Ingenuity Is Needed In Poultry Business Poultrymen Devise Easy Ways oi Doing Old Chores It takes more than hard work to make money in the poultry busl ines*. It takes ingenuity too—lots of jit. This is the intangible quality iwhich enables farmers to devise 'new, faster and easier methods of doing old chores. For example, one poultryman solved the problem of removing The picture above is the lit* ter shaft invented by one poul tryman. The elongated box like structure to the right of the main structure houses the electric ventilating fan — one being located on each floor. litter from each floor of his three- story chicken house in a simple, inexpensive way. His plan was to extend a two-foot square flue from top to bottom of his poultry struc ture. The end of the flue opened into a feed lot. Openings, which can be closed by hinged doors, were constructed in the flue at each floor level Litter is scraped into the open ing with a converted electric lawn- mower—the cutting knives being replaced by a small bulldozer blade. Litter drops down the chu„e and into a manure loader, parked at the feed lot end af the flue. Treatment of Seed With Fungicides Stressed Treatment of grain seed with ef fective fungicides to insure better stands takes on additional impor tance this year, the U.S. depart ment of agriculture reports. The department says the average cost of a few cents an acre makes failure to take the precaution not only thoughtless but reckless. Fungi cidal treatment of grain seed is mostly tor the smuts and other con trollable diseases of wheat, eats, and barley and for the seed rots and seedling blights of corn and sorghum. Department officials contend it is fortunate that much seed, such as hybrid corn, is treated at the source. Also there are large-scale treating plants where farmers may take their seed for treatment. - “Farmers who hire someone to treat their seed should make sure that the proper chemicals are used and that they are applied at the recommended rates per bushel.” de partment officials warn. Corn Must Bipen—Because many farmers had a great deal of soft corn this year, they will be looking tor hybrids that will ripen next year. A check on results of local corn demonstrations will be of some itelp. Vegetable Washer By removing the bottom from a sturdy wooden box and nail ing a piece of wire mesh (dis carded window screen) in its place, yon will have an excel- leat “washer” for the vege- taWes you grow. Place the box, screen face down, on the lawn and play the hose on the veg etables in it. This will remove all dirt. BDT Is Being Replaced By A New Array of Chemicals miracle insect-killer of a few years ago, is losing ground to a whole new array of chemicals tha’ destroy biting parasites of livestock and pets, the American Veterinar> Medical Association journal reports Shortcoming of DDT created a need for hew insecticides in livestock and farming, and the need is bein* filled with methoxychlor, lindane and chlordan. Farmers should be instructed on their use. MIRROR Of Your MIND Patriotism Stems I ■ ■ From Security By Lawrence Gould Does loving your mother make you patriotic? Answer: This is the suggestion of an eminent psychiatrist and certain ly love of your country is not in born in the sense that love for your self is. It seems likely that the friendlier and more secure a baby finds the home that he grows up in, the more he’ll tend, as he grows older, to widen his devotion to it so as to include his larger home or country. Conversely, it is doubtful where children of unhappy homes are likely to be patriotic. It is in teresting that in “The Traitor”. Mr. William L. Shirer depicts his central character as the child of a domi neering and unloving mother. Can any ailment be “com pletely cured”? Answer: Probably not in the sense that your condition will be the same as if you had never been ill. Every thing that happens has enduring consequences one way or the other, and doctors today prefer to use words like “arrested” or “remitted” rather than “cured”. But in many May a doctor make his patients ill? Answer: Yes, though unintention ally, says Dr. Franklin G. Ebaugh, Professor of Psychiatry at the Uni versity of Colorado. A doctor may cause an illness or make an existing illness worse by the way in which he examines patients, his manner toward them or his attitude toward their symptoms. This will be be cause he does not recognize the emotional factors in illness, can not treat minor emotional disorder! if he recognizes them, or fails to realize how large a part his own feelings and behavior play in both the cause and the cure of disease.

Barton 1 MET ONE of my old school mates recently and he asked me how he looked. I told him he looked well, if not better, than when he was a youngster. He gave me a triumphant smile and said, “Well, I’m a vegetarian!” I asked him if he drank milk, but I received no answer. Milk is as much an animal food as meat and from the standpoint of protein (now con sidered our most valuable food) milk is richer in protein than meat itself. Protein foods are the source of what is known as the amino acids which are needed for growth, re pair, reproduction, and, what is equally important, needed for the juices used in the various body processes of stomach, liver, kidney, heart, bloodvessels. While most of us think of animal proteins as the only proteins, we are learning from outstanding nu tritionists that vegetable proteins are also needed in an all-round diet. In the British Lancet, Dr. D. P. Cuthbertson states that it is now known that repair of , tissue where proteins are need ed is only possible where all the required acids are avail able together in the right pro portion at the same time. In addition to these proteins the carbohydrates (bread, sugar, potatoes) must be used daily as carbohydrates, in addition to supplying energy, help burn up the proteins, thus making full use of the valuable protein eaten. It is a remarkable thing that adults have learned to eat about the right proportion of proteins, 14 to 15 per cent of their total intake, but unfortunately many children do not eat enough of them. Also our teen-agers, adolescents, because they can often choose their own diet, do not eat enough proteins and are satisfied with starch foods which, while giving plenty of en ergy, do not supply the building material or repair material needed at this age.

WNU Correspondent Congress Forgets Bills cases, overcoming physical or men tal illness leaves you better off than before—you may have devel oped an immunity which protects you from further infection, or may have developed a degree of insight (self-knowledge) which you would not otherwise have had a chance to gain. ipHE MARKED tendency of this ^ congress to resolve itself into an investigating body instead of a leg islative body is causing some con cern to congressional leaders be cause important legislation essential to the national security is going by the boards, concern over excessive expenditure of money, and concern that over publicizing through movies, television, radio and other mediums is focusing attention on*’’ conditions much less important, in sofar as the nation is concerned, than whether our democracy is to survive Communist aggression. Nothing this congress will do will stamp out gambling so long as the states retain their sovereignty and maintain control over their own laws. Reform elements in the con gress fought through one session and could not pass a bill which would prevent shipping 'lot ma chines in interstate commerce. The law finally was passed in this con gress. However, the manufacturers of slat machines will still make them and they will get around this law by establishing branch plants in states where conditions warrant their operation to evade the inter state shipment. There is an old axiom that you cannot legislate faith or morale and the proposal of Senator Fullbright of Arkansas, chairman of the com mittee probing the reconstruction finance corporation, to set up a code of morals for government em ployees and members of the con gress was simply ridiculed. The question of jailing gangsters, gamblers and heads of crime syndi cates is a matter for local police authorities. All are caught sooner or later. The bureau of internal revenue says it has under scrutiny the income tax returns of 2,500 or more gamblers and questionable characters involving some $50,000,- 000. The “T” men wiM get them sooner or later. There are sufficient laws on the state books now to put every law violator behind bars. This congress will never pass a law to outlaw horse racing, nor to prohibit newspapers, or wire services from carrying race results. Good law abiding folks will still play poker and bingo and they’ll bet on the outcome of football games and bas ketball games and other sports events. © 0 & Let Salads Provide Zest to Mealtimes On Warm / Lazy Days Neither Maryland, nor Florida, nor any other state where racing is legal and where pari mutuel betting provides a juicy state income will soon abolish their race taacks. The televising of the proceedings of the Kefauver senate committee in New York investigating gambling pro vided rich entertainment for mil lions of folks with eyes and ears glued to their sets. However, the televising of a rich, racy murder scandal would prove much more in> teresting. McFarland Protests In this connection. Sen. Ernest W. McFarland, of Arizona, Democratic leader of the senate, after listening to three hours of bickering and name calling over the political sig nificance, if any, of these senate' probes, said: “The time has come when we should spend more time on legisla tion if we are to do what is expected of us. I say that in all kindness. One investigating committee alone has spent a quarter of a million dollars upon an investigation within the last year (the Kefauver committee), which is a considerable sum of money for one committee to spend. I hope this body will not resolve it self into a group of policemen to sujh an extent that some will sug gest we should wear uniforms, i hope we can get down to the serious consideration of proposed legisla* tion « . 82 Investigations This congress has reached the half-way point and has not passed a single piece of vital legislation. It has probed and probed and probed. Some one figured there were 82 separate investigations and hearings going on by congressional committees. RFC Probe to Continue Senator Fullbright has finally de cided to continue his investigation of the RFC, big government lending agency^ after telling the senate his probe was complete. The probe un earthed no law violations. It did unearth some conflicting testimony and the fact that some government employees accepted favors after loans were made and that so-called “undue influence was used to ol> tain these loans. GOP Pushes Probe Senator Fullbright was literally goaded into continuing the investi gation by Republican senators who baited him with barbed shafts. These digs came principally from Senators Kem, of Missouri, Wherry of Nebraska, Bricker of Ohio, and Capehart of Indiana. Debate came over discussion of RFC loans of $18,500,000 to a company of which Guy Gabrielson, GOP national chairman, was president and coun sel PROVIDING APPETITE stimu lating zest in family menus is the goal of every thoughtful homemaker when the lazy days of spring arrive.

They have been in use since 1940. Now the coarser ma terial, fine gravel, is exposed, and from time to time small particles are found adhering to the wash. 1 shall appreciate your giving me any suggestion which may be translated into a method of re pairing this damage. Answer: If not too rough, you might be able to smooth the sur faces by rubbing with a coarse abrasive stone. If this fails, you might cal) in a competent con crete worker. He may be able to clean the surfaces with a muria tic acid solution, rinse with water and put in a layer of cement mor tar. If he does not think this idea practical, you could have a sheet metal (tinsmith) worker cut a sheet of stainless steel to fit the bottom of the tubs. The sheet should be taken out after each washing for thorough rinsing with clear water and the tubs should be allowed to dry out. Of course, the better plan would be to have good modern porcelain tubs put in. and get rid of the old ones. as a “vapor barrier” and protect the insulation from any penetra tion of moisture from the house air, rising through the ceiling plas ter.

After putting in your insulation, cover the material with tar paper or other strong paper to protect it from dust. (Insulating batts and blankets come with a vapor-proof covering.)
