Efficiency Key
To Increased
Turkey Production

Efficient turk Key producers
made some money in 1862, part
ly because Of a, Is per cent re-
duction in turkey numbers. says
D. D. Meyer, turkey specialist
at Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
A larger crop is expected for
1868. Forecasters say the crop
may run over 100 million birds,
or about 10 per. cent more than
the 1862 production. IF this hap
pens. producers must work hard
er for efficiency to show a pro-
fit.
The commercial turkey opera
ton today needs high volume
production, fof even efficient OPP
erations have only a small profit
margin Fer pound.
Feed and poult costs can be
cut little. But, through better
management efficiency the cost
of producing a pound Of turkey
can be reduced. Starting with
pcults with an inherent ia t
growth rate, cutting flock NOR
tality, avoiding feed waste, and
improving feed conversion by
, marketing at an earlier age are
ways to higher efficiency.
Drugs Costly
Too many producers are rely
ing too heavily on drugs for
control of disease problems,
says Meyer. This often increases
cost of production to the point
where no profits are returned
Evidence is tn t on many
farms IS to 40 per cent of tur-
key mortality is due to manage
ment problems. Such losses can
not be attributed directly to dis
ease and are under the control
of the producer. Losses can be
reduced by careful planning and
sound production practices.
Many producers are increas-
ing production volume rapidly
With multiple brooding practic-
ed on most large turkey farms
today, the brooding and range
operations must be separated to
avoid a breakdown in disease
control.
AS production is increased,
more birds are kept per acre OF
range. Preferably not more than
5000 to 5000 birds should be
ranged in one flock, according
to the specialist. It is important
to have enough range shelters
to protect the flock.
Ranges should not be used
year after year because of dis
ease problems. When more vol
unae is planned, enough range
must be provided to carry out
a sound range management pro-
gram.
When turkeys are confined aft
er brQoding, the buildings must
be some distance apart to avoid
too much concentration which
can cause greater disease prob
lens.
Empty the farm of all tur-
keys before the next years tur-
key production program begins
Meyer advises. All buildings and
equipment should be thorough
ly cleaned and disinfected to re-
duce the possibility of disease
carry-over. Do the cleaning and
disinfecting promptly after the

Right or wrong, they believe they
are right just as strongly as Robert
Kennedy believes he is right, just as
strongly as the President believes his
brother is right.
These people have seen their once
hOnored courts become a laughing
stock. We hate to say this, for putting
1t into words makes us keenly con-
sciOus of a truth we probably have
been trying to avoid, but today the
American people have lost confidence
in their courts and in the entire system
of Jurisprudence.
These people, who are violently op-
posing what is being thrust down their
uncomprOmising throatS, feel that the
Supreme Court of the United States
has failed them, that it has given in
to pressure from previous administra-
tions, that the court is a hand-picked,
packed, deck-stacked institution that
thwarts instead of defending the Con-
stitution and ignores legal precepts
and precedentS of history
And so, lacking any means to
thwart the stealing away of the
sovereign rights of their States, they
lash out in bitterness, caring not who
to the image of America abroad.
It's right hard to make a die-hard
segregatiOnist understand the import
ance OF the image of America that
may come to exist in the mind Of a
citizen of darkestAfrica or Asia.
Those people and those countries are
too far away.
Our President is a young man who
has had high position thrust upon
him by father overly y-ambitious first
Tor one son and then, when that son
died, for substitute.
Twas Shakespeare, we believe, who
said, Some are born great, some
achleve greatness, and some have
greatness thrust upon them
To date the efforts of the father
to thrust greatness upon his son have
failed; and we would not say that
President Kennedy was born great.
lie does have All opportunity - a
great opportunity to achieve
greatness.
But he can obtain it only by leading
his people, not by trying to drive
them.
As we said, heap of folk can be
led but they will never be driven.
Americas greatness stems from the
TACT 1t has had, i'm generations past.
great leadership. But would-be die
tators, who strive to drive rather than
TO lead, cannot bring any nation to
the greatness it should achieve.
National greatness moves upward
from the grass roots, not downward
from man whose shoulders have
never yet borne the mantle of great
ness.

- How well we recall story from
years ago of an old Negro woman who
stood gazing at tiny white baby in
hospital crib.
Years before she had been Nanny
to the mother of this child and now
she was to love and serve the child
i'm the same capacity.
As she looked down at the tiny
babe, from whose clenched fist there
stuck out prominently defiant
thumb, she declared:
"My, my, that baby may be led,
but she'll never be driven"
And subsequent events proved her
right - eminently right.
From this hOmely little story we
believe that John Fitzhugh Kennedy,
President of the United States of
America, might well learn a lesson:
A heap of folk can be led but
won't be driven.
We're real distressed at the viO-
lence accompanying the determined
drive to improve the status of the
Negro citizen i'm America.
We have no intention of debating
here the merits of the goal, nor even
of debating just what the goal is:
whether it be equality of opportunity
or preferential status for a people
who, we must truthfully admit, the
white man has exploited in genera
tiOns past.
Ods being used.
MIR. Kennedy, we believe, should
be wise enough to realize that the end
never JustifieS the means; and, while
we feel that Brother Robert is more
responsible for the means than the
PRESIDENT, he, to, should face this
great truth. ,...... D..

there were eight Negroes en-
gagged in the practice of law in

The widely held opinion that
the few Negro lawyers in the
state was due to the fact that
Negro lawyer was not allowed
to represent his client in open
court is largely a part of the
legend of evil and mis-represen-

There are currently fifty-five
Negro physicians practicing in
the state, most of whom have
already passed the age of re-

A number of the larger COM

The number of Negro den-
lists in the state since the

been far below that of Negro
physicians. The first Negro den-
tist to start practicing in the
state came at about the same
time of the first Negro physi-
clan.
Currently there are about

There have been only nine
teen Negro lawyers to engage
in the active practice of law in
Mississippi, despite its popula-
tion of a million Negroes, since
the signing of the Emancipa-
tion Proclamation.
The above fact may be at
tributed to three main causes.
The political climate immediate
ly following the Reconstruction
Era and the total disfranchise-
ment of Negroes; The fact that
White Lawyers do not refuse to
represent Negroes as rule,
even in highly emotional cases;
and the vast migration of Mis-
sissippi Negroes to the north
in the wears Immediately pre-
ceeding, and after, the First
World War.
The effect of the migration
may be seen in the fact that be-

The central fact about Negro
doctors in Mississippi since the
signing of the Emancipation
Proclamation is that in a state
with a million Negroes in its
population and the cooperation
of the examining board in an
effort to increase the number,
there has never been as many
as 100 engaged in practice in
the state at one and the same
time.
There is some vagueness as
regards the first Negro to prac-
tice medicine in the state and
it may lay between DR.. Beal and
DR.. Redmond who began in
Jackson.

small number of Negroes who
have engaged in the practice of

duced, in DR.. L. T. Miller, one
