According to extension poultry-
men at the college of agriculture,
feeding for higher production,
good management, and culling to
remove disease carriers were three
points stressed as important to
increase egg production.
Figures from the latest census
reveal that the number of hens on
Nebraska farms has decreased
two million within the last ten
years. Where disease is not too
great a problem, it may pay to

The number of early pullets next
fall can be stepped up by holding
pullet chicks that would otherwise
be marketed as broilers. Leghorn
chicks offer greater possibilities
for egg production than do the
other breeds, the poultrymen said.
However, they cautioned that
hatchings after May 15 probably
will not prove profitable at cur
rent prices, because of low hatch
ability and livability, late in the
season.
A number of farmers may be
able to provide additional housing
for poultry economically by re

temporary houses of baled straw

No such thing as blanket
deferment under draft act
. . . says Major II. A. Turner
Clearing up all misconceptions
regarding students under the se
lective service act, Maj. H. A.
Turner, head of the state selective
service board, said yesterday that
as yet there is no such tmng as
a ' blanket deferment."
Only case of deferment of a
group is handling of Class four
providing for the conscription act.
This class includes men with def
inite physical ailments, and they
are automatically deferred.
Personal examination.
However, men in classes one,
two, or three, whether they are
students or not are deferred only
after personal examination by the
local board of each individual case,
Major Turner said.
Grades, need, experience, possi
ble dependents and all the other
factors which might effect a man
if called into army service is
studied by the board before action
is taken.
"Out of ten engineers that may
be called to appear before the
board, six might be told to re
port for service while the other
four may be deferred." said Major
Turner as he emphasized espe
cially that each case is studied on
its own merits.
He also stated that an an
nouncement regarding selective
service which will have a vital ef
fect on college students will be re
leased Monday.
