Taylor, associate extension poultryman at the New Jersey college of agriculture, Rutgers university. With the prevailing narrow margin of profits in the poultry business, no poultryman can afford to tolerate broodiness in his laying flock, he reminds poultry owners. It should be remembered that for every day a broody bird stays on the nest, it takes three days to break up her broodiness, Taylor points out. Good management requires the removal of all birds showing any tendency to broodiness to special All laypens or coops," he says. the last be should inspected ing pens thing in the evening for broody birds. They can be readily identified by their presence on the nests. Brood coops in individual pens provide a satisfactory way of confining them, ,or if the number is large the use of a summer shelter for confining the broody birds is very satisfactory. It is not advisable to restrict any of the feed in an effort to break ap broodiness. Confining the birds in small coops is all that is necessary. The important point is to remove them from the nests at the first indication of broodiness.. Sudan Safe Pasture If Caution Is Used . ing whether or not it is safe to pasture cattle on Sudan grass, W. L. Boyd, chief of the veterinary division at University farm, St. Paul, advises that there is little or no danger from prussic acid (cyanide) poisoning as a result of feeding this crop. Exhaustive tests by members of the veterinary staff have failed to develop a single case of poisoning where Sudan alone was fed to stock. With sorghum or cane, however, the situation is different. Under some conditions sorghum is a very dangerous feed and even if there is only a little of it mixed with the Sudan pasture trouble may result. , i farmers who are wonder-- Nice Attire Now, miss, what gear were you in at the time of the accident ?

Deficiencies are likely to develop, especially when most of the nitrogen is tied up in a cover crop. Consequently, early fertilizer applications are often needed to carry the trees through in good condition. The foliage of trees suffering from lack of nitrogen is pale yellow rather than bright green in color. Usually the individual leaves are also smaller and the tree has a more open appearance, the foliage being relatively sparse in comparison with the dense growth of normal trees. The shadows cast by trees well supplied with nitrogen are noticeably darker than those of trees whose nitrogen supplies are low. Supplies of available nitrogen in the soil vary greatly throughout the year. They tend to be high in late summer and low in early spring. This brings the low point in supply just when the trees need the largest quantities in order to make spring growth. A late growing cover crop will increase the natural shortage of nitrogen because it will tie up large quantities used in its growth. This may not become available to the trees for a considerable time after the green manure has been turned under. When the cover crop is allowed to become mature additional nitrogen will be tied up while soil organisms are decomposing the woody material. These organisms actually take up more nitrogen from the soil. This competition for nitrogen from late growing cover crops is especially important in unirrigated orchards where summer rainfall is light or does not occur at all. Nitrogen fertilizers applied early enough so that the nitrates are available in sufficient quantities during the period of rapid spring growth have been found effective and profitable in many areas. Peaches are especially responsive to fluctuations in the nitrogen supply in the soil. Up to Specifications Wimpus You sure made a poor job of painting this door.

' THE GERMAN: Plan BALKAN: Catastrophe GREECE: On Her Heels Before the Nazis Balkan campaign had been under way two weeks it was apparent that another major catastrophe for Hitlers enemies was in the making, but how extensive or how catastrophic none was prepared to say. After eleven days of fighting, Berlin reported that Jugoslavias army of some 1,200,000 men had capitulated and laid down their fighting equipment which had proved relatively ineffective against the highly mechanized Nazi legions. London announced bad news too with the report that it had been subjected to the worst air blitz of all time. German sources say this terrific raid came as a reprisal for British raids on cultural and nonmilitary objectives in Berlin. In the very beginning of the n Balkan campaign, the forces took the offensive in Northern Africa, and the two battles proceeded almost in unison, the British being driven practically out of Libya The Greek armies, which had checkmated the unaided Italian forces presented against them in the Albanian campaign, found themselves facing a horse of another color when the Nazi hordes moved in from Bulgaria and south from Jugoslavia. Greek sources in the United States, many of them intensely patriotic and hoping against hope for a Greek victory, had been saying during the Albanian battle that if the Nazis ever got in, Greece could not hope to hold out a month. How true these predictions were in their essence began to be seen as the Nazi campaign against northern Greece proceeded. Salonika fell, trapping much of the Greek army in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. Then the Germans broke through into the Struma river valley, through the Monastir gap and made contact with the Italians in northern Alba- Nazi-Italia- the time that the British sources were ready to admit that Jugoslavia had been defeated. Reaction of the British people was bitter, not that they were unwilling to receive news of a defeat that had been more or less expected, but because the ministry of information and the intelligence department were accused of having fallen down on the job. This also was the reaction in Washington, where it was freely said by those in the military kpow that the British permitted Roosevelt to promise aid to Jugoslavia and Greece when it should have been known that aid to the former was to be only a gesture, and that the Serbs and Slovenes could not hope to stand up to the attack more than a week or two. Washington sources of high military information frankly said that the British intelligence had fallen down, as it had in the Battle of France, and that the best information in our national capital had been to the effect that the infiltration of Nazi mechanized forces into North Africa had been of the smallest. These sources said they had been told that this shipping of tanks and men to North Africa had had only one purpose that of putting pressure on the French colonies, and forcing them to stand firm with the Vichy government. Whether this was deliberate or an attempt to delude the American and British people was not known, but certainly it was bad information, whether deliberate or by self-delusio- n, not. For in about two weeks the British had lost everything they had gained in Libya, and found themselves seriously on the defensive as far as the vital Mediterranean port of Alexandria and the equally vital Suez canal were concerned. Highlights ... in the news BELFAST: Observers were won- dering what stand, if any, Eire would take in the face ot the first serious bombing of northern Ireland. This city and surrounding towns were hard hit by a blitzkrieg from the air and there were many casualties. Long range views of the eventual German plan in the Balkans as given to the house of commons by Churchill, and as figured out by observers in neutral points like Ankara and Berne centered on one general line, with certain individual ramifications. tOnce Greece had been defeated, said these sources, and the kingdom subjugated much after the pattern of Norway, France and the Low Countries, then the Nazi forces, flushed with victory, would turn their full attention to the Battle of the Mediterranean. In this observers 'saw the North African campaign and the Balkan campaign as a huge pincers movement, aimed at the Suez canal and points between. The recent overturn in the government of Iraq, frankly said to have been engineered in Berlin, provided of soil turned back of a back-lo- g and Syria. Turkey The Nazis would then, it was said, turn their attention to Turkey and Syria, aiming at the oil in Iran and of southIraq, and the wheat-field- s ern Russia. These would be mere permitting a fuller supply source for the eventual campaign against Suez. In the meantime it was. the plan, these observers said, for the drive against Egypt to continue, and to meet the southward-pushin- g nia. It was not long before the plan of Graeco-Britis- forces to defend in an inverted from Adriatic to Aegean seas had to be revised, and the whole hinge of the V, in the Lake Ochrida-Phlorin- a sector had to be abandoned, and the armies retreat until the line was more nearly straight. Along this line a frightfully intense battle started, and few were sanguine enough to believe that the line would hold and further retreat and withdrawal not be necessary, particularly as the line, as first drawn, lay over heavy mountain ranges with peaks up to 6,000 feet. And the Nazis had broken through these, and the fighting in its secondary phase was on terrain more to the liking of the mechanized units. h the a line running pe Italo-Germa- Nazis STIMSON: And Knox steel-produc- al wmzvM fnpa TO UFT WATER.

Stimson, warning of the gravity of the situation, told congress that men now in uniform would have to be trained not only for service in the United States, but also in all parts of Central and South America, if need be, and also in other parts of the world. There were many who believed that the secretary was not talking about the Philippines and Greenland, but was pointing to the eventual likelihood of another A. E. F. On the same day Knox, addressing another committee, said that the day was past when we could consider ourselves as unmenaced, and declared that America was being encircled by unfriendly countries. The American people, meanwhile, had to guess at the amount of lease-len- d aid that was actually getting over the ocean. No facts or figures were being given out, and yet on the surface, judging by reports from various ports along the Atlantic seamerchandise board, British-boun- d was showing a tendency to pile up, and the action regarding Danish and other seized vessels was still being talked about in Washington. LABOR: And Defense The strike situation showed some further amelioration, with the announcement by Bethlehem Steel that about 90,000 of its workers would get a increase in wages. This, for the moment, relieved the public of the anxiety lest a strike hit this holder of more defense contracts than any other one concern in the country, and one of the nations largest builders of merchant ships. The coal strike, however, continued to cause trouble, with four more killed near Harlan, Ky., at a mine which was continuing to operate despite the general shut down. Negotiations for the ending of this strike were in their final phase, with every evidence that the agreement would go through and that soft coal strikes would be over for another two years, if not longer. Those watching the labor situation felt that the soft-coagreement would pave the way for better general industrial conditions and that promised strike threats against U. S. Steel and General Motors might not materialize. The settling of the Ford strike was held up as a shining example of handling what looked like a certain impasse. Yet there were still moves afoot in congress which would not exactly outlaw strikes, but which would provide for a cooling off period before the actual calling of a walkout, and also calling for official recognition of the Dykstra-heade- d national mediation board. n PETFRMMfP 10 Unfortunate One There is no one more unfortunate than the man who has never been unfortunate, for it has never been in his power to try himself.
