Egg Profits
Increased By
Good Handling
By taking good care of eggs on
the farm, poultrymen will be mak
ing a valuable contribution to the
food-for-defense program, points out
County Extension Agent M. L.
Powell.
Carelessness in handling eggs for
market lost 5 per cent of the United
States egg production in 1939. This
loss represented 175 million dozen
eggs with a cash value of nearly
30.5 million dollars. Careful han
dling means more eggs for food
supplies of this country and other
democracies, and additional income
for poultry producers, Mr. Powell
said.
The steps in producing quality
eggs on the farm are simple and
can be followed on every farm
without additional expense, he
points out.
The steps include:
1. Providing the flock with the
proper quality feed for good eggs.
2. Keeping a deep, clean litter
on the poultry house floor, and con
fining the birds in the house until
noon if needed.
3. Providing plenty of clean
nests, at least one to every five
hens.
4. Producing infertile eggs for
the market. This will require re
moving the male birds from the
flock as soon as the hatching sea
son is over.
5. Gathering eggs frequently, to
reduce the number of dirty eggs.
6. Cooling, eggs as soon as they
are gathered, to as near 60 degrees
as possible, to prevent spoilage.
Never place warm eggs in the case.

LETTER FROM OUR
CONGRESSMAN
Capitol Hill, Washington, D. C.,
May 10, 1941.
My dear Constituents: As the
great war in Europe rages in its
fury and awfulness, and the Axis
Powers press on in their effort to
defeat the Democracies this year,
the position of our own country be
comes more and more serious. Many
of our most thoughtful men believe
that the United States is now con
fronted with one of the gravest, if
not the gravest, problems of its ex
istence. Although we are launched
upon a program of preparedness
that, when completed, will enable
us to defend our country from ag
gression by any other nation or
combination of nations, this program
is really just getting started, and
it will be two full years before our
two ocean navy will be completed
and our army equipped and trained
as a modern fighting machine. In
the meantime it is of the greatest
importance that we furnish all aid
to Great Britain in order that she
may keep up the fight until we are
prepared. If England is defeated
we will face a hostile world alone
that will never rest until the Mon
roe Doctrine and the United States
have been destroyed or reduced to
shameful impotence, or they them
selves have been defeated.
The most serious aspect of the
war is what is called “The Battle
of the Atlantic,” or the extreme ef
fort of the Axis Powers to destroy
the shipping of Britain. England
must have supplies and materials
and to get them she must have ships
to replace those sunk by the enemy.
It is hoped that under the Lend-
Lease Act we will be able to fur
nish ships and materials without
having to escort or convoy them
across the ocean.
This week we debated and passed
by a vote of 266 to 120 a bill to
authorize the government to acquire
title to domestic or foreign merchant
vessels for urgent needs of com
merce and national defense. This
bill will enable the government, to
#
pay for and take over the foreign
owned ships, several hundred in
number, that have been interned
and lying idle in our ports since
the European War began.
The Department of Agriculture
has just published a little book en
titled, “Round the World With Cot
ton,’’ which presents in simple style
the story of cotton since its legen
dary origin in India five thousand
years ago and is designed to give the
average reader general information
on cotton and to stimulate interest
for additional facts on this impor
tant world commodity.
Cotton is still the most important
cash crop grown in the United
States. There is no other crop up
on which so many Americans depend
for a living. Approximately
million people in our country de
pend upon it directly for their live
lihood. The ten million people on
the two million cotton farms of the
South and Southwest depend upon
it for their income, while three mil
lion work in the textile mills and
another half million are engaged in
its marketing and in the cotton seed
oil and processing industries.
Sixty countries produce cotton,
but the United States produces al
most as much as all the other coun
tries combined, and cotton is not
only our most important domestic
crop and industry, but is our chief
item of export trade.
It is therefore of the highest im
portance to all Americans that the
cotton industry in this country be
nurtured and protected, and espe
cially the lot of the cotton farmer.
Sincerely,
A. SIDNEY CAMP, M. C.

My Electric Refrigerator
Pays Its Own Way
— tfh*u/‘77teH> £&fne>/
Yes, Ma’am! The new Electric Refrigerators
are penny-pinching misers when it comes to
running costs. And when it comes to con
venience and food preservation, they can’t be
beat. No matter how hot it is outside, foods
are kept automatically at low, safe tempera
ture. So there’s none of the wasteful, expen
sive spoilage that occurs in old-fashioned re
frigerators. And because Electric Refrigera
tion keeps foods market-fresh for days, you
can take advantage of special prices, buy in
large quantities and keep for future use. This
not only saves you money, but helps you avoid
many tiresome, time-taking shopping trips.
The new Electric Refrigerator pays its own
Way. You can’t afford to be without one. See
your favorite Electrical Dealer and learn how
, little an Electric Refrigerator costs —and how
easy it is to buy on easy terms.
