JGiINGERFARM GamnAd DN Cianke The last tew days our tarm has looked like a real farm---or rath- .er the way we used to think a real farm should Jools twenty or thirty years ago. It was six red ens that made the difference . six quite ordinary New Hamp- shire hens. These -biddies were all that remained of a pen of fat henis we were selling for boiling fowl. We kept a few back for ourselves but somehow we didn't get them killed. Early last week, when the sun was warm--and bright, I took pity on our six hens and let them out of the pen. To "be perfectly honest 1 don't know whether I let the hens loose for their sakes or my own. But I-do know: I felt a thrill of satisfaction as I watched the hens scuttling nround Leidn singing Came delighted were they to be free. With all out- doors to scratch around in. Mit- chie-White thought it was lots of fun too and started chasing the hens. Honey wasn't quite sure whether that was allowed or not waiting instructions from me. Of course, having once tasted the joys of freedom, the hens were crowd- ing around the door next morn- ing waiting to come out, So-- out they came. Later that morn- ing I heard a bit of commotion and saw the hens running around with outspread wings, but, since Mitchie-White was quietly sleep- _ing 1 came to the conclusion. the hens were just enjoying them- selves, We had reason to think differently that night as-one hen was missing. Tonight, two, more were gone, Partner is quite sure we have a' fox to thank for our loss. 'There is a bush just two fields away so a. fox 'could quite easily follow the thicket fence -and slink over to the pen without our seeing him. Now my country idyll 'has lost much of its charm.' Apparently the old picturesque way, with . hens contentedly picking here and there, as. nature intended they should, is not to be. To survive the hens must be confined, since, life with freedom so often "bri ings' sudden death, But I wonder what constitutes a hen's philosophy of life. Would it-be for a short life and a.merry one, or for a carg- fully guarded well-fed existence? Whatever choice our hens might make we certainly don't intend® to provide food for probably a vixen with pups to feed. If three full-grown hens could be carried'off so easily I hate_to think what would happen to a' pen of half-grown chickens. The weather, thank goodness, "has quietened down considerably.

We didn't need a plane in Kansas one day last summer," he .adds. "Wind blew so hard it got a hen turned clear around the wrong way. Before it coul get straightened out and heade into the wind again, it laid the - same egg six times!" . Sometimes it ° be gan Women have always played a decisive part in the chemical in- dustry although they may not realize it, according to leaders - in the industry. Women's demand for, white cotton and linen -fab- rics brought about the -birth of | the modern chemical industry early in the last century. That dates from the first manufacture of bleaching powder in Glasgow * |- and the first preduction of® oda 'tin Liverpool in 1823. Before 'these chemicals were produced, fabrics - had _to be bleached by scouring -with ashes "and exposure to sunlight for weeks at a time. Increased out- put of textiles made it imposs- ible to spread them all out in the fields for such time-consum- ing treatment but the social prestige of white garments and linens remained strong. Chemists * believe that if the upkeep of cottons and linens had been left to men, dark-colored sheets and shirts would have been the fashion. Therefore, they. point out, feminine prefer- ence brought about the manufac- ture of bleaching chemicals which comprised the nucleus of the heavy chemical economy of England for many years. Of course, dominate the 'those days. 'of vegetable and mineral com- textile field in pounds were used for dyeing 'but many were too expensive for general use. Chemists say the discovery of coal-tar dyestuffs in 1869 provided relief for the pent- up desire for more colorful tex- tiles, especially among .the wo- men, The organic chemicals- industry of today has been biult around the . dyestuffs industry. expansion into medi- cinal and plastic chemicals. Here again, the chemists point out, the growth and expansion was not . due solely to the ingenuity of chemists in making new com- pounds but to the desire . and the demand on the part of wo- . men for new variety in color. In the same way, they declare, the pressure of consumer .de- mand for new fabrics brought chemistry to the age of synthet- ics. finding its market limited be- cause of the .cost of its product, the chemical. research Swimmer--Fluffing out her hair . after a quick swim at Daytona Beach, pretty Barbara Denni- son dries off under:the bright sun.

Nylon was discovered by. acci- dent. Researchers were not look- ing for a new textile fibre, but merely studying the properties _ . of resin. The plastic they found with the fibre-forming qualities and exceptional strength spurred the expenditure of millions of - dollars on further research. The reason they were so excited about the strength of their dis- covery was the need for a strong fibre in the women's hosiery field. Just as the proceeds from dye- stuffs helped found the pharma- ceutical and organic chemicals industries, the advent of the automobile in this century pro- vided far-reaching stimulus to. the industry. The manufacture -of the average car involves, dir- ectly or indirectly, 256 chemi- cal materials, Chemicals made possible the welding process which resulted in mass-produc- tion of cars. The need for gas- oline brought about 'other by- products of crude oil which re- © sulted. in plastics, synthetic de- tergents, rubbing alcohol and paint solvents.
