An ample supply of tender green feed will cut the feed bill greatly, as well as result in a more healthy flock. Soybeans planted in rows or in corn make an ideal shade and source of green feed during hot dry weather. It is also important that the pullets have plenty of fresh water supplied in a cool, shady place at all times. - - At least once a day, in the late afternoon, the pullets should be fed liberally on whole yellow corn and whole oats. Also the birds need a high quality growing or developing mash. Many of the more successful poultrymen keep whole oats and whole yellow corn in hoppers before the pullets as well as a hopper of mash. Of course, liberal feeding of whole oats, corn, and green feed will retard the sexual maturity of the pullets to a certain degree, but this is to the advantage of the poultryman since the birds will hav'e more time to become better developed.

In this shot, the sign help* tell the story. Such details often "make" a picture. V" 1Y7HEN you see an opportunity for " a picture, sboot it--but don't always stop there. Think a bit, and see if there isn't a way to Improve the shot and make it more pointed. Every good picture has a point-- it tells you something when you look at it. The more definite you can make the idea or "story," the better the picture. And often little added details, things that don't occur to you at first glance, yield a much-improved shot For example, consider the boys and their wagon-works, as shown above. Chances are, Dad supplied' the tools and the idea, and shot a first picture in the backyard. Then, very likely, the "men working" sign down the street suggested a better background--one that would make the picture more effective--• so the scene was changed for a second shot. Incidentally, this shot might have been even better if it included the whole sign. That's the way a lot of good picture? are made. The first picturp doesn't have to be the final one. If an idea is good, it's worth repeating later--in a 'different location, or with different subjects. Oftentimes, in examining a print, you can sea points where the picture might bt improved--and ln a great maaj* cases, it's easy enough to get % second shot. To make yofir pictures mora pointed, here are some tips. First, show the action clearly, so anybody can tell what is going on. The camera position has a lot to do with this, and sometimes a shift of a foot or so to one side will mate. a world of difference. Holding the camera higher or lower makes a difference, too. Second, eliminate tilings that don't contribute to the picture idea. If there are objects that have no part in telling the story, move them aside, or choose a viewpoint that leaves them out of the picture. Third, keep the interest within the picture. Let the subjects look at what they're doing. Few picturea demand that the subject look at tha camera, or even appear aware of it. Try these hints, when you're shooting pictures--and when the first shot isn't perfect, get a second^ one. It's a podr idea that isn't woruit two or more pictures. John van Guilder-- Home production of dairy and poultry products, fruits, vegetables, and meat from animals fed and butchered on the farm offers a twoway advantage to families with low cash incomes, the new department of agriculture yearbook points out. Home-grown foods usually improve the diet--both in*quality and quantity-- and they release for other purposes money that would otherwise be paid out for food. In a recent survey of living costs on farms, food economists of the United States department of agriculture were able to group 84 families-- each of which had about $630 a year to spend for the family living, and each consisting of a husband and wife and one child under 16 years of age--on the basis of how much food was produced on the farm. Money expenditure8 for food dropped steadily as home production increased. Some of these families produced more than $400 worth of food on the farm and spent only about $160 for food. At the other end, part of the families raised only about $100 worth of food and bought about $200 worth. The economist* estimate that such a family would spend about $265 cash if it did not raise any food. Families producing the highest money values in fo<M were in general the best fad. • \ < Farming Advanced By New Machinery Trend In farm machinery toward durability, simplicity, speed, and convenience of operation, says W. M. Hurst of the United States bureau of agricultural engineering, "probably has affected American agriculture as much as, if not more than, development of the reaper and steel plow a century ago." The gas tractor has been on the market for nearly 40 years. But only during the past 10 or 12 years has a unit suitable for planting and cultivating row crops, for pltfwing, disking, and belt work, been avail* able. Of all general-purpose tractors manufactured in 1937 nearly 50 per cent were on rubber. Pneumatic tires not only permit higher speed in field operations but make possible road hauling with trailers. "Adapting field machinery to use with tractors," says Mr. Hurst, "constitutes the major recent development in what is generally known as farm implements. A new plow, for instance, may look about the same as its predecessor, but on examination it will be found to be made of better material, to have greater beam clearance for turning under trash, the shape of the moldboard of some is such as to permit higher speed, and attachments are available for increasing effectiveness in turning under cover crops.'* address and as he was about to resume his seat next to Representative Beverly M. Vincent (Dem) of Kentucky, the latter arose and moved away stating he did not want to sit next to a "traitor to his country." Sweeney responded with a ri^ht to the by'George Peck Thfe answer is YES. But Hitler's greatest menace to America does not lie in any military strength he might throw against us. It is not our purpose here to discuss the merits or demerits of preparedness; of oonscriptio'n; or of whether or not we should ell our warships, airplanes and ammunition to England. There are many sincere, patriotic Americans who believe we should resort to every means "short of war" to help England in her fight against the Axis Powers. There probably are just as many who hold the opinion that we erness to assist the British Empire in ts fight for existence. All real Americans, however, agree that we should be prepared to meet any military attack on this country even though they may differ widely among themselves as to the methods to be used in order to achieve this necessary preparedness. The real menace of Hitler to America LIES WITH OURSELVES, the danger that we may adopt his political as well as his military methods. Surely American industry can be speeded up to provide sufficient armaments and enough men can be recruited to successfully repel any attempt at military invasion of America. At long last, we are alive to the peril which threatens us in the way1 of military attack and are taking the necessary steps to circumvent and frustrate any who would te foolish enough to attempt rt. Hitler s menace to us is that he Is infiltrating his obnoxious ideologies into a large section of the so-called civilized word--he has succeeded even in inoculating many Americans with the virus of his . poisonous theories. Most of the men who have fostered the growth of bureaucratic control at I t>- i ~77, , , our nation's capital probably are un- j sSj J h«rd hick of conscious of the fact that such coh/l baSeb2l team Tn L* Z l trol is the first step alone the oath- , ^eam\.In °,ne ^lowway to Hitlerism. ! ?

The profligate squanderers of public funds responsible for the piling up of our huge national, state and municipal debts are giving Adolph a helping hand, for totalarianism follows economic collapse just as surely as night follows the day. Unbelievable as it may seem, there are some in this country who openly advocate that we abandon our free institutions, the right of free speech and personal liberty, who would have us adopt government by men instead of government by law, and who would have us throw overboard our American System of Free Enterprise. This, in spite of the fact that ^hey have witnessed the horrible spectacle of what has happened in every cbuntry Hitler has penetrated either bv force of arms or by his "Fifth-Column" brigades." They have seen the enslavement of formerly free men and a lowering of the standard of living. Yes, we should be on guard against Hitler, the soidier^. but .the, real thing we should have to fear is Hitler, the v indoctrinator. Examined Dr. Paul A.
