to the first full pay period be-
ginning last January. In most
cases. this is January IL, 1858.
@. when can we expect to
receive our retroactive pay
checks?"
A. 1t will probably be about
d month before most agencies
issue the retroactive pay
checks. Not only is there con-
siderable bookkeeping for the
agencies, but a supplemental
appropriation by Congress is
needed to finance the retroac-
tive portion of the increases.
Quick Action Expected
@. "IS there any danger that
Congress will refuse this sup
Elemental approximation"
A. All indications are that
Congress will quickly approve
the supplemental request to
be made by the White House.
@. "Will q supplemental APP
preparation be necessary for us
to receive our 10 per cent
raise?"
A. No. The White House
probably won't ask Congress
for a deficiency appropriations
to cover the regular pay raise
cost. In the meantime, Fed
eral agencies have the money
on hand to pay the 10 pei
cent pay raise.
@. How soon will the 10 pei
cent pay raise turn up in oul
regular salary checks?"
A. This may vary from
agency to agency. but generally
it probably will be in the first
payday in July.

this can easily lead to inefficiency

Ing to poultry specialists.
A brOoder stove rated to a ca
pacity of 500 baby chicks doesn't
mean 1t will provide adequate
brooding space for that number
after one week.
Top Delmarva broiler growers
never put more than 500 chicks
per stove. They know that. if more
are put under brooder there will
be crowding and not enough space
around the brooder for enough
waterers and feeders. They say it
is better to have four stoves op-
Grating smoothly than three going
full blast.
Other things to consider are the
design of the stove and the type of
fuel used. Ventilation and house
construction are two other factors.
In a house that is not well insu-
lated or has a high ceiling, a
greater amount of brooding capaci-
ty is needed SO the brooders will
provide enough heat to properly
ventilate when the birds become
three or four weeks old. This addi-
tional heft is important during
vaccination reaction or stress when
both warmth and plenty of ventila-
tion are needed at the same time
to prevent respiratory diseases
taking hold.
Keep Delmarva Growing! Don't
crowd birds under brooder. Allow
at least one stove for every 500
baby chicks.

The college-bound group,
however. were concerned about

nine per cent said they felt
their chances for college had
changed for the worse in the
past IL months. Reasons for
the change, in many cases, were
financial.
One Dorchester CMass.) boy
reported his family was hav-

planned. Several, who had
not planned on seeking schol-

that their grades aren't good
