Poultry Disposal
Pit Fact Sheet

Poultrymen who are considering
building a poultry disposal pit can
get a how-to-do-it sheet from VIM.
H. Henderson, County Extension A
gent, by calling Georgetown 1858
or stopping at his office.
The publication gives some of
the many reasons for having a
disposal pit and goes into detail
on how to build one.
A disposal pit is cheap, safe,
clean way to dispose of dead
chickens, Henderson says.
Disposing of dead chickens i'm
mediately is an important disease
prevention measure. If dead birds
left out where they can be eaten
by other chickens, rats, dogs, flies,
mosquitoes, or other birds, you will
often spread the disease to your
neighbor's flock as we'll as main
tanning it in your own.
If you need a disposal pit, stop
in and ask for the fact sheet titled,
Poultry Disposal Pit" the agent
says.

the four of diamonds! Every

Il meant to play one of the

Now South was not a good
player. but he did have a good
eye for crocodile tears. So he
stood by North's play OF the
four of diamonds. East won
with the eight of diamonds and
returned a spade. South led his
other diamond and made sure
to play the king this time.
There was no way to stop de-

Now let's get back to East
and his crocodile tears. He
wanted declarer to play the
king of diamonds on the irst
round of that suit. East would
refuse that trick. And then a
very easy hand would suddenly
become very difficult Decla; ;er
continues, let's say. with the
queen of diamonds. and East
takes the ace. East returns a
spade. and South needs two
entries to dummy-one to de-
velop the diamonds and an
other to cash the last diamond.
South would sink without a
trace (although there is a
fancy way to make the hand if
you can see all of the cards) &.
But he had no trouble after
North's actual play of the low
diamond at the second trick.
Very nice judgment" South
said grudgingly to his partner.
And North smiled modestly, as
usual.

reports from the Government.
The conspiracy charge. based

one of a long line of legal ac-
tions against Guterma that
probably will take years to
untangle.
He is accused in other in
dictments of milking the firms

lars through devious schemes.
One indictment alone in the
series could bring him up to 130
years in prison if convicted.

Testifying before the Senate

there existed within the FTC
uncertainty as to its upowers
over drug advertising III medi-

He recalled hearings by q

The American Medical Asso-
citation, which should be vitality
concerned, Mr.. Blatnik said
was un-cooperative and ever

went over false and misleading
tranquilizing drug advertising.
There was no doubt follow

QUILTING drugs was prevalent
at the time of the hearings
and no action, public or private

taken since that time to cor.
rect the situation" Mr.. Blatnik
