FRONT 06; Over a number of Years, con,. sistently high egg fertility has been obtained, at the Experi- mental Farm, Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture, Brandon, with the use of six or seven males with 100 Barred Ply- mouth Rock hens, Results with the lighter breeds have shown that highly fertile eggs can be produced using five males per 100 hens. • • Hatchability influences hatch- ing egg prices and hence is of great importance to the pro- ducer. The production of quality hatching eggs involves every condition for the efficient pro- duetion of market eggs plus several additional factors. These include: the provision of an adequate number of males to ensure fertility, the selection and care of hatching eggs and the provision of a good breeder ration. Change of Plans Like others in his league, this ten-Year-Old Little Leaguer had dreams of baseball greatness, ale would practice after school in 'the Spring, and 01 day long in the summer, Nothing could discourage the boy in his effort! to becOrne the best player in bis town, '' After a particularly long Ses- sion one day, the boy called his father out to the back yard and proudly announced that he was "hitting them Over the fence every time," "Watch this, Dad, I'm going to be a home-run hitter for sure," He tossed the ball high with his left hand and took a mighty swat at it with his bat as it came down, He missed. "Strike one!" he shouted. So he tried again, He took careful aim this time and swung harder, But again the bat fan- ned the breeze, "Strike two!" yelled the youngster. The third time he swung at the ball, he spun completely around and landed face down on the ground. "Strike three!" he called lamely, as he wiped the dirt from his mouth. Worried about his son's wounded pride, the father ran to help the boy to his feet. But his alarm was hardly justified. The boy looked up and beamed at his father. "A shutout, Dad!" he en- thused. "Maybe I'm not going to be a home-run hitter, but I'm sure going to be a great pitcher!" Big thrill for a little boy is his first fish. Six inches of perch representes a whopping catch for David Ford, 4, above. Below, Allen Sherman, 28, of Brooklyn,.N.Y., poses a record-breaking catch of blue ,marlin at dockside in San. Juan, Puerto Rico. The weight, 756 pounds, must be confirmed by the International Game Fish. Commission before it's official. Largest catch of blue marlin recorded previously was a 742-pounder, caught off Bimini in the Bahamas, in 1949. In the sternly days of.1945, Swedish forestry worker Erie Ltinclovist had been compelled to leave his Javanese wife, Sari, in Nagrek, a village about thirty miles east of Bandung, where they had been llving, In the summer of 1947 the Dutch asked him to resume work in their forestry service, so he flew •back to Java with one dominant purpose in his mind: to find Sari pr learn what had befallen her in the repub- lican revolutien which had swept the country, the fighting between Dutch and Indonesians which was still going on, All the way from Bandung his jeep had to Cope with mined roads and blown-up 'bridges, This hitherto prosperous coun- try seemed dead. Villages were, burned down, devastated; rice- fields overgrown with weeds, The republican army had adop-, ted scorched •earth tactics and driven the people away. Enemy skirmishers sniped at the col- umn from hilltops and had to driven*out by 'the Dutch .iii-' tary escort.. eOne bullet just missed Lundqvist. When he arrived at, last at the village where • he had' lived among Sundanese peasants for three years; 'there was a deathly silence everywhere. The doors stood open, the huts empty. Then a voice hailed him from a barnbob thicket; Oessin, a na- tive he knew Well, came run- ining to him, and grasped his hand with joy. "Oessin!" Lundqvist cried. "So you're still. alive! Where's your wife, Anna? Where's. Sari? "Sari's alive," Oessin replied. "She's in a little hut over there. Over the brook." "Why wasn't Nagrek bu.rnt?" Lundqyist asked. Tips From Canada's Greatest Salesmen Claiming Acts 16; 540; 8: 4 Acts 16; 1Wore Cpr each lKemory at Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greek,' Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God, 1 Corinthians 1:23-24. igsuOitdhnaeen :c. f () chaieonu'ssFnsgearesm ele Psalmist wrote; needsin Divine wrote; "The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD; and he delighteth in his way." 37:23, But how can we know what steps we should take? There is often a period of indecision and wonderment, Abraham's servant wondered when he saw Rebe- kah if she were to be the one to become the wife of Isaac. Genesis 24:21. He said, "I being in the way; the LORD led me." As we take one step in the will of God our next step will be- come clearer. Paul, accempanied by Silas and Timothy of Lystra, was on his second, missionary journey. They had "visited the churches established on the first mission- ary journey. As they moved west they were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to go into Asia, the area to the south of which Ephesus was the main city, They thought to go north to Bithynia but the Spirit suffer- ed them not. So they went straight ahead to Troas. There in a vision Paul received a call to Macedonia. The party was now joined by the beloved phy- sician, Luke, who later wrote the Gospel record and the book of Acts. Paul struck for the big cities, Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens and Corinth. He pioneered the work in each place and one or more of his companionSt tarried to see the work established, After a year and a half in Corinth he set out for Jerusalem. He stopped at Ephesus and the people desired him to stay longer but God's time for his three year pastor- ate there had not yet come, He went up and saluted the church at Jerusalem and then returned to Antioch from whence he had started. Men with a Divine call are needed in the growing suburbs of our big cities today. There are many obstacles but message of the crucified Christ is the need everywhere, Each year loose smut causes substantial losses to the farm ers of Canada and each year the grower is confronted with the problem of controlling the disease. Several simple methods of control are now available and any farmer can readily treat a few bushels of seed each Year which will provide him with a supply of smut-free seed to meet his main require- ments the following spring. • * * Larce scale hot - water ma- chines adapted for custom treat-' ing have been established in, a few districts but the great majority of farmers must de- pend upon their own resources to treat their barley. * * * One proven method is to cov- er several bushels of seed in a barrel or tank with water and leave standing for 64, hours in a room that is constantly heat- ed day and night to a tempera- ture between 72 and 77 degrees. F. The excess water is then drained away and the seed spread out to dry. The drying must be done rapidly to prevent sprouting. Fermentation occurs during treatment and this is accompanied by a foul odor. * Actording to Dr. L. E. Tyner loose smut was effectively con- trolled.by a new method tried out at the Edmonton Labora- tory in 1955. The method will be tested further but in the meantime interested growers may wish to try it on their own farms, The seed is soaked for three to six hours in water, drained and sealed in milk cans or in large airtight pliofilm bags tightly tied after filling. The container is left for 48 hours in a room heated day, and night to a temperature of '72 to 77 de- grees F. The seed treated in this manner dries more readily than in the long soak method and no objectionable odors are produced. * * * Certain physical characteris- tics of eggs are related to hatch- ability. For best results,. eggs should weigh at least 24 dunces per dozen. Eggs which are extremely large or poorly shaped should be discarded as well as those with pronounced ridges or signs of shell weak- ness. • * * The frequent gathering of eggs is essential to prevent them from becoming overheat- ed, chilled' or soiled. They may be kept in ordinary egg cases which are turned from one side to another daily, and stored in a cool, well ventilated room where the temperature is be- tween 40 and 60 degrees F. Frequent •egg shipments void the rapid loss in hatchability which results when eggs are stored for a period exceeding sevn days. * * • , A good laying ration is not necessarily a good breeder ra- tion. Bieeder rations supply higher levels of certain nu- trients, such as riboflavin, manganese and Vitamin B12 which are required to develop and hatch the chick. The change Over to a breeder ration must be gradual to avoid a product tion slump and should be com- pleted six weeks prior to the collection of hatching eggs. * * Several million pounds of 2,4-D will be used in Canada this year to reduce. the damage due to weeds in grain fields. RecOmmendations with regard to the amount and the proper time to apply the material are issued for different regions by Local Experimental Farms and provincial departments of agri- culture. * 3E01' GOTTA ittAirg CALL A physician diagnosed a man's ailment as nerves, and prescrib- ed accordingly. The fee was $5 and the prescription $2. The man had only $5. "Five dollars is all I have," he told the doctor. "Lend me two dollars and, I'll have 'the prescriptionfilled." The physician gazed at the man, then said, "I have made a mistake in my 'diagnosis. Your nerve is • all right. You are af- flicted with an enlarged gall, There's no remedy for that." Since the herbicide may cause some injury to the crop if ap- plied at susceptible stages of development, recommendations outline the stages of crop growth when it is safe to spray. It is fortunate that these safe periods exist for several days, because unfavorable weather conditions may limit spraying operations On certain days, a a J. R. Hay of the Central Ex- perimental Farm in Ottawa, re- ports that weed damage occurs when the grain plants are very young, resulting in , reduced yields. Therefore, although the recommended time for apply- ing 2,4-D May extend over a relatively long period of time, it is best to make the applica- tion as near the start of this period as possible. Also, in early stages weeds are easier to get rid of, and lower amounts of the chemical can be used for the job. Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking 1. Use the magic word, "you," not "I," constantly. Learn in advance your prospective buy- er's needs. 2. Don't imitate the personality of a great salesman. You may learn from some of his techni- ques, but you must adapt sales- manship devices to your own personality. 3. Create a positive, favorable response. Your prospect is more apt to say "yes," if you radiate cheerfulness, courtesy, confi- dence. 4. Don't "just drop by" when you intend making a sale, or you'll be considered a bore. Have a clear sales objective in mind, and arrange an appointment with your prospective buyer. 5. Be a good listener, rather than a high - pressure talker. Sometimes, by first listening to your prospect talk about some extraneous subject his hob- bies, his golf score — you can put him into a receptive mood to accept discussion of your pro- duct. 6. Be punctual in your ap- pointments, and present a neat, healthy appearance. In Death of a Salesman, Willy Lowman pre- sented a truism when he talked of riding to success "with a smile on my lips and a shine on my shoes," 7. Don't have a single "can- ned" sales approach. Be flex- ible, in case your prospect re- jects your first presentation. A good salesman always has more than one arrow to his bow. 8. Find out who makes the real buying, decision, In every organization, there are dozens of people who can say -"no." Only one man can either say "no" or "yes"; see him. 9. Learn how to express your- self naturally in speaking and writing. Perhaps evening cours- es can help you, 10. Gauge that point when your prospect is ready to sign. A good salesman knows when his talk has "closed" the deal, then has the sense to keep quiet. — 'From LIBERTY rglIZIEIPJ EM1111'©CJ®© mum EWE ®MME DOED BMIDEOMWE BEDUEME MEWMID OMMMWEIO BOMMU DEW MEE DOEMOM 0E0E00 DOD MOM OOHED MIMEO= RIEMEM MMEDOMM MBODWOOR 000W 0=0 OWD DOWD MOM ©EE ODDE A gerian peasant is searched and has papers checked at a mountain check point. These can be made in various ways; building stones, bricks, concrete blocks or cedar poles staked down with soil or gravel pressed •in behind. For a better appearance one should not have more than, three or four steps together, except, of course, where the slope is quite exten- sive, and two or three of such series can be linked with a lit- tle bit of level path. Also to add to appearances and, interest, we can have the connecting path run at right angles to the steps. Garden paths may be made of many different materials; flag stones, either natural or cast, concrete, bricks, cinders; gravel, or if traffic is light, a good piece of tough sod. Power Saves Labour Where the lot is fairly large, a garden tractor and a power lawn mower will save time and hard work. These machines are not expensive and, given mini- mum care, they will last for many years. They will do the work at least five times faster than by hand. It is a Mistake to purchase too large equipment, especially in tractors. The smal- ler types are much More easily handled and with attachments will do almost every chore, ex- cept heavy plowing.

But almost everyone's gone from the village, except Sari." Outside the hut a woman sat cleaning rice. "Is Sari here?" LundqVist asked. The next mo- ment Sari was standing in the doorway, speechless. "I knew you would come some day," she exclaimed happily when she could find words. "A fortune- teller in Garut said he saw that you would come . . . they took our house and plundered it. Ev- erything is destroyed there." He took her back to a hotel in Bandung, where she told him of her terrible ordeal. Four days after he had been evacuated, she said, a party of police came to kill him. Their job was to kill all whites and all who had sided with them. Four stood with their pistols pressed against her while others pillaged the house. They threat- ened to shoot her if she did not tell where he was, but she re- fused. Eventually they went off, leaving two guards to 'kill him when he returned. Later, more police arrived and took Sari for questioning, with other Sundanese women who had lived with Dutchmen. Some women had had their hair shaved off for protesting their love; others had been treated se badly that they had gone mad, The police chief told them they must now become loyal Indone- sians, never think of. Dutchmen, and marry Indonesians if any Would take pity on them. The wife of a Dutchman who said she .could never forget her house and husband was seized by the hair, flung to the ground, and shot. Sari then decided to save her life by agreeing, and was re- turned to Nagrek. But more police came to rob and pillage and Sari's house became a police station; she went to live in vil- lages up in the mountains,. and only came back when she heard shots and an old woman said her husband had returned. Lundqvist describes other strange and dramatic hoppers-, ings in "In Eastern Forests," On a lonely road his jeep was stop- ped by a stark naked woman who said that three robbers had intercepted her on her way to the near-by village from a tea plantation and taken her clothes, "I had a quarrel with my husband," she explained. "He's bad, so I left him, This is the punishment, I understand, But never go back to him. If you can lend me a sack or some- thing to cover myself with, go'on to the village down there." ..,,Ltincitivist's Work took also whet-1g the cannibal tribes of Vew GUittea, who at once became friendly when they saw Sari in the party, The book abounds in strange stories of little-known people and has good photographs. 10.

Keep Planting For a great many of the vege-. tables one can and should con- tinue planting at 'two week in- tervals right up to the first or second week in July. Beans, corn, carrots, beets; lettuce and other quick growing or matur- ing vegetables are in this class. By spreading out planting, we spread out and increase the har- vest arid keep top quality com- ing along. With this late plant- ing, it is advisable to speed growth, with cultivation, fertili- zer, and if necessary, watering in warm weather. At the fall end of the season, we can pro- tect from the first frosts with some light cover of newspapers, old bags, or straw. When Weather is Hot When the real warm weather starts one should make a few • changes. In the flower and vege- table garden, a light cultivation once every ten days or so will not only keep down weeds but it will conserve moisture and tend to keep plants growing and healthy even in really hot weather. Watering will probably be necessary, in some parts of Can- ada now. Here a lot of mistakes are made by those unfamiliar with the likes and dislikes of plants. One thorough soaking, of lawn, flower or vegetable gard- en, one that will take the moi- attire down a couple of inches, is worth a dozen Sprinklings and it Will last for some time. Sprinkling never gets the trioi- shire down more than a frac- tion' of an inch and the roots must come up to the surface to get it, thus exposing thetri=, selves more and Mote to drying. and killing by heat and sixth Healy eoaking, however, does not Mean turning the nozzles On full blast. The nearer we get to fine mist the hotter. Paths Paths connecting Upper and lower gardens With lower levels, may need Some' steps, PENNY "'PENNY"' .
