Growing chickens need some form
of vitamin A to make satisfactory-
growth. Birds allowed to range
about the farm during the growing
season usually pick up sufficient
quantities of green feed, but birds
confined or unable to get green feed
should have some feed that is rich
in vitamin A, say poultry special-
ists of the United States bureau of
animal industry.
Alfalfa-leaf meal is one of the
most economical sources of vitamin
A, when all feeds must be pur-
chased, and may serve as the sole
source of this vitamin for growing
chicks. Other common sources of
vitamin A, in addition to green
feeds, are yellow corn and milk.
The percentage of alfalfa-leaf
meal required in a diet, which con-
tains no appreciable quantity of vi-
tamin A from other sources, de-
pends on the ability of that diet to
support growth when vitamin A is
adequately supplied and on the vita-
min A potency of the alfalfa-
leaf meal itself. This potency is in-
fluenced by factors such as the
method of preparation, variety, soil,
weather, and cutting. Of these, the
first is by far the most important.
The best criteria of an alfalfa
leaf meal’s vitamin A potency are:
Age, color, and “brightness.” Un-
fortunately, it is seldom possible for
the purchaser to ascertain the age
of the meal he buys. Although the
color of an alfalfa-leaf meal is a
fairly good index of the meal’s vita-
min A content, the potency de-
creases more rapidly than the
greenness of the meal changes.
Although as little alfalfa-leaf meal
as 1.5 per cent of the total ration
may supply an adequate quantity of
vitamin A to maintain chicks in
good health and enable them to
grow, it is unwise to depend on
less than 5 per cent of an alfalfa-
leaf meal of unknown potency.
Selective Logging and
Cutting Brings Returns
“Selective logging and cutting”
should be the rule followed by the
owner of the farm woodlot when he
harvests his timber crop, stresses
Parker O. Anderson, extension for-
ester, University farm, St. Paul.
Selective cutting is one of the
basic reasons for greater logging
returns, besides being one of the
methods by which future timber re-
turns with even greater dividends,
are built up, states Anderson. To
get the greatest value and returns,
the farmer should cut the more ma-
ture trees, leaving the smaller trees
to grow until they mature and mul-
tiply their value.
The larger, commercially mature
trees over 16 inches in diameter,
breast high, will produce more lum-
ber of higher quality and financial
returns as well as economy in log-
ging. Harvesting the larger trees
will double, and even quadruple re-
turns per thousand feet as com-
pared to the logging and cutting
of the smaller sizes. Selective log-
ging and cutting provides for great-
er value, increases volume and re-
duces losses and handling costs.
Trees will continue to have an im-
portant role in the wise manage-
ment of idle land, Anderson ob-
serves, and offer a source of future
and annual income if properly han-
dled. Trees and forests are a physi-
cal protection to certain lands in
addition to being capable of yielding
economic returns.
The farm owner is in a better po-
sition than the large timber compa-
ny because he can harvest his crop
when it will bring the highest mar-
ket returns, and by watching the
timber market he can adjust his
cutting operations in proportion.
Of Interest to Farmers
Nine good sized eggs are equal
to a pound.
* * *
If vegetables sprout and grow in
the cellar storage, it indicates that
the temperature is too high.
* * *
About two-thirds of the total buck-
wheat crop of the United States is
in New York and Pennsylvania.
* * *
Plant breeding as a science is
less than 40 years old, and scientific
vegetable breeding is even younger.
* * *
Perhaps the most common error
in the management of permanent
pastures is to continue grazing too
late in the fall.
* * *
Massachusetts State college raises
from 2,000 to 2,500 chicks each sea-
son in connection with experimental
activities of its poultry department.
* * *
Agricultural engineers at Ohio
State university say that some farm
tools wear out faster from lack of
shelter than from use during the
busy season of the year.

Lights in the poultry house may
be started abruptly in the fall,
but must be gradually eliminated
in the spring, say poultry special-
ists at Massachusetts State college.
Not a pretty thing itself, the silkworm contributes to the world’s
beauty by spinning the raw silk for stockings to clothe lovely legs like
those of June Claire, above. Below, the Picture Parade marches through
a silk stocking factory.
Raw silk, as spun by the worm, arrives in American factories from
abroad, braided as are little girls’ curls. It is unraveled from the tight,
Individual bundles and once more becomes lengthy strands.
Long strands of raw silk are wovon by machinery into single strands;
these, in turn, are wound on bobbin*, ready for the weaving machine.
Almost magically,
the strands on the
bobbins of the ma-
chine operated by the
man and woman
above turn into flat,
woven silk. Coming
out of the machine,
they are the exact
size of the finished
stocking. The stock-
ing is folded and
sewed, heel and toe
sewed on separately.
When the stockings
in this factory have
been dyed, dried and
shaped, they are giv-
en accurate tests for
strength in the ma-
chine shown above.
Then, before being
boxed for the stores
—and the legs—they
are once more in-
spected (left).
A queer sight are the metal driers which shape the stockings.
LESSON TEXT—I Corinthians 3:10-15;
Galatians 6:6-10.
GOLDEN TEXT—And let us not be
weary in well doing: for in due season
we shall reap, if we faint not.—Gala-
tians 6:9.
PRIMARY TOPIC—In Our Church.
JUNIOR TOPIC—What Can I Do to
Help?
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-
IC—What Can I Do for Christ and the
Church?
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-
IC—The Need for Christian Workers.
“Laborers together with God”—
such is the glorious and distinctive
title of true Christians, according to
the verse just preceding our as-
signed text. Unfortunate is the all
too common error of regarding only
pastors and missionaries as the
workers in God’s vineyard. While
we recognize that there is a special
calling for some men to leave their
vocations and devote their entire
time to the Lord’s work, let us be
sure properly to stress the impor-
tance of every Christian’s being a
worker for God.
The portions assigned for our
study present the privilege and re-
sponsibility of Christians as fellow-
workers with Christ, under the fig-
ures of builders and of seed sowers.
I. Builders of the House (I Cor.
3:10-15).
The first requisite of a building is
a foundation and it must be strong
and true. Builders for Christ have
a sure foundation stone in Him.
1. The Foundation—Jesus Christ.
There is only definite assurance
in Paul’s word concerning the foun-
dation. It is perfectly clear to him
that there can be no Christian faith
without Jesus Christ. Such a state-
ment sounds almost childish. One
might well assume that no intelli-
gent person would claim to be one
of God’s builders, and reject his
foundation stone. But, alas, many
are they who claim to be Christians,
who profess to be raising a structure
of Christian life and testimony, but
who have set aside the only possible
foundation on which to build. Plain
consistency and ordinary honesty
would seem to require that they an-
nounce their organizations as being
social, benevolent, or political, but
certainly not Christian.
2. The Master Builder—and his
builders.
Paul was a pioneer. He declares
his ambition and calling to be “to
preach the gospel not where Christ
was named, lest I should build on
another man’s foundation” (Rom.
10:25). Such a privilege does not
come to all men, but let those who
thus serve learn of this “wise mas-
ter builder” that they may lay only
one foundation—Jesus Christ.
“Let every man take heed how he
buildeth thereupon.” It is a serious
matter to serve the Lord as a build-
er, for it is possible to go badly
astray at this point as well as in
laying the foundation. We dare not
heedlessly rush about “doing
things” for God, without giving
thought and prayer to our work.
3. The materials—good and bad.
Whether we apply Paul’s words to
the building of our personal spiritual
life or to the work we do in the
church they are equally serious and
urgent. “The day”—when Christ re-
turns, and we shall stand before
him to give account of the deeds
done in the flesh—will reveal by
flaming fire whether we have been
faithful, true and diligent in preach-
ing God’s Word, in prayer, in sac-
rificial service for Christ, or have
sought to introduce into our lives
and into the churches we serve the
“wood, hay, and stubble” of unspir-
itual schemes, neglect of God’s
Word, prayerlessness.
Saved? Yes, but entering into
God’s presence as a man who has
escaped from his burning house with
nothing but his life.
II. Sowers of the Seed (Gal. 6:6-
10).
The figure changes. No longer are
we builders—but rather sowers of
seed. Would that it were all good
seed that were sown—but we see
the sowing to the flesh as well as
to the Spirit. This is true
1. In our own lives. The inexora-
ble law of sowing and reaping pre-
vails in the moral realm as truly
as it does in the physical. Men who
would never expect wheat to grow
where they have planted thistles,
seem to expect that they may sow
in their own lives the seeds of selfish
indulgence, of careless neglect of
the things of God, and still somehow
reap the fruit of good character and
noble living.
2. In the lives of others. We may
be tempted to take attractive by-
paths and short-cuts to win the in-
terest and allegiance of men to our-
selves and the church, but they will
prove to bring but corruption and
destruction. Spiritual seed will al-
ways produce spiritual life. .
3. Waiting for the harvest. Har-
vest must be patiently awaited. We
know it to be so in natural things;
the same is true in the spiritual
realm. We may not even live to
see the harvest, but we may confi-
dently leave it in God’s hand. Others
may have the joy of reaping, and
will have, if we sow the good seed.

Desolation Never Complete
No one is so utterly desolate,
but some heart, though unknown,
responds unto his own.—Longfel-
low.
QEW-YOUR-OWN presents a
^ house frock with the heart to
oe up and doing, no matter how
busy you are, how old you are, or
how many calories you’ve forgot-
ten to keep count of. Sew-Your-
Own also presents the first doll
with a heart (the picture proves
it). And lastly it presents a frock
with a love interest for a Modern
Miss, something usually confined
to the movies.
Ideal for Home.
Sew-Your-Own always has had
a soft spot in its heart for the
Lady of the Fireside, she who
cooks and bakes and sews and
keeps everything right. Today’s
house frock for her (above left) is
as neat and sweet as anyone could
wish. The collar is in contrast,
the saw tooth edging piped to
match. Of course, it’s easy to run-
up and practically no trouble ajt
all to launder. Better make two!
A Doll—a Dress.
The little lady in the center,
above, knows her heart’s in the
right place because Mommy put
it there. Dolly Dimples is her
swell little playmate and her
heart’s in the right place, too. Ask
your Mommy to send for Pattern
1203 and you’ll have a great big
surprise in store. Yes siree!
Her Heart Unattached.
You will find Miss Svelt Seven-
teen (above right) is good to her
figure! Her frock, an original Sew-
Your-Own design, gives her real
distinction — that different-in-the-
right-way look. It is the ultimate
in chic in rayon crepe with a satin
waist front.
