Twice this season the Herald has
had the opportunity of announcing the
fact that all hens have not gone to
roost for the winter, but that two

and stretching their motherly wings
over a new brood of young chicks.
Those two hens then enjoyed the
proud distinction of being the lead.

an address today at the first hearing Of

posed Of an erroneous Impression that the
body named by the president II for the
purpose Of investigating the farmer, or for
inquiring into the technical methods Of
farming. On the contrary, he asserted,
the commissions object is to make such
inquiries among the farm people as 70 de-
termine the economic, social, sanitary and
educational status Of the open country.
Present at the hearing was q representa-
tive gathering OF farmers from all points

ness men, ministers, teachers, bankers and
others. State and county officials also were
we'll represented. The desire of the Mary
land farmers to lend aid in the commits

discussions which followed Prof. Bailey's
afEwers. "

receipts and decidedly lower prices, the de-
mand here was sufficiently active to clean
up the desirable kinds OF beef steers In
very fair season at prices that were not
very much different from those prevailing
at the close of last week. In fact good
kinds OF cattle were generally quoted by
statesmen as fully steady with last week.
Good range cattle sold up as hugh as tb..D,
and while there were no choice cornfeds,
there were cattle good enough to bring
$40.
The feeling on cows and heifers was
weak and the trade not overly active, but

SHEEP-Receipts this morning were the
smallest for a Monday since the early part
of October and, In addition to that, the
quality, SO far as killers were concerned,
was not very good. In fact, there were
very few loads good enough for packers
As a result Of the light receipts and the
very good demand prevailing, the market
opened early and was fairly active at
steady prices, In spite OF the fact that
Chicago reported a very large run with the
market generally 2c lower and Kansas
City also a big run with prices sharply
lower. The few killers here sold very
posed Of in good season. Fed yearlings
sold up as high as $500, but there were no
strictly good lambs to make a Test of the
market. Pretty decent stuff sold up as
high as 1918. With such unfa vorable re-
ports from other market poin9s 1t might
be added that the feeling was that had
there been a very heavy run prices here
might also have been a little lower.
In spite of the fact that II wls a Monday,
when the demand for feeders is not ex-
pected to be as brisk as later in the week,
there was a very fair movement and prac-
tically everything desirable sold in good
season. Good feeding lambg sold around
