FRANK HOLEY'S CALF

Frank Holey, who lives on his

about his new calf. With deer

own any property in foreign
countries, they should file report
of such holdings with the Treas-
ury Department before Decem-

all post offices.
It is pointed out that it is
necessary for the government to
have as complete information as
possible on the American stake
abroad to assist military author-
ities and the civilian government
on the fighting fronts and to
bring about sound solutions of
the post-war problems.
Report forms, known as TFR-

belongs to little calves.

POULTRY SUGGESTIONS
j FOR NOVEMBER
Vocational Agriculture Teach-
er W. E. Thomas, has this to say,
Following closely the recom-
mendations of the State Poultry
Conservation Committee, headed
by D. II. Reed, A. and M. Col-
lege, the Corrigan committee on
poultry conservation offers the
following suggestions for Nov-
ember :
1. Be sure that all poultry
house ventilators arc in good
working order and that lower
ventilators are closed. All north
windows should he closed and
other ventilators closed accord-
ing to wind direction and sever-
ity of weather.
2. Continue to supply green
feed if possible.
3. Inspect houses closely for
blue bugs and if found, start
control measures immediately.
4. Late moulters should be
kept and feed them well to make
good breeders.
5. All possible precautions
should be taken to avoid roup
in the laying flocks.
One way to help prevent cold
is to make the North walls of all
poultry houses air-tight. Mr.
Hughes has inspected the north
walls in his houses and has plug-
ged all cracks and holes. He be-
lieves that this precaution keeps
his hens in better health and al-
lows them to produce more eggs.
He is also increasing the grain
his hens receive as the weather
gets colder. Extra grain on cold
nights helps hens keep warm,
and insures the maintenance of
and
