By J. C. Taylor, Extension Poultryman, New College of Jersey Agriculture. WNU Service. Poultry manure is a profitable source of revenue that can be made to increase the income of every poultryman. As an aid to the proper handling of manure, one poultry- man has a large shed with a concrete floor. When the laying houses and brooder houses on the plant are cleaned, the floor manure or litter is placed in one corner of the shed and used for mixing with the moist manure from the dropping boards which are cleaned every day. The floor manure is spread out in a flat pile about six inches deep and the fresh manure from the dropping boards is spread upon it. The pile is then shoveled over ant the dropping board manure of the next day is spread over the heap The presence of the floor manure or litter and the frequent shoveling rapidly dries out the dropping boarc manure, A weeks accumulation o: dropping board manure mixed with the floor manure is set aside anc a new pile started. Following this method of handling and processing poultry manure, the poultryman has little difficulty in disposing of the material locally to vegetable growers. During the Iasi; few years one poultryman has been pulverizing some of this mixed ma nure and selling it to home owners for their gardens and lawns. The practice has been followed by others with equally good results. "Quotations" - There ii no art to living every age has its moment Maxine EUiot .

Theodore Roosevelt used a map similar to the one above to convince members of congress of the United States need for the Hawaiian islands as a naval base. Emphasising the situation of Admiral Dewey at that time, he declared that the nation that controlled the islands would have the naval supremacy of the Pacific. By WRIGHT A. PATTERSON INTERNATIONAL agreement 'Japan is prohibited from fortifying any of the islands mandated to her by the League of Nations though she is rapidly absorbing much of northern China on the Asiatic mainland. The United States has established a naval base in the Hawaiian islands and made it practically impregnable. The United States is now planning another fortified naval base in the Aleu . tian group in the north Pacific. States first obtained the concession of Pearl Harbor as a coaling station. The harbor, just outside the city of Honolulu on the island ol Oahu, was ideally' situated for that purpose. It was completely landlocked, and its narrow entrance was guarded by sharp coral reefs.
