Tbe growing stock should be kept as far away from the adult stock or chickens as possible. The brooder house should bvEept clean. The litter should be keptclean and d*y. For most litters this means removing the old litter and putting in new Utter evwy 7 to 10 days. When a more absorbant litter Is used it may bo “bulIt-up” by first putting In 11-2 inches, then adding more from time to time. This, however. Increases the disease hasard, and sp^lal care, most be taken to prevent ‘ and eliminate •®y wet spots that may be found in the littOT, as from the water foun tains. If the poults are" given good ventilation without drafts, taught to rooet early, are not crowded, _ the brooding troubles will be greatly re duced. Approximately 2-4 squaro foot should be allowed for each poult, which means a 10 ft. x 15 ft. brooder house will take care of 200 poulU. Brooding In groups (rf 200 or less Is recommended as less trouble Is ex perienced with crowding and more uniform growth Is mada Sick ponlta should be killed and burned, and If a wood or coal brooder stove Is us ed. small poults may be burned In tbem. Waterers snd feed hoppers placed on wire platforms go a long Wtjr towards keeping the litter dry and clean. THe young turkeys should be put on a clean range; A clean range is one that has had no turkejrs, or other poultry, or turkey manure or other poultry manure on for the past two years. *1110 range should have a green growing crop, should be well drained, with no places for stagnant pools of water. If the range Is on the side of a hill, the turkeys should be first ranged at the bottmn, and mov. ed nidifll each time they are moved. It takes abont 1 acre for each 100 birds per month for range. They are usually on range '4 to 5 months, so it fronld take 4 to 5 amres range per 100 turkeys. They should be moved •very two weeks In good weather, ably be necessary to move them each and In rainy weather It would prob- we^. It Is a good plan to have the roofty, feeders and waterers on wire platforms and built on skids that are sturdy, apd yet not too heavy to be moved easily. The feed hoppers should be only 2.$ filled for If fUled to Ae top the feed will be wasted. This causes poor sanitary conditions and a financial kws In the loss of feed. Of course, at all times, skk birds shonld be rellnoved from ^e flock ImmedhUbly.

On the foundations of the victories that youth sacrificed so much to win, we now have the opportunity to raise up a progressive, productive civlliia- tlon in which tbe rights of the in dividual and the need of unbroken peace must have the highest, most enduring values. To make that prom ise of the future come true—tha real isation of which meaiu so much to the oncoming generation—Is not only the hope, but the task of youth every where. *1116 ayes of the young men and women of tha world are on the youth of the United States, search- Ing for example, Mean, and ideals.

For more than thirty years I have seen 4'H dab work aerva aa a powM-ful Incentive to millions of farm boys and girls In devalopmant of their talente, their leadership, and their cltlsenshlp. Tlmee may change, but the obpjective of 4-H work, as reaf firmed In their tan postwar goals, are based on fundamental human prin cipals that ever change, never lose their vaTue. * I nrge all mral sroung people to take an actlva part In their own local 4-H clnb program In 1144 and in yeuii following.
