(Extension Poultryman, In times of good prices one is not likely to think in terms of losing money, certainly not so much as when prices are low. There is a great deal more at stake, however, when prices are high, or favorable to the producer. If low egg production exists then, the loss is actually It is a smile this young miss has. For with the eggs from her own chickens for consumption here, and abroad where they are sent in powdered form, the necessary energy to carry on the great fight against the enemy, is being partly supplied. greater than it would be if egg production were low during a period of poor prices. For good egg production at this season of the year, the pullet flock should have: 1. A poultry house which provides four square feet of floor space for each bird. 2. Some form of insulation in the house. 3. A good ration in small feeders, which are freshly filled every day, or at least every other day. 4. Two water containers in a room approximately 20 by 20 feet. 5. A ration featuring some form of milk, whole oats, a good grade of alfalfa, and a vitamin-oil. A supplemental feeding of 6. moist mash once a gay, if necessary. This practice is not essential for all flocks, but in the case of flocks going stale or losing weight, and for late, immature pullets. 7. Lights if necessary. Lights might be used in the same situations in which moist mash feeding, is suitable. A successful practice has been to use two lamps all night in a room 20 by 20 feet. 8. Fresh litter to keep up the spirits of the flock and for the maintenance of health.. 9. Regular attention; irregularity plays havoc with egg production. 10. The benefit of some good common sense.

Peat miners, you might call them, those farmers who are lucky enough to find a bed of peat located on their land. ' Domestic peat is needed now to supplement the reduced supply being imported from Europe. Most of the beds in this country are located in northern states: Maine, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio and northern Washington. Moss, sedge and reed peat are considered safe as a fertilizer for gardens and golf course greens. Other kinds which have an acid reaction and are not chemically adapted to combination with soil are found useful as insulating material, as stable litter, and as an absorbent layer for poultry houses in winter. Peat dust is found to be an effective deodorizer. Peat can be used as a substitute for medicated cotton in the making of surgical dressings. It has been used in the making of Even as parliament by a 475 to majority voted its confidence in Prime Minister Winston Churchill after a prolonged debate over the Libyan defeat, reports from Egypt revealed that British imperials, heavily reinforced from the Middle East, had struck fiercely at the flank and rear of Marshal Rommels Axis army, to counter its assault on the main British positions. At the same time it was disclosed that United States army air force and Royal air force planes had unleashed a terrific air offensive throughout ' the eastern Mediterranean, area. In one assault on Marshal Rommels supply port of Bengasi, hundreds of bombers rained destruction down on munition dumps and equipment concentrations. Reinforcements of both men and material had strengthened the British Egyptian position in the battles on which rested the fate of Allied power in the Mediterranean and Middle East.

Salamaua, on the Huon gulf, lies 170 miles north across New Guinea from Port Moresby, last Allied outpost north of Australia. It was captured by the Japs early in March and ever since the enemy has been attempting to use it as a base for widening their occupation of New Guinea. It has served as one of the principal air bases for attacks against Port Moresby.
