EGG PRODUCTION DEPENDS ON PROPER CARE OF PULLETS

THIS BUSINESS

Pullets that will produce eggs well next fall and winter need to be fed properly and managed well to obtain in them early maturity and satisfactory development, says E. F. Downen, County agricultural agent. Here are six suggestions on how to produce better pullets so that this county may do its share in the Food for Defense program. 1. Feed a well balanced growing ration—not just grain and water.

SUPPOSE YOU DO DISAGREE

if it does get you all riled tip. This is a Democracy, my dear, and in a Democracy the citizens have the privilege of saying what they think about everything under the sun. Usually we don’t think much this right, but at a time like this when emotions run high and people disagree violently we begin to wonder if the other fellow should have the right to express his opinions. We begin to suggest that perhaps certain meetings be prohibited. . . “And shouldn’t they? Didn’t it make you fighting mad to hear the things they said at the Municipal Building the other night?”

The argument between the ladies of the Garden Club had been heated. So heated, in fact, that when Mrs. Jones got home she was still hot and bothered.

2. Provide an adequate supply of fresh clean water.

3. Provide enough roosts in a well ventilated house or range shelter. 4. See that the pullets have a desirable range. 5. Provide some shade for the hot weather.

“The very idea!” she sputtered to her husband whom she found smoking a pipe peacefully on the porch behind the wild cucumber vines. “To say things like that when things are in the state they are today!” And then, “I tell you, Henry, there ought to be a law against people talking like that . . ”

6. Guard against thieving. That growing pullets need less detailed care than chicks, does not mean they should be neglected during the summer, states E. F. Downen. Neglecting a few items this summer may mean late maturity and low egg production this fall. There should be enough perches for all of the pullets. When warm weather arrives open the brooder house to provide all of the fresh air possible. Try to avoid overcrowding. A well balanced growing ration consisting of 250 pounds of whole yellow corn fed as scratch grain with a mash mixture of 100 pounds of ground yellow corn, 100 pounds wheat bran, 100 pounds of wheat middlings, and 50 pounds of meat scraps has proved to be highly satisfactory for hundreds of Indiana Poultry producers under average form conditions. If skim milk is plentiful on the farm, it may be fed and the meat scraps reduced to 10 pounds in the foregoing ration.

“Now, now, Martha,” her husband said gently .... “You sit right down there and relax, while I bring you a nice drink of cold water. . . .” She fanned herself with the brim of her hat and was able to smile as she reached for the water her husband brought a moment later. “How would you like it if there were a law that kept you from having your say?” he asked her. “But what I say makes sense! It needs to be said,” she announced. “I wonder if Mrs. Brown would agree with you about that?” “Of course not, Henry! She thinks she’s right and I’m wrong. But of course ...” ,

“Of course it did. But not so much I couldn’t remember that the kind of liberty we have in this country couldn’t exist if it weren’t for free speech. The citizens of the United States have said what they thought about things from Colonial days on down. And out of discussion, disagreement and more discussion has come the whole fabric of our representative democracy. “We’re building a great army and producing quantities of armaments in order to defend what we call The Americen Way of Life. Wouldn’t it be plain silly to go to all this effort and sacrifice and then lose our essential liberty by throwing away one of our most important heritages— the right to say what we think when and where and to whom, we please?”

“Of course you both have a right to your own opinions and what’s more you have a right to express them, even
