According to . poultry and egg
man who deals III carload lots, oper-
ates 4 storage plant ana makes many
shipments to the Atlantic seabcard,
reform Is costing the state Of Kansas
d tremendous amount Of money this
spring. Prices are disastrously A.
fected, according to the poultry deal
ers, by the bill pending in the United
States senate limiting storage to nine
ty days.
Should this bill be passed, It VIII
practically prohibit storage, 1t Il
claimed, and experts figure that It
will double the scarcity and cut the
price in half in the seasons Of pro-
duction, thus operating to the In
jury Of both the producer and con-
sumner. Storage, 1t is declared,
brings uniform prices. The National
Poultry and Eggs Association Of the
United States will send to the senate
about 100000 protests against the
ninety-day storage law.

Ter. of the National League will issue

siderably IT has been the purpose +
Rigler TO get the men used to meet
ing the ball before they are ready for
regular batting practice. Consequently
the battery candidates have not been
practicing, as they would be "speedtng
them over before tho players nave
gotten their eye on the ball, and thus
the pitcher would have an IN fair ad-
vantage over tho batter. For this rca-
