TI THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. Milk Pelletizing Aids Poultry Feed Milk Products Are Found Important to Egg Output That milk products are still among the most important ingredi ents in a laying ration is indicated In results of a series of feeding tests conducted with high-produc ing flocks in New England poultry areas earlier this year. The tests, which ran an average of 164 days, were conducted at a state agricultural college, a county vocational agricultural school and commercial poultry farms. Re sults showed an average additional profit of 26 cents each for hens fed milk products in addition to rations regularly fed on the test farms. Nearly 3,000 birds. New Hamp- shires, Rhode Island Reds, Barred 'Rocks, and a Barred Cross were in- ivolved. On each farm flocks were divided into test and control pens. (The control pen received the ra 1 tion normally fed on the farm. For Instance, the state college fed the New England college conference Joseph Rosso, Hope Valley, R. I., is shown at his egg can- dler-grading machine. Raising from 12,000 to 13,000 birds an nually, Russo says he has re corded a 12 per cent increase in egg prodoction from his test flock which was fed pelletised milk - -ducts in the 1948-49 lay ing :n. laying ration, the county school used its own formula ration, and the commercial poultrymen fed Various commercial laying mashes. In each case test and control pens •vere of the same age and breed ing, and received the same care and management except that the test pen was fed a pelletized dairy products feed in addition to the pormal ration. Accurate feed cost and egg production records were kept For purposes of making prof it comparisons, 55 cents a dozen was used as an average egg price. When results were tabulated and pveraged, it was found that the test pens fed the milk product laid an average of 8 per cent more e&gs and made an average of 12.3 per cent more profit. Egg production lor test birds averaged 64 per cent throu£hout the tests, compared to B9 per cent for control birds. Aver age feed cost per dozen eggs was 19 cents for test pens, 28 cents for control pens. Culls and deaths in test pens averaged 15 per cent Highest average egg production was 74.4 per cent made by a test pen of Barred Rocks at the county school over a six-month test period. There the control pen averaged 69 per cent production. Birds in the test averaged $3.06 net income per bird (eggs over feed), compared to $2.71 per bird in the control pen. Bumper Yield This is the type of bumper wheat yields which may be ex pected by the farmer who prac tices good soil conservation procedure wherever such la necessary to full crop produc tion. Soil conservation, selec tion of good seed and attention to good farming practices gen erally always pay dividends. Animals, Fowls Experience Man's Disease Conditions Teetotaling dogs, turkeys and chickens which drink nothing •tronger than water sometimes get fthe same diseases which human beings develop from over-lndul- gence or high living. Veterinarians’ records show that ( turkeys and chickens sometimes develop gout, and dogs and other animals get cirrhosis of the liver. Uany other disease conditions of man also are common to animals No Fault of Recoil The old alibi that muzzle recoil messes up one’s shooting accuracy has been scrapped for all time by recent demonstrations at the re search laboratories of the Western cartridge company division of Olin industries at East Alton, 111. There science answered two ques tions asked by shooters since one first experienced the “kick” of a rifle. Questions answered were: Does the visible recoil of a gun occur before the bullet leaves the muzzle and destroy aim, or does the gun “kick” after the bullet la safely on its aimed way. The answer was that visible re coil does not occur until after the bullet is some 30 feet away from the muzzle, which shows apparently indisputably that recoil, or “kick*' has nothing to do with a shooter’s aim. The photograph series here illus trates how this determination was made. Here the test rifle is placed in recoil rest to simulate as far as possible conditions under which it would be fired by a man. The butt is in a sponge rubber pocket. The muzzle end rests upon a hard rubber cylinder with a depressed cen ter and upon the block of wood used as a reference point for the three micro-flash pictures. The trigger is pulled by a wire lanyard. Showing how the micro-flash pictures were made, this die- junctor wire, 1/100 of an inch in diameter, is stretched before the muzzle of the rifle across the path the bullet will take. When the bullet snips the wire in two, it breaks an electrical circuit thus having the bullet take its own picture. And here’s the proof that re coil doesn’t interfere with aim, as the rifle muzzle is still se curely on the rest, while the bul let has already left the muzzle and has broken the disjunctor wire. The snug fit of the muzzle on the rest shows recoil has not yet occurred. Other photos showed that visible recoil does not occur until bullet is some 30 feet from muzzle. AAA "Farmers and poultry rinsers who suffer losses by ruthless killings should be sure of the culprit before cottdemning the family dog,” says Dayton Parsons, Division of Conser vation trapper. "Nine times out of ten,” he claims, "the poor dog gets blamed for the dirty work of the fox.” AAA Watch Bird Bands Hunters are urged to watch for bands on ducks and geese they kin this year and to turn the bands in to the U.S. fish and wildlife service. Band numbers consist of two sets of figures, both of which are needed to identify the bird. Those cooperat ing are asked to record the band numbers in the latter, as well as flatten out and enclose the band it self, since bands returned in the mail occasionally tear through the envelope and are lost. BROADWAY AND MAIN STRECT The Go-Getter Son Learned To Take It Easy, Live Awhile -By tJfLLY ROSE- “THE OLD MAN pulled his hat down over his eyes and went to sleep on the seat. Four miles and fbur hours down the road, they came to a little house. ’Here’s your It was one of those days. What with the phones going, a show rehearsing in my theatre, and people popping in and out, my office was like backstage at an Olsen and Johnson musical. One of my appointments was with an ex-soldier who had recently re turned from the Pacific. Like a thousand, other kids, he was anxious to get a job in show business. I told him I’d get in touch with him if any thing turned up, and asked him to excuse the short interview because I was rushed. He smiled and walked to the door. "What are you grinning about?” I asked. “Oh, nothing,” he said. “I Just happened to think of another fel low who was in a hurry. The way he said it made me curious. “Tell me about the other fellow,” I said. “He was nobody important,” said the ex-G. I. “He and his father farmed a small piece of land, but except for their name and the patch of ground, they had little in Blllv Rose common. The old man believed in taking it easy. The son was the go-getter type. “One morning, they loaded the cart, hitched up the ox and set out for the city. The young fellow fig ured that if they kept going all day and night, they’d get to the market by next morning. So he walked alongside the ox and kept prodding it with a stick. “ Take it easy,’ said the old man. ‘You’ll last longer.’ “ ‘If we get to market ahead of the others,’ said his son, ‘we have a better chance of getting good prices.’ uncle’s place,’ said the father, wak ing up. 'Let’s stop in and say hel lo.’ "'If'e’ve lost an born- already,’ complained the go-getter. " Then a few minutes more won’t matter,’ said his father. ’My brother and l live so close, yet we see each other so seldom.’ “The young man fidgeted while the two old gentlemen gossiped away an hour. “On the move again, the father took his turn leading the ox. When they came to a fork in the road, the old man directed the ox to the right. ’The left is the shorter way,’ said the boy. “ T know it,’ said the old man, ‘but this way is prettier.’ “ ‘Have you no respect for time?’ asked the impatient young man. “ T respect it very much,’ said the older fellow. ‘That’s why I like to use it looking at flowers.’ “The right-hand path led through woodland and wild flowers. The young man was so busy watching the sun sink he didn’t notice how lovely the sunset was. Twilight found them in what looked like one big garden. ‘Let’s sleep here,’ said the old man. “ ‘This is the last trip I take with you,’ said his son. ’You’re more in terested- in flowers than in making money.’ • • * “ ‘THAT’S THE NICEST thing you’ve said in a long time,’ smiled A Certain Cure HAVE often known a heart to find quick com fort Through reaching out to help another’s woe. There is a healing in it, a forgetting Of one’s own self that starts an inner glow Of warmth and light where there had been but ashes, Sodden and gray because of some deep grief, And suddenly a golden flame starts singing Because another’s heart has found relief. Across the world there are so many burdens Long borne by shoulders bent beneath their load. A cure for care—a healing of one’s sorrow May be found in the lifting of a load, The sharing of it with some staggering brother. . O burdened one, to find a certain peace Go forth, reach out to help wfiere help is needed, And surely your own quivering hurt will cease. GRACE NOLL CROWELL JlfSc the old fellow. A minute later, he was asleep. "Before sunrise, the young man shook his father awake and they went on. A mile down the road, they came upon a farmer trying to pull his cart from a ditch. ’Let’s give him a hand,’ said the father. " ’And lose more time?" asked the son. “ ‘Relax,’ said the old man. The Fiction CALL A DOCTOR By Richard H. Wilkinson Corner O GDEN TURNED over in bed, muttered, then sat bolt up right. There was a wild, unholy light in his eyes. Great globules of perspiration stood out on his fore head. His hands felt cold and clam my. For a moment he sat rigid and tense. Slowly he relaxed. Then he switched on the bedside light. Five a.m. In four and a half hours it would be over. He would have en- tered Mr. Mitch ell’s office and 3 * Minute said, in effect: Fiction ‘‘ Mr - Mit 5 h f’J have worked for you for three years. I am a valued employee and feel that I deserve more money.” And Mr. Mitchell would reply— Well, what would Mr. Mitchell re ply? He got out of bed without waking his wife. It was 5:30 and atiU dark. He went into the bath room and turned on the shower. At 6 o’clock, fully dressed, he came downstairs. He put cof fee on to boil, set a frying pan over a gas Jet, cut open an orange, plugged In the toaster. Presently he sat down to eat. He ate automatically. Food was taste less in his mouth. He left the house without waking Helen. During the half hour it took him to reach the office he was be set by all sorts of terrifying fancies. He grew hot, then cold. He changed his mind twice about approaching Mr. Mitchell. He thought he’d post pone the ordeal. Then he pictured himself coming home to Helen. Helen was proud of him. What would she think if he had to admit lacking the courage to face a com mon ordinary man like Mr. Mitch- ell? Now, there was something. Mr. Mitchell was, after all, nothing more than a common ordinary man. Like himself. Built the same way. Capable of having toothaches and stomachaches and liking his “Good Lord, caU a doctor!” eggs fried only on one side. Just a man. Ogden tried to picture himself in Mr. Mitchell’s position. What would he do if an employee of three years asked for a raise? What? Why, he’d look at the matter coldly, im personally. He’d add things up and decide whether or not the employee was worth more to him in dollars and cents. He’d try to figure out in his own mind how little he could get away with paying. Ah! There was something now. If you hsked for a raise, act as though you deserved it. Give the impression that the possibility you weren’t worth more never entered your head. It was merely a matter of ar riving at a figure. People spoke to Ogden when he entered the office. Then they looked at him curiously. He wasn’t the same. He was ill. Or perhaps he had a hangover. He seemed pale. His hands trembled when he hung up his hat. He was sweating. Per haps he should call a doctor. A T 9:05 Mr. Mitchell came in, nodding and speaking to every one as he always did. Ogden opened his mouth to reply, but no sound came. He wet his lips, started to rise, sat down again weakly. Mr. Mitch ell’s door opened. Mr. Mitchell came out “Ogden!” he yelled, and his voice had a rasping sound. Ogden jumped. What had he done now? Certainly Mr. Mitch ell acted as though he was go ing to ball him ont. Perhaps fire him. Good. Firing would be a relief. It would settle the whole problem. He could tell Helen that he had asked for a raise and Mitchell had fired him and it was her fault. Mr. Mitchell was behind his desk when Ogden entered. “Ogden, I’ve been thinking about you. You've proved yourself val uable to the firm. That western deal now. You did a good job. You have the sort of stuff we need in this organization. I’m the sort of man who believes in paying a man what he's worth. Now, I need a junior partner. If you’re interested I’d like to groom you for the post. You'd start at double your present salary. Then in a year—Hey! Miss Ryan! Quick, a glass of water. Og den’s fainted!

By INEZ GERHARD W HEN JOHN DEREK first came to work at Columbia for “Knock on Any Door,” in which he shot to stardom, he said “I never knew a temperamental player to get anywhere. You don’t have to worry about my getting that way.” Perhaps the reason is that he was born in Hollywood, and that both his parents are actors. In New York to help publicize his new pic ture, the sensational “All the King’s Men,” Derek wanted to see the city, but got very little opportunity. Columbia press agents booked him so solidly for photo layouts and interviews, as well as for appear ances on the radio, that he never really had any time for sightsee ing. Donald Woods, popular leading man, joins Bing Crosby and a star- laden cast in “Mr. Music”; it’s his first Paramount picture since he made “A Son Comes Home” with Mary Boland 12 years ago. In re cent years Woods has been concen trating on radio—is currently being heard as wealthy “Richard Rhine lander” on “My Friend Irma.” He plays another rich young man in “Mr. Music.” Use of a helicopter as a traveling camera crane proved to be so ef fective for chase scenes in “They Live By Night” that RKO is now using one regularly as camera car rying equipment. In this case the plane also had its value as an aid to drama; it hovered over the play ers, to create the feeling of a re lentless fate pursuing them—and worked fine. Joseph Julian, who plays the de tective, “Sam Cook.” on CBS’s "Mystery Theatre,” literally talks with his hands.
