PARRISH (Poultryman, North Carolina State College.) When the cold winds of winter blow, thats the time to think of the comfort of the farm poultry flock. A comfortable house, free from drafts, will help to keep the birds free from common winter ailments and aid them in producing a maximum number of eggs. Then, too, each bird should have at least 3V2 to 4 square feet of floor space. If the flock is crowded, additional space should be provided or the number culled down to a point where the birds may be comfortable in present quarters. Water that has been heated to knock the chill off, or fresh from the well early each morning, will do much to prevent a cold snap from causing a sharp drop in egg production. For less trouble, autowarmmatic electric or ers should be installed. The feeding of one pound of alfalfa leaf meal per 100 birds will be a satisfactory substitute for green feed if the dry fall prevented the sowing of a grazing crop. If the flock is properly housed and cared for and not more than 30 to 40 eggs per 100 hens are received daily,' then there may be something wrong with the health or breeding of the -- oil-heat- There was no sightseeing for these Axis evacuees from South America as they' went through the Panama Canal Zone to the United States. Part of the group of 111 persons, including seven German and seven Italian diplomats, are pictured debarking from the special train which carried them across the isthmus. Uncle Sam took no chances of any Axis sightseeing, which would have been possible had the passage been made by boat. MACASSAR: First Victory birds. Although it is too late to change the laying flock this year, the poultryman should give careful thought to the kind of breeding males he uses next year, or the sources from which he purchases his baby chicks, it is advised. 1 I AGRICULTURE IN INDUSTRY I By Florence C. Weed (This is one ol a series of articles showing how i arm products are finding an important market in industry.) Walnuts and Furniture Those stately ancestral walnut trees that grow about a home place are seldom thought of as farm income. Yet individual walnut trees will sometimes bring from $50 to $100 each, occasionally more. The price is as high as $500 per thousand feet for the best wood, the highest price of any wood grown on the g In the farm. states, farmers have sold as much as $2,500,000 in walnut logs annually. Furniture manufacturers buy the greatest part of the wood but the more inferior grades bring good prices for gun stocks, automobile steering wheels, airplane propellers and musical instruments. In its unpainted state, the wood is one ol: the most beautiful and has lasting beauty when finished. It is very durable and does not check or warp. Much of the fine old heirloom furniture is made of solid walnut. Modern pieces are now often made oJ! veneer which is young walnut steamed to produce the effect walnut-producin- sap-wo- of better class wood. Americans had hailed the Battle Macassar straits as the first definite American victory over the Japanese, worked out in conjunction with the indomitable Dutch. The action amounted to the virtual trapping of a large Jap convoy in the straits, probably heading for a frontal assault on Java or Sumatra, and its virtual decimation with heavy losses in men and ships for the Nippon forces.' The fight lasted several days, and a number of Japanese warships were engaged by light American naval vessels including destroyers and submarines, and by considerable forces of airplanes. " One of the earliest ships sent to the bottom in the engagement was a Jap aircraft carrier, and if she was not sunk she was immobilized by a direct torpedo hit, and that meant she was useless as a carrier. This meant instant air supremacy for the American-Dutc- h forces, and they went to work without mercy. One vessel after another was destroyed and as others were damaged and the Japs attempted to keep their convoy intact by slowing their pace to that of the slowest vessel, they were hopelessly trapped. It apparently took more than six days for the Japs to negotiate the less than journey through the straits, and the toll was upward of 31 vessels. The engagement showed several things that strong air reinforcements had arrived from the United States into the area; that they were being deployed effectively to prevent a further southward Japanese invasion of the East Indies; that American naval units, once at grips with the Japs, could give a good account of themselves ; that the early toll of two ships a day could easily be enlarged to a deadly amount of shipping, an amount which the Japanese could not lose and continue their pace in the South Pacific. of od 500-mi- le The annual nut crop brings a steady income to growers year after year.

But it had not been believed that MacArthurs army had any airplanes left, therefore his report that Curtis 0 fighters had downed a number of Jap bombers led many to think that they might have been flown in there from a distant base. How many of the Japanese estimated Luzon army of 300,000 was able to get at MacArthurs men in their tiny front on Bataan peninsula was a problem, as many of them naturally would have to be holding the rear and supply lines against constant harassment of guerrilla bands of Filipinos.

REINFORCEMENTS: For 10 Areas The arrival of a considerable force of American troops in northern Ireland had been an exciting bit of news which the press leaped on with avidity, and which brought from the White House the statement that this was but one of six, eight or ten areas to which reinforcements had been sent. Pressing the President for more information, newsmen succeeded in getting the revelation that help is being rushed with all possible speed into the Pacific war theater. Nothing was said officially about the identity of the Northern Ireland troops, but the fact that a major general was named commander and that his staff included brigadiers led many to believe it was at least a division. News dispatches from Ireland, passed by censorship, used the words from their training ground in Louisiana and the fact that they come had from midwestern homes, but this was as close to identification as the war department would permit. President DeValera criticized the sending, said his government should have been consulted, but though President Roosevelt recalled that DeValera was a warm personal friend, he expressed no sympathy with his viewpoint. The soldiers were there, reportedly eager for a crack at the Nazis, and getting accustomed to British fare, living conditions and surroundings. The President was positive in stating that aid of the strongest sort was being poured into the Pacific theater of the war, and war department estimates of the total manpower of the Japanese in that area was Additional rationing was deemed a certainty, with the placing of k basis. sugar on a In fact, it was known that those who controlled the priorities were frowning even on some of the civilian defense activities.
