claimed and have found apparent rea-
son to support the claim. that the type
Of hen which lays well I'm winter Is not
the type that Laws well in summer. but
trapnest records Of flOcks that have
been cOmpeteutly handled for eggs al
through the year do not support that
theory. The hen that does not lay

properly handled, does not, as a rule,

previous or following winter. There are
exceptions. Of course, but they are rela-

TO keep the stock carefully culled Of
drOnes and moderate layers an the
time. summer and winter. 1T is the
persistent layer that pays the year
round profit in market eggs and she
is the true laying type that trap
nesters count on to perpetuate the
prolific laying habit In their stock.
The Summer Problems.
Summer has its own peculiar condi-
lions that antasOnize egg production,
and the profits are shrunken unless
the adverse conditions are overcome
The strictly fresh egg is always in

the eggs are TO be incubated. marketed

from the nests from three TO five times
during the day, as a rule the trap nest
is an Individual nest. and the layers are

box nest is used.
Lessons Summer Troubles.
Then. again. trap-nesuers have found
by experience that summer troubles
with broody hens are greatly lessened
by judiciously handling the traps. The
frequent handling Of the layers and
prompt removal from the nest seems to
diminish their brooding inclinatiOns.

is the report Of many who have had

1t is an interesting fact that quite a

Sioux Falls-The state convention
of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, is TO be held in Sioux Falls this
year, dates for the convention being
March 3 to 5. inclusive.
The decision to hold the convention
here this veal was reached by the
state committee of the association, in
response TO invitations extended by
the Poung Mems Christian ~assccia-
ton OF Sioux Falls college and a
number of the business men OF Sioux
Falls.
The previous conventions have been
primarily for the student associations.
but at the last convention held at
Mitchell, men from the cities OF the
state were invited TO consider the de-
yelopment OF the association work in
their cities.
This year, the convention viii well

and separate sessions will be held for
the consideration OF the need and the
development of the students. City

state in the Union that does not have

the use of a Young Mems Christian
association.
The state committee and many OF
the men OF the state feel that the time
has come for definite steps to be taken
toward the development Of this move
ment in South Dakota. 1t is expected
that this convention in Sioux Fails

The speakers and leaders OF the con

HIGH SCHOOL p o
Contains Much interesting Informs
ton on Relevant Matters

Mitchell-The fifth annual report of
the high schools of the state has
just been issued, which brings out
a vast amount of information con-
and shows what is being accomplish
ed in a way, likewise the meager
salaries which are paid the various
superintendent. In this one respect
there seems to be an urgent need for
an increase to keep up the standards
Of these institutions. The statistics
shown are that of the 129 high schools
of the state from which reports were
received there are il5 instructors. 2T6
Of them have college degrees; IS have
a four-year course. 20 a three-year
course, "a a two-year course, six a
half of the superintendent of these
schools have degrees, and it is argued
that for higher salaries more capable
men could be employed. The totas
attendance of pupils numbers 6,l95,
with 999 seniors.
The total amount of salaries paid
the superintendent is s73,266, or an
average of s1.375. The amount paid
to principals and other instructors
amount to s261, 249, or an average of
seas. The city of Lead pays the
highest salary for its superintendent
with $4,000: Aberdeen. $4,000; Sioux
Falls, 1926, and Mitchell's new super
intendent next year will receive s2,l00
making an increase of $500 over form
er years. With the beginning of the
fall term the Mitchell high school will
install domestic science in addition
TO that of manual training. which
has been in force for two years.
