Cracked Eggs
Cost Money

If you are having problem with
too many cracked eggs from your
laying mock, maybe you should
look for the reasons, says Ray
Lloyd, Asst County Agent. An av-
erage producer with only 1000
layers may lose as much as $500
to $4,000 a month. Those below
average will lose a lot more than
that, and when prices are low
losses from cracked eggs may mean
the difference between profit OF
loss.
Where can the poultryrnan look
for causes of cracked eggs? First
of ALL. check the she'll supply. Be
sure adequate shell making ma
terials are available to the birds
at all times Mixing some shell
over the feed will help insure the
layers getting their needed supply
Check grit and she'll boxes on a
definite day each week.
Nest breakage is probably the
greatest loss. Be sure at least
one nest is provided Tor each s

shall be. provided for heavy pro
iducing strains of leghorns. Keep
ing nesting material in the nests il
also a weekly chore. Darkening the
nests may also help.
Eggs should be collected al
least three times day and not
more than 10 eggs should be put
in each basket. Keep the eggs level
in the basket while gathering
Watch also for care in handling
while collecting and carrying tC

or against the feed carrier posts

The agent also suggests yol

procedure. Be sure the egg tray 'oi

Carelessness in handling is prob
ably the biggest cause of loss il

as to just how the eggs are handled
may solve the problem on your
farm.

PUTTING DEMOCRACY INTO PRACTICE
THE CARLTON COUNTRY CLUl

THE CARLTON COUNTRY CLUB is just about COM
pleted, and it will be a wonderful addition to the overall
value Of St. Croix, and the Virgin Islands as a whole. The
planning, money, and energy spent in making this area one
Of the most attractive in the Caribbean certainly seems
justified.
BUT THERE IS one aspect Of both the creation and
policy Of this new Club which deserves frank attention. Since
it is swank, and since Swank means the expenditure OF much
money the question has been raised as to whether or not
discrimination should not be invoked as a matter Of policy.
1t may be denied that any such idea was even considered,
but the fact is that the idea was tossed around, and might
have been put into practice but for the fact that many diff
culties would confront the management, including a law on
the statute books of these Islands.
BUT WHY SEGREGATION, or even the initial ideaP It

The board voted to sell the
abandoned property at Unity at
public auction or by sealed bids,
although earlier in the evening
Donald DeLashmutt, attorney
for Mrs. Magma Smith, had
argued that the board had the
right to sell the property at pri-

Mrs. Smith, whose mother sold
the property originally to the

the right or first refusal was
promised her by previous board.

Charles Pettyman, attorney for

that Mrs. Smiths claim would
not stand up in court and that the
board has not the authority to

Editor:
Thank you for the opportunity
to vote in your poll on the up
County zoning question.
Please accept my praise for
your present fortnight reporting
and treatment of this question.
Previously it was dealt with as
a hush-hush problem insofar as
the common citizen was concern
ed, and attended by some DELHI
crate transformation delivered
probably by persons seeking only
mercenary advantage.
Even now if Mr.. Roots recon-
mendations are followed hence
forth, some areas of the upper
County are blighted by shanty
structures on plots too small, and
bit by bit the blight is spreading.
With the coming of more indus
tries into the area this tendency
to lower human living standards
will seem profitable, so more
tempting, and so likely to in
crease unless the larger lot ordi-
nance is kept.
So, thanks again for your en-
enlargement to keep the current
average high level of County liv-
ing as well as the steady implica.
tons of your editorials to make
even better what we now have.
Attendance at the Homewood
Recreation Center discussion will
surely be increased by your front
page announcement of the zon-
ing ordinance meeting.
Respectfully yours,
