A person who does a lot of talking is bound to be right-some- time. ("Extension Poultrymsn, Massachusetts State College. Amherst.) Cafeterias for chickens may sound a little queer to the average poultry-mabut it is one of the newest feeding methods now in vogue. By the new system, Biddie has her choice of feeds and believe it or not, she can make a much more intelligent choice of what she needs than can some poultrymen. In three separate feeders there are whole oats, whole or cracked corn, and laying mash. Biddies appetite may vary from time to time, but during the year her diet will consist of 41 per cent corn, 30 per cent oats, and 29 per cent laying mash. The ration has been balanced at 12.9 per cent protein over a years period, although individual birds vary from 11 to 15 per cent. It is very important that every bird in the poultry flock has a chance to eat grain or mash at any time, and hoppers must be large enough to take care of all of the flock. Hopper requirements are 20 linear feet, feeding from both sides, for every 100 birds, or about five inches of feeding space per bird. Feed consumption is increased by adding fresh mash frequently, running the hand or fingers through the mash often, and placing the hoppers d in positions. Hens like to see what theyre eating as well as humans. Although whole wheat is not used extensively in this cafeteria feeding system, it is a good practice to throw some into the litter as a scratch feed. This helps to keep the litter in a dry fluffy condition. Because of the small quantity of mash used in this system of feeding, the vitamin D carrier must be increased in the mash. There has been no tendency for a flock well bred for production to become too fat on this system of feeding. The large proportion of grain that is used makes this system economical and also cuts down labor requirements. Cannibalism has not been too excessive since it is held in check by the large quantities of oats that are fed and the scattering of wheat in the litter. Some people wake up and find themselves famous; but most of us just wake up and find ourselves late. n, well-lighte- Good Fence Should Last .Seven to Twelve Years Good wire, properly strung ( be- tween strong, posts, should make a farm fence last from 7 to 12 years, says H. M. Ellis, extension agricultural engineer of N. C. State college. There should be a good coating of galvanizing or zinc on the wire to protect it against the elements, he says. Some copper in the wire will add still more years of service to the The copper fence, Ellis stated. content should not run less than 0.2 of 1 per cent, which is usually spoken of as 20 point copper. The quality of the wire is the main consideration in building fences ; it isnt good economy to buy cheap'wire. Ellis also says that for a good, fence the quality of the posts and the workmanship in erecting the fence must be of the best. The posts must be big enough, properly spaced, well planted, and well braced. If durable wood is not available, soft timber may be treated with creosote or otherwise to make the posts last as long as the wire. It is wise, the specialist declared, to build your fence on paper before you start cutting posts and buying wire. Farmers spend much money every year maintaining fences that are not essential. well-brac- long-lasti- de-ma- nd see why people call money Dough sticks to your "dough. fingers!

House Launches Rearmament Inquiry As Labor Disputes Continue CHICKS SELECT FEEDING NEEDS Early Start By Edward C. Wayne WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS ed ng There are plenty of hitch-hikeon the road .to success. rs When the CIO called its strike at Americas largest industrial plant the Ford Motor companys River Rouge plant the plant was closed and 85,000 workers were on the idle list. Above photo shows mounted police trying to hold off pickets during one of the violent strike battles. JUGOSLAVIA: Ready for War STRIKES: Dominate News While the question of whether or not the United States was in the war or not continued to be debated by editorial writers, there was no question but that the nation was in a labor war, daily growing more and more serious, with outbreaks of violence hitting the front pages with a bang. Congressional action in. the situation came when the house voted 324 to 1 for an investigation of the program with special emphasis on strikes which hamper the defense program. The C. I. O. held the strike spotlight, the three major disturbances consisting of various types of trouble involving unions of that organization. These included the Ford strike and strike, the strike. the soft-coAfter sailing along for 11 weeks with little happening except unsuccessful negotiations, the dispute broke into serious violence. This followed closely on two developments, statements by Knox and Knudsen urging that the plant be reopened, and the action by the company in putting 500 rehabilitation men to work, and then throwAllis-Chalme- rs al Allis-Chalme- rs ing open the doors to those employees who wanted to come back. About 1,250 out of 7,800 on one shift reported, and then the government of Wisconsin stepped in to attempt to give returning workers pro- tection through embattled picket lines. The result? The plant had to close down again, Governor Heils car was stoned, 48 persons were inbattle, and jured in a the Governor informed President Roosevelt that the trouble was beyond all state, county and city police to keep order. police-strike- rs Biggest Plant Hardly had this cry reached the President from Milwaukee when C. I. O. workers struck at the largest single industrial plant in the world, Henry Fords River Rouge factory, employing 86,000 persons. Almost immediately there were reports of violence at this factory, owned and operated by the only big industrialist who never has had a union con- tract. The basis of the battle in the Ford plant between strikers and management was a .matter of 10 cents an hour more or less to bring the Ford wages, until recently higher than in competing auto factories, up to the level. General Motors-ChryslAs the Ford strike brewed and broke, 400,000 workers in the soft-coindustry, John L. Lewis personal C. I. O. union, stopped work pending negotiation of a new wage contract to take the place of one which had expired. This newest strike brought from President Roosevelt the hope that this walkout would not be of long enough duration to endanger the national defense. But the government, which had put Dr. Dykstra in charge of a labor mediation board, and which had and othdumped the er strikes in the lap of this new organization, seemed to the public to be making little progress in getting the full manpower tof the U. S. to work, on national defense. It was being plainly said in Washington that unless there was some immediate amelioration of the labor problem, some form of national defense labor law would find favor with the President. er al Grinding Roughage Not Very Advisable Farmers are fooling themselves and not their cattle when they grind up corn fodder and stemmy hay so fine the animals are unable to separate the good material from the bad, according to R. R. Snapp, professor of beef cattle husbandly at the University of Illinois college of agriculture. It is true that a given amount of ground fodder will go somewhat further than it would if it were fed whole. However, the unpalatable roughage tend to dilute y good feed, making for less and digestibility for the ration as a whole, Snapp pata-bilit- Allis-Chalme- rs . It was apparent that Jugoslavia was on the threshold of war, or if the nation was bluffing, it was willing to carry the bluff to the verge of actual hostilities. Nazi reconnaissance planes flew over a key city of southern Serbia and there was a brief air raid alarm. This was considered a good intimation that the Nazis meant business and that the 75,000 soldiers amassed on the eastern frontier would be ' increased and would be the nucleus of an attacking force. It was interesting that most of the press attacks on the Jugoslavian situation in "Berlin were directed at British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, whose series of visits to the southern Balkans and Turkey and Greece were followed by Jugoslavias firm decision to stand by Britain and Greece, even at the cost of bloodless revolution. The Berlin papers referred to Eden in the most caustic terms, and it was apparent that even as Berlin blamed Eden for the Jugoslavian situation, so Eden would be getting credit for it in Britain. The crucial point in the Jugoslavian situation, was whether the Serbs and Croats would get together and achieve a united front. Macek, the leader of the Croats, was still in the new cabinet as vice premier, but there was some doubt as to whether he would stay. He was one of the signers of the Axis pact in Vienna, and one of the few to remain in the government after the overthrow. For some reason that was not immediately clear, Simovic, the head of the government, appeared to be anxious to keep Macek, but the latter was apparently anxious to get out and put some other Croatian in his place. Political observers said that Macek, while permitting his followers to support Simovic, was finding it personally embarrassing to serve in Simovics cabinet. The Germans in their attacks on Jugoslavia in the press, were makfor immediate miliing a build-u-p tary action on the ground that all sorts of atrocities had taken place in Jugoslavia. .

ITALIANS: Still Losing On the African front, British successes continued, Cairo reporting that British Imperial forces have cornered nearly 100,000 Fascist troops in East Africa. The major action was on two fronts, the Eritrean front, where Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, fell to British soldiers. The survivors of this battle were estimated at 40,000 who had .been in the battle of Cher-eand who had escaped from there to fight again at Asmara. They were now said to be trapped with their backs to the sea, and the British navy blocking retreat. In Ethiopia, the British forces were striking inland toward Addis Ababa, capital of the country, on the heels of the retreating army of the duke of Aosta. The dukes original forces at Addis Ababa were estimated at 40,000 men. This army was being added to by small garrisons who were withdrawing toward the capital and other parts of Ethiopia and it was expected that when the battle of Ethiopia finally was staged the total of Fascist troops n, would be around 60,000. The. fall of Asmara was accomplished with little fighting, the British army being met by a delegation which was carrying a white flag. Even while the British were claiming to have 100,000 Fascists trapped in Africa, the Italian high command, now and then, was stating that Italian and German troops were consuccessful engagements. ducting One of these announcements was made at the same time that the British announced the fall of Asmara. The chief interest in these claims was the inclusion of German troops, showing that the Nazis had some forces in Africa. That these reports had good foundation in fact came later when the British admitted that their troops had withdrawn from Bengasi, a Libyan stronghold they had formerly captured in their sustained military drive. FRANCE: And Refugees' Somerset Maugham, in a series of uncensored articles describing the fall of France, laid considerable stress on the mistreatment of refue as at gees from least a partial cause of the French collapse. Now France found itself facing bitterness and unrest growing among about 30,000 foreigners in refugee camps in the unoccupied portion of the country. The daily bill for this camp was a million francs, and yet this small sum was cutting such a hole in the national pocketbook, that the administration was figuring ways to reduce Pattern 2790.

S. ports and the jailing of 875 seamen of German and Italian nationality. Comments from the Axis ranged all the way from Virginio Gaydas direct threat that another such act would meet with reaction without a declaration of war, to others from Berlin and Tokyo on somewhat a milder basis. The general Axis reaction was that the seizing of the ships was an unjustifiable breach of international law, but Cordell Hull quoted book, chapter and verse to show that the seizure was entirely justified under a precedent established by Italy, no less, in 1897. In that instance Italy seized neutral and belligerent ships and later either returned them or reimbursed the nations. The American plan was to put the Italian and German ships into the U. S. hemispherical service, and to turn the Danish ships over to Britain. The use of Italian and German vessels to replace American bottoms would release them for Britain also, it was pointed out.

In addition, there were some 60,000 more, in labor camps and camps built for foreign soldiers. These included Jews, anti-NaGermans and Spanish Republicans. For them, 19 relief organizations, most of them American, were working to do what they could to make life more livable.
