Suggests Fall
rood OF Chicks

The spread in price between
medium aud large eggs during the
fall months may be as much as Is
to 20 cents a dozen During the
spring months, it may be as little
as 5 cents a dozen. The fact that
large eggs are scarce and the
smaller sizes plentiful during the
fall months accounts for the wide
spread in prices. In the spring,
just the reverse is true.
Sussex County Agent Ray Lloyd
suggests poultrymen plan their
brooding program to avoid produc-
ing all the small eggs in the fall.
This would not only benefit She
poultryman financially, but would
also help to even out the supply of
the various sizes of eggs. It takes
time when the small eggs first
come onto the market to get the
public to accept them. By the time
a market has been established, the
supply becomes very limited. If a
more uniform supply of all sizes
of eggs were available throughout
the year the prices would be more
uniform.
A flock of pullets is usually
about six months old before it is
in so percent production. About
one-third of the eggs that average
pullets lay are medium or smaller
in size.
BY starting a brood of chicks in
the fall months, Mr.. Lloyd says
the poultryman keep his laying
houses at capacity and at the same
time produce the small eggs when
there is little price spread between
medium and large eggs.

Trees Heading Into Winter Need
Last-Minute Inspection
Trees are going into winter very
WELL Autumn rains have supplied
needed moisture for their feet.
Summer twig growth has "ripen-
ed" just right. harden off gradual
ly through October and November.
Buds seem adequately encased in
furry wraps and glue-like cover
ings.
This. says DON Cantwell, District
Manager of the Bartlett Tree Ex-
pert Co., is important Late stem
growth could have been killed back
by sudden frost It didn't happen
this fall. Inadequate soil moisture
during the winter could be very
harmful to trees. It's unlikely to
happen this year.
The last leaves are falling
usually from willows, apples,
hickories and mimosa. Some will
cling all winter to oaks and beech
es.
Now the trees are barred in win
ter beauty. Muscular arms of osks
seem more spectacular than ever.
Elms reach upward like explorers
in space. Naples thrust out their
limbs to catch the rain. Birches
line pretty white against back
ground of evergreens.
Look into November trees. See
which trees need pruning and
thinning; which could be protected
against. shattering winter storms
by a supporting cable or brace
now. It's still time to feed trees
for strength and yigor. Feed any
time right through the winter all
long as the ground is not frozen.
This, too, will help trees develop
new roots and send them into
spring in robust health.
Feed Hungry Birds This Winter
Put up bird feeders now. They're
simple to erect. They'll make the
birds happy and keep many of them
around all winter. Once you start
feeding birds, continue all winter,
says Don Cantwell, District Man
ager of the Bartlett Tree Expert
Co. Provide a pan of water near
the feeder. Woodpeckers, nut
matches, chicadees, bluebirds, and
catbirds are insect eaters. They
will help clean up insect eggs,
borers and bark beetles in your
trees this winter. Give them suet-
seed cakes, plain suet, peanut but
ter and meat scraps in the feeder.
Seed-eating birds attracted to
feeders are cardinal, junco, fox,
song and white-throated sparrow,
grosbeak, goldfinch and blue jay.
Sunfiower, milo, hemp, acanary
and other seeds can be purchased
at seed stores.

Members Of the District
Womans Bar Association
gathered at noon yesterday
to meet a distinguished sis
ter-in-the-law from Rangoon,
Burma.
Daw Mya Than M, who
arrived in Washington Mon
day and leaves today, is one
of Burma's % women law
yers, the only one in active
practice.
She came to the United
States to attend the biennial
conference Of the Interna-
tional Federation Of Women
Lawyers, which opens Sun
day in Los Angeles.
One might expect a woman
of her accomplishments to
have a noticeably aggressive
manner. Daw Mya Than M
does not.
Gentle Manner
The slender barrister has
a gentle face, a soft, musical
voice and an almost-girlish
smile. ]
The wife Of the Assessor
of Rangoon Municipal Cor
poration, she is the mother
of three children girl, Is.
and two boys, aged 10 and 2.
A full-time maid enables her
to be a "whole-time" lawyer.
Daw Mya Than M has
been a High Court Advocate
for the past eight years. The
High Court is equivalent to
our Court of Appeals.
To qualify for this position,
she had to attend two years
of law school after gradua-
ton from the university, de-
vote one year to chamber
reading" and spend another
as a higher grade pleader"
in the lower courts.
Daw Mya Than M actually
completed her studies and
training in 1912 but World
War II and the Japanese
occupation of Burma delayed
the start Of her career.
She is not the first Burmese
woman to have an active law
practice. THE first woman

the wife of our Chief JUS
tice."
No Prejudice
Asked If there was any
prejudice against women
lawyers in Burma, Daw Mya
Than M replied. mo. They
are considered on equal
terms with the men,"
The Burmese Buddhist
traditions, which have made
up the country's common
law for centuries, she ex-
planned, give women the same
rights as men. Women have
always been on an equal
footing. so they have never
had TO fight for it."
