E ' TN CaYv��SPORTS � cora MN &owe afeeacoa Boger Bannister, slim British medical student, performed the individual athletic feat of the century when he ran a -tulle in less than four minutes. The Miracle Mile. The ink was scarcely dry on the news- papers reporting Bannister's achievement when 225 -pound Parry O'Brien of California sent the 16 -pound shot hurtling through the air for 60 feet, 5 inches, leaving the fabled 60 -foot maz-k shattered. And sti there is added to the record more evidence that man is steadily improving athletically, despite the supposedly softening effects of the automobile and the other luxuries of which our grandparents never even dreamed. Man runs faster, jumps higher and farther, hurls weights greater distances' than ever before. Take the most basic of all athletic endeavours—running. In the mile, which is reckoned to be the blue ribbon of all distances, athletes today aro running nearly ten per cent speedier than a century ago. Times which won title's in the first. years of one -mile championships are now commonplace with high school boys. • In the second half of the last century a 4:30:0 miler was a rarity. In fact, England's Walter G. George was the only really outstanding one. His amateur record of 4:21:4 stood from 1882 until 1895, and it was not until 1915 that his profes- sional record of 4:12%'4 was bettered by Norman Tiber of the U.S, When George set the professional mark, the news was received on this side of the Atlantic with grave doubts. The feeling you glean from periodicals of the time is that it was then held impossible for anyone to run that fast. , But when, a few weeks_ ago, Bannister's flying feet carried him through the "impassable" 4 -mile barrier, the world mar- velled at the performance, No one expressed the slightest doubt of the timing accuracy. The smashing of athletic records has become almost mono- tonous in recent years, and there exists no doubt as to the authenticity of each new human feat of speed, endurance or performance.

Use of Box Lids Can Cause "Pasted i8yes" "Dr. Goldhaft, Vineland Poul- try Laboratories, believes the puzzling running and pasted eye condition which is often follow- ed by blindness in chicks is due to chicks scratching feed into each other's eyes. He points out this condition is primarily found where chick box lids are being used as hoppers the first few weeks." Poultry Physiology . "Body temperature of laying pullets is 107° F,; respirations are about 32 per minutes; pulse about 350 per minute; they re- quire 2.6 times as much air to breathe per pound live weight as does a cow." Irregular Performance "Feed manufacturers have been puzzled by the varying re- sults of some of their customers using the very same feed, same breeder stock and good manage- ment. Irregular performance often has been blamed on dif- ferences in water supply." . Flightless Birds "A flock of flightless birds are being raised in an experi- mental project, the main pur- pose of the breeding experiment - is to eliminate primary and sec- ondary flight feather on each wing, so that the job' of pluck- ing can be eliminated directly saving dressing expenses," Ready To Cook Poultry Tastes Better "Two studies recently con- ducted at 'Cornell University in cooperation .,with , a taste panel of staff members, hears this out. They showed that the longer the storage period, the greater is the preference for ready -to -cook poultry over dres- sed poultry. As the storage period Iengthened, the prefer- ence for ready -to -cook poultry increased. Off flavors appeared first in the liver, gizzard, and thigh, and slower, in the breast and wings of the birds," Chickens, Eggs and Dollars "Four out of five farmers still keep chickens. Poultry and eggs are the third ranking source of farm income, surpassed only by meat animals and dairy pro- ducts. On the average, about $1 in every $10 earned by farm- ers throughout the country comes from the sale of chick- ens and eggs." Clinton Farm Supply PHONE' 12'21 CLINTON zocitiumomommocomg
