Pupils Strive tx » Double |

Their 1942 Efforts in

Raising Food.

A victory garden program, which might well be the envy of many city schools, has been organized by Christian Park school 82. Arrangements have been made to include not only the pupils, but: parents and other ‘persons in the community interested in growing food for victory. Last year, pupils registered 275 individual gardens at the school. the summer, their gardens were visited and rated by Ross Cox of Technical high school. In the fall, blue ribbons were awarded

to pupils with outstanding gardens|

and an exhibit of produce was held at the school.

This year, with full co-eperation A of their teachers, the pupils are,

striving to double the number of gardens. In science classes they are learning how to select their garden plots; how to modify soils through the addition of coal, ashes, sand, humus, etc.

Principal Takes Part

Gardens will be planned in art

classes and oral and written discussions of -gardening will be . @pssigned in . expression classes. _ Throughout the swhmer, Mrs. Vivian Sowers Rankin, principal, * will visi and rate the gardens. Mrs. Rankin sponsored a garden army at school 32 in the last war. Next fall, she will direct the second produce exhibit. As part of the educational program, pupils were to hear Mrs. L. H. Earle discuss “Gardening as Related to Defense” at a mass meeting this afternoon. Adults of the community have been invited to attend a public meeting to accelerate the victory garden program at ¢71:30 p. m, March 26, at the school, 4700 English ave. A. A. Irwin, assistant county agricultural agent, will discuss planning and planting a victory garden, insect control, upkeep and other gardening topics.

Poultry Raising—No. 4

The prospective owner of a backyard flock of chickens has a wide range bf breeds and varieties from which to choose. Most of them

have been developed in response to market needs, preferences of breedérs and the taste of fanciers. Breeds raised for utility purposes (eggs and meat) fall into three main groups—light, general purpose and heavy. Each group comprises several breeds ahd varieties. The mdst common light breed is the Leghorn, excellent as a layer, but not so desirable as a producer of meat — except for small-sized broilers. Leghorn eggs are white.

Buyer Should Check

General - purpose breeds include the Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red and New Hampshire. There are several varieties of some of thesé s and they all lay brown or tinted eggs. Strains of these breeds that are bred for high egg production lay well and also make good table poultry. The buyer should check to see that his chicks are bred to lay. A bard Plymouth Rock from a flock with several years of constructive breeding will produce more than a bard Plymouth Rock without that breeding. Typical heavy breeds are the Jersey Black Giant and Brahma.

|Mature specimens of the heavy

breeds sometimes weigh 10 to 12 pounds, thus providing about as much meat as a small turkey.

Don’t Be Misled by Color

Chickens of white and other light plummage are preferred by some poultrymen because the pin feathers of such birds are inconspicuous. Other city poultrymen believe this characteristic is offset by the tendency of light-colored birds to get dirty and appear unattractive under

. average city conditions.

Horace E. Abbott, Marion county agricultural agent, points out that chickens should not be selected for color at the sacrifice of other good points, Size and temperament of birds merit the utmost consideration of city raisers. In backyards and welldeveloped suburban areas, fowl of quiet disposition, such as the general purpose and heavy breeds, are less likely to annoy neighbors than the smaller, less active ones. For this reason, light breeds (Leghorns) should not be raised in the city. They will fly and as Mr. Abbott says, “You'll have trouble keeping ‘ them in your own backyard.” 5 General-purpose birds usually are preferable for both meat and eggs

and the young stock of these breeds

Wide Range of Breeds for + Prospective Chicken Owner

are good broilers and fryers. When they mature, reaching a weight of five pounds or more, they make excellent roasting chickens. Even after the hens of these breeds have laid many eggs and have passed two years of age, they are good eating if properly cooked.

However, old birds are inclined to J

get over fat if fed liberally. No one breed or variety has all

the good points. Each has certain| 35

merits to fit individual needs and preferences. If the first choice does not give entire satisfaction, there is always the opportunity to make a change.

TOMORROW: How to manage the flock.

CONTINUE TRIAL OF

JOHN LEE TOMORROW -

Special Judge Samuel BE. Garrison of criminal court said today that he expects to be able to return to the bench tomorrow to resume the trial of John W. Lee. The trial has been delayed almost two weeks due to’ the illness of Judge Garrison. Court will reconvene at 9:30 a. m.

CREEK RISE HALTS SEARCH FOR BOYS

A further rise and the muddy condition of Fall creek today prevented dragging of the stream for the bodies of two 8-year-old boys believed to have been drowned in it March 9.

REPORT MENINGITIS UNDER GONTROL HERE

Indianapolis is holding its own against meningitis, Dr. Herman G. Morgan, health board secretary, reported today. So far this year the disease has struck in only eight places in the city—four times on the South side, twice in the central sector and once on the North and West sides. Two deaths from meningitis have been recorded. Although the present rate already exceeds that of 1942 when a total of only three cases of meningitis was reported, Dr. Morgan said it
