Supplied by the Catted States Department of Agriculture.--WNU Service. Growing chickens need some form of vitamin A to make satisfactory growth. Birds allowed to range about the fairm during the growing season usually pick up sufficient quantities of green feed, but birds confined or unable to get green feed should have some feed that is rich in vitamin A, say poultry specialists of the United States bureau of animal industry. ^ Alfalfa-leaf meal is oneof the most economical source^ of vitamin A, when all feeds must be purchased, and may serve as the sole source of this vitamin for growing chicks. Other common sources of vitamin A, in addition to green feeds, are yellow corn and milk. The percentage of alfalfa-leaf meal required in a diet, which cont 'iW>K t , V .. . .

If exceptions are noted it is usually based on the desire to get away from turbulent scenes for a Christmas vacation. Entangled in a network of partisan politics, our lawmakers do not bow to the seasonal ine ranerent jealousies in our bicameral legislative system become more pronounced as conferences are called to iron out differences in measures passed by. the Senate and House. Each side is openly accused of maintaining a cantankerous attitude in a struggle for credit-grabbing.

This potency is influenced by factors such as the method of preparation, variety, soil, weather, and cutting. Of these, the first is by far the most important. The best criteria of an alfalfaleaf meal's vitamin A potency are:* Age, color, and "brightness." Unfortunately, it is seldom possible for the purchaser to ascertain the age of the meal he buys. Although the color of an alfalfa-leaf meal is a fairly good index of the meal's vitamin A content, the potency decrease more rapidly than the greenness of the meaF changes. Although as little alfalfa-leaf pneal as 1.5 per cent of the total ration may supply an adequate quantity of vitamin A to maintain chicks in good health and enable them to grow, it is unwise to depend on less than 5 per cent of an alfalfaleaf meal of unknown potency.

Anderson, extension forester, University farm, St. Paul. Selective cutting is one of the basic reasons for greater logging returns, besides being one of the methods by which future timber returns with even greater dividends are built up, states Anderson. To get the greatest value and returns, the farmer should cut the more ma* ture trees, leaving the smaller trees to grow until they mature and multiply their value. The larger, commercially mature trees over 16 inches in diameter, breast high, will produce more lumber of higher quality and financial returns as well as economy in logging. Harvesting the larger trees will double, and even quadruple returns per thousand feet as compared to the logging and cutting of the smaller sizes. Selective logging and cutting provides for greater value, increases volume and reduces losses and handling costs. Trees will continue to have an important role in the wise management of idle ,land, Anderson observes, and offer a source of future and annual income if properly handled. Trees and forests are a physical protection to certain lands, in addition to being capable of yielding economic returns. The farm owner is in a better position than the large timber company because he can harvest his crop when it will bring the highest market returns, and by watching the timber market he can adjust his Cutting operations in proportion. v ciliatory tactics popularly known as "horse-trading."

Mr. Roosevelt has placed the kid-plove j and spat boys, as our diplomats are! known to the politicians, on thin ice by a deft stroke of sending a protest direct to the Emperor of Japan. The move put the Nippon war lords in a minor role, which if you, know Par East politics, is bad medicine for these militarists who have ignored the civil-1 ian population in the land of the ris-l ing sun. | Notes garnered fr»m meetings about! town in which the politicfej cults vent- ( ilate their views of the contemporary) scene deal with the possibilites of!

P. out of the bulrushes; j the bog which engulfed the coalition movement between Republican and Democratic Senators through premature publicity; the complete abandonment of extending relief from taxes at this session which forecasts delay at the regular term of Congress; that the Administration's housing bill is heading for trouble as it is considered a patch-work proposition by organized labor and industry; whether the leftwingers can persuade the President to push the Seven Little TV A bills and give the public utilities a death-blow when they stand ready to go forward with an enormous program designed to employ hundreds of thousands; whether Secretary Wallace will enlist White House support in an attempt to rewrite a farm bill which the Senate has mangled with amendments and what will follow the open criticism of WPA chiefs of policies permitting part-time farming by industrial workers to supplement their income. Militant groups have been working for many years in an effort to purify the civil service system. However, it has been an up-hill fight against strongly entrenched political factors. One of the aftermaths of the bitter factional fight over the wage and hour bill had to do with switching the votes under patronage deals. Some of the charges muttered in the privacy of Congressional cloakrooms were directed at alphabetical agencies which have put off the civil service requirements wherever possible. It is a notorious fact that proteges of legislators are given temporary employment in government departments with the promise that they will obtain a permanent status under the blanketing arrangement or a waiving of civil service ^examinations under a ' Presidential order. It is currently reported that only a small percentage of those holding temporary positions could pass the rigid examinations of the Civil Service Commission. As a consequence their Congressional legislators are kept on tether hooks in their attempts to keep the favorites on the Federal payroll. It is claimed that Congressional investigations of favoritism are stalled because the Federal agencies have generously handed out jobs in the districts represented by the more powerful members of the Senate and House committees, which would normally probe abuses of the civil service law. If you live in a village and often wonder how the world is treating you take time out to compare your family income with official figures. This week tabulations made by the Bureau of Home Economics revealed many interesting facts about our American home life as represented in the average village. Here are a few highlights: In 140 villages selected as representative of American village life, half of 22,644 native white families interviewed by thee ross-section method in the year 1935-36 were living on incomes of less than $1100 annually; in size, the village families ranged from a low average of 3.5 persons per family in the California villages to a high average of 4.1 persons per family in the Kansas and North Dakota villages; in each group of villages, the relief families averaged larger than the families who had not; been on relief at any time during the fear studied; among the self-supportng families, the wage-earning group reached its highest percentage, but in the 13 Pennsylvania and Ohio villages, where 60 percent of the families had wage earners as the principal income producers; the lowest percentage of wage earners' families, 27 per cent, was found in the white family study of North Carolina and Mississippi villages; the highest perof business and professional cent of the families owned their homes Laf| Minute Suggestions Kayser Hose ;; Admiration Sheert, Dance Sets Slips Nightgowns Pajamas .
