Successful cooperatives do not make
the mistake of withholding informa
tion from either members or the
public. There are few secrets in a
cooperative worth concealing, but
the rumors which take the place of
facts are legion. If the mind is
well supplied with facts, there is
little room for suspicions. It is
far better for outsiders to know al]
about a cooperative, too, than for
the members to be deprived of in
formation to keep a secret from

POULTRY REMINDERS TOR *
JULY
.John Killer, Washington State Col
lege Extension poultryman, advises
poultrymen that July is the time to
1. Make sure manure piles are cleaned
up and kept away from the buildings.
If flies are a problem, use DDT about
.poultry houses and equipment.
2. Cull out and sell the older hens
except the ones that are to be uaed
as breeders.
3. look after buying bulk wheat and
oats for next winters feed.
4. Laying flocks need plenty of
ventilation.
5. Check birds for signs of lice,
mites, coccidiosis, round worms or
tape worms.
6. If there are early-hatched pullets
in the flock, get the laying house
ready for use. A pressure sprayer
will save a lot of time and effort
in cleaning the poultry house and
do a better job.
7. Decide on litter material needed
for the coming winter.
8. Do the birds on the range have
plenty of feeder and waterer space?
Are their shelters moved frequently
enough to keep them off contaminated
ground?
GUM TROUBLES 7
Have you ever had the unfortunate
experience of finding chewing gum on
your upholstered chairs, furniture,
linens or clothing? V/hat can be done?
The treatment depends upon the type
of material. If it will not water
spot, the first step is to rub the
gum spot with ice. when the gum has
hardened, scrape and rub it out of
the material. This method is parti
cularly good for rungs and other
heavy materials. If the stained
material is washable, such as table
linen or a handkerchief or cotton
garment, the stain is less difficult
to remove. First soften the gum
with slightly beaten egg white. Let
it stand for several minutes at 1
least, and then wash as usual.
One trick which often works is to
hold an ice cube next to the gum so
that it will harden like a rock.Then
slip a knife under the gum and it
will come right off.
If the kerosene is used, plan to
wash the material in warm, soapy
water after the treatment.
