and Culling and Breeding
Stock in Country
Daring the summer just passed,
the Poultry Husbandry Extension
men have done some intensive work
in culling and breeding stock through

ed Into three sections which are re
spectively In cltarge of D. M. Gray.
L. W. Steelman, und P. L. Sanford.
This past soason these men gave 543
calling demonstrations before
11,320 people. Over one
hundred thousand birds were handled
with the result that twenty nine thou
sand of this number were discarded
aa culls.
At present the work consists of
Judging poultry at different farms
and farm product show's, and the sel
ection of breeders for farmers. A far
mer to be eligible for this service
(Bust have kept n record of his flock
for one year and these records must
have been reported monthly to the
Poultry Extension Department. If
tile egg production warrants it and
tiie birds are true enough to type,
tiiey are branded with a leg brand.
Tbe breeders then must agree to breed
only from branded birds. Probably
five thousand birds will be branded
this year. This establishes a guaran
teed source of breeding stock.
In addition to this work, the exten
sion men are holding meetings. Feed
if? meetings are held frequently on
demonstration farms. This

SHORT HORNS ELECT
TEMPORARY OFFICERS
Series of Meetings Planned for

gomery county; vice-president. W. B.

ulty member or other authority of note
will speak on topics of general inter

ture. At the last meeting the new men
devoted part of their time to learning
Penn State songs.
It is interesting to note that of the
one hundred and ten men and women
enrolled in the short course, forty-two
are taking dairy manufacture. Nearly
all have had practical experience in
this line but are taking the course to
further their technical knowledge.
Two new instructors. J. IX Webber
’2l and A. C. Miller, have been secured
for the period during which the short
course students will be at Penn State.
The former will be an assistant in
dairy manufacture and the latter will
be connected with the Dairy Husband
ry department.
NEW RADIO ANTENNAE IS
LAST WORD IN AERIAI£
The aerial for the new broadcast
ing station which was installed last
Thursday represents the most sclemi
tlc and up-to-date ideas for antennae,
and is known as the three cage, star
type., so called from its appearance.
Three cages consisting of eight para
llel copper wires, held apart by light
octagon shaped wooden frames are
suspended from the top of the three
wooden towers. Midway between the
towers, these cages meet at a point
about eighty feet from the ground, and
from this point a smaller cage leads
to the building where a large electrose
insulator enters the operating room.
The counterpoise was constructed on
Saturday. This consists of a network
of wires which run between the tow
ers at a height of about six feet above
the ground. An underground passage
in the form of a wooden conduit pro
tects the lend in from the counterpoise
to the instruments.

\V. R. GORDON ADDED TO
RURAL SOCIOLOGY STAFF
An Important addition to the rural
sociology faculty has been secured in
the person of W. It. Gordon of Mon
tana. Mr. Gordon is a graduate of the
University of West Virginia, class of
1916, and for the four succeeding years

tional work, supervised play and
staged exhibits at fairs. One of his
moat noteworthy accomplishments
w.is helping to write, stage and pro
duce the big educational movie fflm re
cently put on by the federal govern
ment.
All these activities qualify Mr. Gor
don for his position at Penn State in
rural sociology work in which he is to
help develop the community idea along
co-operative lines and bring the rural
classes together so as to secure great
er efficiency in both social and econ
omic endeavors.

the raising of sufficient funds to com

ing Campaign plans.
The Y. M. C. A. intends to raise be
tween ten and twenty-five thousand dol
lars so that when the new quarters arc
ready it will be fully able to equip
them. The campaign will of necessity
run hand in hand with the General

DAIRY HUSBANDRY CLUB
PLANS ACTIVE PROGRAM
Tiie Dairy Husbandry Club is plan
ning to hold several meetings during
tiie second semester, the first of which

ruary. At this meeting, M. S. Cohce,
a member of the Interstate Dairy
Council, will give a short lecture on
dairying, illustrated by moving pic
tures of the Penn State herd ns well
as other large herds In the country*
Mr. Cohoe is an authority on this
subject. It has also been planned to
have prominent men, in both the pro
duction of milk and the manufacture
of dairy products, such ns ice cream
••■ml butter, speak at these meetings.
The number of meetings depends up
on how many speakers can be secured.
These men will present the possibilities
in this lino of work, and also give such
criticism as will be of benefit to a
young man.
The Club aims to provide a small
fund to send judging teams to the
leading shows. Last fall a team wns
sent t<i the Springfield stock show,
but tin* lack of funds did not warrant
the sending of a team to the interna
ilonal show at Chicago. A small
amount of money was raised iyi Penn

meet the expenses. This spring the
committee is planning to have stands
at various places on the campus on
