HOw's Your Barn
For Safety

More time is spent in and
around the barn in the fall and
winter months so safety then be-
comes more important. Now is the
time, however. to go over the barn
with a critical eve for hazards and
inconveniences, and make neces-
sary repairs before the fall and
winter months arrive, suggests
William H. Henderson, Sussex
County Agricultural Agent, George
town. Some hazards may have re-
mained unnoticed for years, just
because you're used to them.
Check for loose objects or OBJ
stacles which could cause falls.
High door sills, sharp changes in
floor levels, weak boards, and pro-
truding cleats should be removed.
Do some house cleaning around al
leyways or work areas cluttered
with feed, tools, old harnesses, feed
carts, and small items.
Don't work in the dark, have
plenty of lights throughout the
barn, especially in dangerous cor

over the birds. The Act permits
the destruction of birds that NAV
be damaging agricultural crops or
other property, all under permits
issued by agents of the Govern
ment. 1t authorizes the making OF
regulations to meet changing con-
ditions so that the waterfowl and
other migratory game birds may
be protected in accordance with
such situations as arise from year
to year. Hence each year hurried
telephone conversations with the
Fish and Wildlife Service person
mel in Washington who accumulate
last minute data from the breed
ing grounds in Canada and come
up with regulations where migra-
tory birds are considered first and
the desires of those who want to
take them second.
Had it not been for the foresight
and the persistence of those early
conservationists there is little
doubt that legal hunting of water
fowl as we know it today would
have been a thing of the past many
years ago. Those who criticize the
annual hunting regulations will do
well to ponder the history of mi
gratory birds.

Train Pullets To Save
Time In Gathering Eggs

Training pullets to use nests on
range saves time in gathering eggs,
and the best way to do the teaching
is by erecting the nests before egg
production starts, points out Ray
Lloyd, Assistant Sussex County
Agent, Georgetown.
In suggesting that proper care
be given eggs laid by pullets on
range, the assistant county agent
points out that many poultrymen
provide nests in the brooder
houses or shelters, or constructed
in batteries in range equipment,
and protected from storms. Nests
need to be cool and attractive
Pullets look for nests before
starting to lay, and if none, or not
enough, are provided they may lay
their eggs on the floor of the
brooder house or on the ground.
Eggs laid in stolen nests and not
found for several days soon de-
teriorate in quality. All such eggs
should be candled before going to
market. Eggs need to be gathered
several times daily, and during
rainy weather need protection to
keep them from becoming wet.
Milford chronicle., 1956-08-31

ners or work centers. Avoid stor-
ing loose materials overhead. Forks
or other barn equipment with
sharp points or edges should be
stored in safe places.
Hay NOW doors, feed chutes, and
ladders need special attention.
Keep stairways clean, and have a
handrail. Loose hay and straw
can be as bad as banana peels at
causing falls. Where ladders are
used, they should extend well above
the loft floor, with well spaced
rungs. All elevated platforms
should be equipped with a railing.
too.
Remember, there are more fatal
accidents in agriculture than any
other industry. Don't let them
happen in your barn, or on your
farm; make those necessary re-
pairs today.

On wintering grounds in North
Carolina local buyers paid not less
than 100000 annually to the 400,
duck hunters of that region, the
fowl generally being shipped to
Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New
York. A duck buyer at Norfolk,
Virginia, had a storage warehouse
and throughout the shooting sea-
son would sail his boat to the diff
ferent gunners who were operating
in sink-boxes, batteries or blinds
and buy their ducks. These he
brought to Mill Landing, packed
them in barrels of ice and sent
them to Norfolk by wagons, often
as many as 1000 birds at a time.
He seemed to have had pretty
much of a monopoly ON the duck
shipping business in Back Bay
from 1888 until the sale Of ducks
was prohibited by Federal law on
July 3, 1918. His harvest of ducks
began early in October and con-
tinued for six months every sea-
son for thirty years.
And these were the privileges
being handed down by father,
grandfather, and great grand
fatherl The day of such excessive
killing was bound to come to an
end; the supply of waterfowl was
not inexhaustible.
Those who drafted the Migratory
Bird Treaty Act were farsighted.
The law not only establishes re-
straint over the hunters by autho-
riZing limits of kill and means by
which game may be legally taken,
but it also provides for control
