, CHICK MANAGEMENT .-{Start by, buying or hatching only high-quality chicks. A little jnore spent at the beginning can ‘ suit in a great deal more profit I the end.
it Use well-built and well-ventila- ted poultry buildings of standard ; sign. House should be adequate in size for the number of chicks you plan to brood. Allow at least I/I sq. ft. of floor space per chick through 6 weeks of age.
‘? Type of heat used may depend Iomewhat on regional conditions. When a hover brooder is used, al- low 7 to 10 sq. in. of floor space der the hover for each chick. he number of chicks per brood- may be'350 to 500, depending ‘upon size of brooder.
From 1 to 4 weeks before chicks arrive, clean the house and equip- ment. Then disinfect thoroughly. When cleanin.g— disinfecting in cold weather, operate the brooder to maintain a house temperature of at least 70 degrees. This is also a good opportunity to check the brooder’s efficiency.
A clean, highly absorbent lit- ter should be used. Start with a“ litter depth of 2 to 3 in. Keep lit- Ier dry with good ventilation and by avoiding overcrowding. Keep loose with frequent stirring.
From a practical‘ standpoint, exact brooder temperature is not 33 Important as the comfort of the chicks. If chicks are active in the area around the hover and if 3193' do not huddle, they are com- lortable. Reduce the tempera- ture about 5 degrees weekly, but adiust this to weather conditions.

pre-schoolers, held at the Health Centre, will be the only ‘special clinic ‘set up this spring. How. ever, inoculations may still be obtained at the regular immuni. zation clinics held every Friday afternoon at the Health Centre.
Dr. Bonnell went on to explain that there appears to be some confusion concerning the interval between polio inoculations. The first and second inoculations should be had at least three Weeks apart, but, unlike most other immunization intervals, there should be an interval of not less than seven months between the second and third or fina1.in- oculation.

crepe paper to admit subdued light and allow chicks outdoors as soon as the weather permits. HOUSE PLANTS ~ _House plants can be divided into three general groups:
(1) Foliage plants, which in- clude ferns, beguonias, pal-ms, rub- ber plants, dracaena, aspidistras, ivy, asparagus, etc.
(2) Flowering plants, such as flowering begonias, geranium, glo- xinia, cineraria, primula, hydran- gea, cyclamen,,bulbs, etc.
(3) Succulents and ca-ctic.
Only the first two will be dis- cussed here.
FACTORS FOR GROTVTH There are five main factors of env-ironment influencing the grow- th of all house plants; tempera- turle, light, water, atmosphere and Teiiiperature: Foliage; plants usually prefer a warm tempera- ture of 60-65 degree» F. at night. In daytime this may rise 10-15 degree in sunlight. Flo‘ ering plants prefer a cooler tempera- ture of 50-55 degree at night, with a corresponding rise during the day. This is considerably cooler than most of our houses are kept. Light: In the average home, plants should receive all the light possible. Large glass windows with light frames and no obstruc- tions should be used. For most plants a south window is best. Flowering plants like plenty of sunshine while foliage plants will do with considerably less. Ferns, and in summer, saintpaulias pre- fer direct skylight witrout sun- shine.
Water: Water is the vehicle which carries raw food materials from the soil into the plant and its transpir'ation‘from the leaves makes it necesssary to have a constant supply available in the soil if the plant is to remain vig- orous. At the same time it is nec- essary tohave proper aeration in the soil «as the plant will suffer if the soil is too wet. The sim- plest rule is to apply water when the plant needs it.
A plant needs water when the soil has dried out so that it cru-m- bl’es in the hand. Enoughwater should be applied to saturate the entire ball of earth. A little water coming through the draina-ge hole at the bottom of the pot shows that -the soil is saturated, but a lot of water draining through shows that too much has been applied. This will impoverish the soil by carrying away much val- uable plant food.
Most plants grow best when wa- tered by standing the pot for a few minutes in a shallow pan con- taining an inch or two of water.

Busy Week Is Reported For Inoculation Clinics

It appears that Salk Polio Vac- cinations have made a vast im- pact _on the reduction of paralytic polio both in Canada and the Uni- ted States, However, pol-iio epi- demics mostly occur in cycles of from six to ten years and we may now be at the bottom of the cycle. It is, therefore, important that people become immunized now before the cycle begins to rise again,

. moist. This applies particularly to
saintpaulias, (African, stemless herbs) wh-ic-h should never be wa- te ed from above as cold water wil spot the leaves. . Atmosphere: Ventilation is nec- essary for plants, just as it is for humans. They should have fresh air regularly, but must be kept away from cold draughts.
The humidity in t-he average home, pa-rticularly in winter, is much too low for most plants, so‘ that little success can be expec- ted unless care is taken to/sup ply moisture. This is the cause of
failure with many cyclamens. Humidifiers, pans of water plac-
ed on radiators, or standing the pots on saucers or trays of gravel which is kept moist will help. Care must be taken,‘ however, that 'the pot does not actually stand in water as this will pre-
vent air from penetrating to the
lower soil level in the pot. Soil: All house plants, with the possible exception of geraniums,

In Court
orrAwA (CP) — The railways
' Monday failed in an attempt to
get their latest freight rate award boosted through an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. It now remains for the federal cabinet to decide on the disposi- tion of a 3.6-per-cent general in- crease, which the cabinet has suspended until May 1 pending hearings on a separate appeal by eight provinces.
Mr. Justice C. H. Locke Mon- day dismissed an application by the railways for permission to appeal to the highest court on a point of law. . UINFOIUN-DED ASSUMEPTION He ruled that the railways in their application had made an unfounded assumption as to,the way the board of_ transport com- mis-sioners considered railway fi- nancial factors in arriving at the size of the increase.
The carriers had sought a 10- per-cent boost from the board, which last December gave them the 3.6 per cent effective Jan. 15. On appeal by all provinces ex- cept Ontario and Quebec, the
Railways Fail
Appeal
cabinet on Jan. 7 suspended the increase until March 1, and last month extended that to May 1. A cabinet hearing on the pro“ inces’ appeal will be held in the meantime, probably soon after the March 31 federal election. POINT OF LAW
The railways sought permission to go before the high court on the claim that the transport board made an error in law in its judg- ment.
The railway contention was that the board, in fixing the amount of the increase, failed to take -into consideration increases of -more than 250,000,000 in the rail investment of the CiP‘R\.since 1947. -
MKR. Justice Locke ruled that railway investment had been taken into consideration.
In the appeal to cabinet, the provinces are contending that the board, in determining the amount of the rate increase, wrongly took into account a =CPRVdeferred in- come «tax fund accumulated from current r e v e n u e 3 including freight rates.
soil is usually compost, made of sod from a good loam pasture and rotted manure in equal quan- tities piled together and allowed to stand for a year, so that the manure and slid can rot thorou- ghly. When plants are potted, one -part of sand and one of leaf mold should be mixed with two or three parts of this compost. This will suit most plants and one finds through experiment just the right mixture for each plant. For instance, geraniums will grow best in compost alone; ferns will need less sand and more leaf mold.
Like animals, plants must be fed. One cannot expect success from any old backyard earth. Next week this column on House Plants will be continued and will include The Care of House Plants.
THE BLEND TREND
Spring materials will consit of more iblends rather than all one- fiber fabric. Blends using natural fibers are much easier to sew thaiii purely synthetic materials and are also more comfortable to wear. In the manufacturing process two fibers are spun to- gether so that their properties are consistent in every thread of the fabric.
Some very sat-isf-actory d-rip and dry blends are 70 percent tery- lene and 30 percent wool or nay- on; 65 percent terylene and 35 per- c-ent cotton; 60 percent nylon and 40 percent acetate or rayon. If a terylene and cotton blend con- tains more cotton than terylene the fabric _will not retain pleats and will require ironing. It is therefore, very important to re- for to the label. If no label is available, Miss Moseson urges homemakers to insist on accurage information from the retailer. The 65 percent terylene or dacron with 3.5-..peroent__cott.on..-blend is an ex- cellent material for summer wear. It has the feelof cotton but it is very crease resistant and has excellent pleat retention.
Any drip and dryer wash and wear material that is carefully washed and hung up dripping wet will not need ironing. If careless- ly washed permanent creases can easily develop. The material should not be squeezed or wrung after washing or rinsing. I-t must be rinsed iminedia.tely after tak- ing out of wash water and hung up dripping wet.
