Last year the poultry and eggs pro-
duced and eaten in the United States
were worth more than all the gold and
silver mined in the world during the
same year Except for the year 1900,
the egg product OF the country has ex-
ceeded in value that of its combined gold
and silver output for every year since
1850, which takes in the entire bonanza
period of our history. That, with the
poultry product, ALSO exceeds in value
the wheat crop of IS of the most fruitful
States and territories
Reduced to concrete terms, in 1899 the
egg record of this country was 1900

crate and 400 crates to car, so train
OF cars sufficient to accommodate the
transportation of all these crates would
reach from Chicago to Washington, a
distance of S6S miles, and then there
would remain several cars of eggs to

River and Flood Service, Whose Head
Is DIR. Frankenfe1d.
With the menace of the spring floods
upon them. hundreds of thousands of
people lfing in the territories likely to
be affected are now watching anxiously
for warnings from the river and food
service of the United States weather
bureau.
They recall, with feelings of appre-
h.nsiop the appalling floods of last year,
when the Ohio, The Kansas the upper
and lower Mississippi, the lower Mis-
souri, and their tributaries swept away
in mighty rushes $40,000,000 worth OF
property. They recall how the vast
plains of southwestern Arkansas, north
western Louisiana and the great tract of
country through which the Mississippi
passes were covered for 5000 square
miles with a mighty body of turbulent
water carrying all before it.
Yet despite all the losses. millions of
dollars in property and thousands of
liz es were saved by the timely warnings
of the weather bureau, whose river and
food service is directed by DIR. II. c.
FlGpkenfeld There are 375 places of
observation from which reports are sent
to him. and upon the information sub
mitted he bases his predictions. The
amount of rainfall and the extent of the
watershed. together with the capacity of
the streams to carry off the flood water
are the factors entering into the proph-
ecy. As soon as it appears that food
is imminent in any particular district the
