GRANGE FAyORS VOTE DEPT.

GRANGE FAV0RS VOTE DEPT.
The Delaware State Grange is on
record in favor of a State Depart
ment of Elections to tabulate the
results of the voting.
AT the closing session of its 88th
annual conference in Dover, t h e
Grange also urged creation of
bipartisan board of elections,
whose members would be selected
from lists provided by the state
political party chairmen.
The Grange resolution also calls
for a better system of counting
absentee ballots "as many people
under present law lose the priYi-
lege of casting their vote

P0ULTRYMEN MUST WATCH
SECOND YEAR LAYERS - Sc G.
ond year layers usually are larger
and lay fewer eggs than in their
first year of production. Because
of this they require more feed to
produce a dozen eggs. The eggs
are larger and bring a higher price
but usually have more shell prob
lens.
Poultrymen with second year
layers should keep egg production
and feed consumption records so
they will know which ones are no
longer profitable. A five pound
bird laying at the rate of so per
cent production requires about six
pounds of feed per dozen. At 45
percent she requires about 6.8 lbs
and at 55 per cent, Sc lbs. of feed
per dozen eggs.
is YOUR BULK MILK TANK
REALLY CLEAN? - Your bulk
milk tank may appear clean under
the normal visual inspection, but
there may be a thin film of protein
clinging to the metal.
To be sure, a small area of the
tank should be thoroughly cleaned,
using an abrasive powder, or
concentrated washing compound.
1t may be applied with a filter pad,
scrubbing the area thoroughly.
A five or six inch square is suf-
ficient to determine if the rest of
the tank is clean. If you can see
any difference in appearance, you
know the tank has not been prop
erly cleaned. Under this circum-
stance, an acid cleaner followed by
an alkaline cleaner should be used
to clean the entire tank.
GET MACHINES UNDER COVER
Get your machinery under covert
Winter will bring bad weather -
bad for machinery stored under the
apple tree.
Expensive machines, such as
combines, balers, corn pickers,
grain drills and forage harvesters
should be housed under a roof.
If there isn't enough machinery
storage space under roof, tillage
equipment, such as plows, d s X S,
harrows and cultivators can be
stored out of doors after they have
been thoroughly cleaned, painted
! and the metal parts that work in
the soil coated with a rust pre-
Yentive. Then cover them with a
piece of plastic sfeeting, which
will provide satisfactory storage
until they can be placed under a
roof.
FELTON, APPROVES VISUAL
AID-The FELTON, Board of Educa-
ton approved a plan to establish
an audio-visual program in FELTON,
schools that will top most pro-
grams in Delaware.
The board approved the plan
submitted by William E. Cline, ele-
mentary principal, at a recent
meeting.
The program calls for spending
800 in the next five years for
maps and world globes in the el-
mentary school.
Another $50 per year will be
spent for needed film in history
and geography Matching federal
funds will be used also to purchase
audio-visual materials for tn e
classrooms including projectors,
screens, tape recorders, and fill m
for science and mathematics.
Cline feels the program can be
superior to most such plans in the
state at the end of five wears
