as soon as an insect is detected,
send SOME specimens to this Of

Selecting Eggs for Matching

My experience has been that
quite a mum Der of farmers and
po1ltrymen are not careful en-
ough in selecting eggs for the
sitting hen or incubator. So
many p :ope seem to think that
Just so an egg is large it makes
no difference about the size OF
shape, which is sad mistake.
Always aim to select eggs of
medium size with perfect oval
shape and an entirely smooth
surface So many eggs are near
ly round, some long with both
ends nearly the same size, others
have ridges or rings around
them, all of which seldom hatch
chick and are not fit to be sent
out for Matching purposes.
have received eggs from first
class poultrymen many times
that were of the above discript>
ion, and only several chicks from
them were Matched. 1t is high
time that poultrymen and far
mers learn what description Of
eggs usually hatch SO as to save
quite an expense In rearing
chicks.

At this season of the year it is al

this and other sections have been cut
short and prices have gone skyward
in the midst of the season that is usu-
ally marked by plenty.
| The greatest bound in prices have
been for potatoes which may not have
reached the top price as yet, although
they are selling at So cents per peck
or s1.40 per bushel. Growers say that
the late crop may come out all right,
but that those nearing maturity at the

western states that depend on irriga-

supply the probablye shortage and that
the price will later fall to the neigh
