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

tryman. The elongated box

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.

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.

Importance of Proteins in Daily Diet
By Dr. James W. 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.
Excessive' sweating can be con
trolled.

Don’t waste your heart reserve
power.

Tooth decay was decreased during
World War II.

The danger to a damaged heart
may be increased by fear.
There are more elderly people
in the world today than any other
age group.
The comman cold affects more in
dividuals than any other one ail
ment, not excepting rheumatism.

ways be removed indoors to pra>
vent excessive perspiration.

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.

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

BADLY WORN LAUNDRY TUBS
Question; The smooth finish-
assumed to be cement—has worn
off the bottoms and a short dis
tance up tbe walls of our laundry
tubs (twin). 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

proof papers are vapor-proof.
Your dealer in insulating ma-.
terials will have it in stock. 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.) Or you can lay flooring
