Times Staff Writer
DES MOINES, Towa, March 16.—Whatever else the corn ‘states governors who attended the conference on farm prob-| lems here stand for they are ‘unanimous on one thing—
: planning.
-Every man had a Yh each presented his plan from : the platform, they adopted a set of resolutions covering some of the non-controversal points raised; heard Herbert Hoover make his “farm crisis’ speech and adjourned. : One other point of agreement was the fact that Governor B. B. Hickenlooper of Iowa, who called the conference,
proved a swell host. Everything went off like clockworle —like an electric-clock without even a tick-tock. There had been some talk that this was to be a “Bricker for president meeting.” If so, it was a flop. For the handsome Ohio governor, | John W. Bricker, and his plan drew ** only perfunctory applause. The only Democrat present, Gov. # Henry F. Schricker, almost carried
= off the laurels by coming out for a © blanket farm deferment by selective
"© service for thé next eight months.
Schricker’s Plan Blasted
But a square-toed American Le- | gion man in a blue serge suit, who ‘turned out to be Gov. Dwight Griswold of Nebraska, knocked the Schricker plan into a cocked hat. He is a Republican—an independent one. Gov. Griswold told the corn belters that farmers are patriots and not cry-babies. He pointed out that = 100,000 boys had left Nebraska farms for war industry and the armed services and then added: “But our farmers in Nebraska made and harvested the largest crop in history in 1942 and this year we intend to make it even larger if the weather will permit. ” He got the greatest hand. of all. Even those governors like Dwight Green of Illinois, who had been predicting near-famine if their own plans were not put into operation at once, joined in the applause. “There are no trick federal formui las by which the farm wartime . problems can be solved,” Governor Griswold said. “Let us solve them as best we can right in our own states. In Nebraska we intend to . find our own help to plant and har- * vest crops. It will include business-
3 men, boys and women, Of course, it
will be difficult. “It's An All Out War” “But our own boys who are in the
= front lines in Tunisia. and through- - out the world, have far more diffi-
culties to face than the problem of labor for agriculture. © “Getting the labor for the war + industries is as essential as getting ¢ it for the farms. It's an all-out war . and this is part of the pattern of = sacrifice. I cannot decide the size ~ of the army, but I can oppose any
“blanket deferment for farmers, or
. any other group. To free farm boys ~ from the armed services would be unfair.” - The resolutions later adopted op- ~ posed blanket deferment. One of the fanciest plans was presented on behalf of Governor John Moses of North Dakota, a Democrat who was . invited but could not attend. It was | printed on slick paper and accompanied by a message from the governor. It was presented by Lieut. Gov. Henry Holt who indorsed the Griswold idea of self-help within the state. He pointed out that Governor Moses’ plan is based on that .- idea. Serious—Not Dangerous

FRENCH UNITY MAY BE NEARER
Report De Gaulle to Visit Gen. Giraud Soon in North Africa.
LONDON, March 16 (U. P).— Gen. Charles de Gaulle probably will leave for North Africa within the next two weeks for what may be a final conference with Gen. Henri Honore Giraud fo unite all Frenchmen fighting the axis, diplomatic observers said today, Giraud announced last night in Algiers that he is ready to receive de Gaulle “in order to give this union concrete form.” His message was sent to Gen. Georges Catroux, Fighting French delegate general in Syria, who represented de Gaulle in preliminary conversations with Giraud. Gen. de Gaulle and the French national committes, goverr.ing body of the Fighting French, met this morning, presumably to discuss Giraud message. De Gaulle was said to have heen
impressed favorably by the turn
of events in North Africa, particularly by reports, so far unconfirmed that Gen. Jean Bergeret, deputy civii commander of French North Africa, and Jean Rigaud, political affairs secretary, have resigned from the Giraud government. Both were “Vichyites” objectionable to de Gaulle. : Even before Giraud’s invitation was made known, de Gaulle yesterday expressed his readiness to go to North Africa to arrange for
closer collaboration between, and possibly immediate unification of his forces with those of Giraud.

Raising Chickens—Ne. 2
“Plan and order now if you want and ‘have space for chickens this Year. ; . ‘With the purchase of mature birds, the backyard flock of chickens may. be started at any time of the year. However, mature pullets and laying hens are at 2 premium in Indianapolis because of the poultry: shortage resulting from black market activities and the fact that farmers do not want to sell hens during the “egg-laying” season. : If of a good laying- strain, mature birds also involve a much greater financial outlay than the purchase. of day-old chicks which commercial hatcheries produce in large numbers, especially in the spring months. The young chicks now are so well classified according to standard breeding, potential laying ability and health that there is reasonable assurance of obtaining chicks that will grow into excellent birds. Moreover, the purchase of young chicks involves a very small expense for transportation. Abundance of sunshine, which helps to assure strong birds, is another advantage to establishing a flock in the spring. Waste and surplus products from victory gardens

Whatever foundation is used chicks or mature birds—the stock should be from a reliable hatchery or breeder producing chicks under the U. S. pullorum-control plan or the Indiana livestock sanitary board plan, Once the decision has been made to begin the enterprise in the spring, no time should be lost in ordering the desired chicks or adult birds. Some hatcheries have orders for all chicks they dare promise until May. So place your order now. An early start will help get young chickens well advanced in their growth before the hot summer months. If day-old chicks are purchased, one may expect to have broilers, sometimes: known as “squab” broilers, in from six’ to eight weeks. About two weeks later, the remaining birds of the same brood will weigh from 11; to 2 pounds. In still another two weeks, by the time the oldest-birds are 12 weeks of age, the average family will have used or disposed of those raised for meat. If the start was , made early in spring, there is still time to raise

advisable to make the start early in the spring. The cockerels will be used for food.

Pullets rejuire from 180 to 200 days‘from the time of hatching till they begin to lay. The backyard flock also may be started in the fall with satisfactory results by the purchase of wellgrown pullets. However, this plan does not provide young broilers and fryers, and it involves greater investment.

PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAM ASKED
Atherton, New Head of City Plan Unit, Looks to Post-War Era.
Drafting of a far-sighted public works program for the post-war era was urged before the city plan commission yesterday by its newly-elect-ed president, State Senator John W.
