Gofta Feed 'Em to ' Make 'Em Work | | LEXINGTON, Reb. 14—The :Uni+ rsity of Kentucky Agricultural Experimental Station has found that fooling hens by turning .on electric lights at 4 a. m. shifts egg production from summer to Wwinter but doesn’t increase egg production for the year. This finding was announced iaf- ter three years of testing artificial lighting in laying houses. “However,” the station. reported, “since eggs are usually higher in price in winter, early morning light= ing of the laying houses often pays.” The Agricultural Department warned an increase of food should accompany lengthening of the hen’s working day. 1 Cardinal Hlond Primate of Poland, Auguste Car- dinal Hlond stpervised preparation of 'a report to Pope Pius #lleging persecution and ‘mass ‘shootings in Poland by the Nazi cohqiiérors.

A glass-en- closed “observation room” comnects the milking parlor with: cooling and bottling rooms. Stainléss metal pipes carry and cool the milk. A complete under- ground water system is supplied by deep wells. The barn, in addition to bull pens and a calf “nursery,” has storage space for 100 tons of feed, with ad- joining silos of 250 tons capacity And the “bovine paradise” is fire proof. % % 1 b8 s S50 Talhuin 4, AUTHOR SHOOTS FACTS STRAIGKT AP Feature Sorvice FRYERBURG, Me., Feb. 14—On a new chapter in the 35-year saga of Hopalong Caassidy. a fictional cow- boy immortal, Clarence E. Mulford, is lavishing a passion for accuracy of detail. | Mulford wants to know, for use in “Hopalong Serves a Writ,” to be published next spring as his 28th novel, the weight of $5,000 in gold coin.” Not ¢ontent with Iss au- thoeritativ sources, he asked the U, S. Treasury. The slight, professorial-looking writer whose “Bar 20" tales have | been conceived in the quiet of this dowp-East village for the last 20 years, spares no effort to be sure| of his facts. Once he traveled to Death Val- ley to check its fabled temperature ranges. Again, he devoted hours | to proving that an effective “knock~ out” drop could be concealed in a revolver cartridge. | "'In his first Hopalong story, says Mulford, who never had been west | ,of Kansas City, Mo., when he evolv- ,éd the limping, quizzical cow-punch- | ér in '1904, he made some “ghastly” | mistake about. firearms by relying | lon sécond-hand information.
