Rotating the range is also an
important management practice.
This helps control internal para
sites as well as give the grass a
chance to become re-established.
A good rule to follow on rotation
of ranges, says MIR. Floyd, lis to
allow two years to pass before the
birds are returned to any given
pasture lot.
OOH Over CRAZE Jllc range. Five
hundred pullets per acre is the
maximum number to put on a
range. The shelters should be
moved each year TO help keep a
more uniform growth and prevent
permanent bare spots. Feeders
and fountains should also be NOV
ed weekly. Running over the range
with a harrow or drag will help
spread the droppings and thus in
sure a more uniform growth of the
pasture.
A well-managed poultry pasture
with enough rainfall will probably
furnish more green food than the
flock can use especially if follow.
ing a restricted grain feeding pro-
gram to the pullets. Range reared
pullets can still be produced more
cheaply than those raised in con-
finemes1t.
However, the agent warns that
If good range management is not
practical you are not getting the
most from the pasture,
