RESERVE BANKS NOVEMBER 16
Secretary MCAdOO Officially
Announces Opening Date,

Washington, Oct. 26.-The twelve
federal reserve banks of the new
banking system will be opened for
business on November 16. This has
been announced officially.
Secretary McAdoo. authorized BY
the currency act to name the opening
date, made the announcement His
choice of the 10Th was made despite
the fact that the directors and COVER
nors of the twelve banks in a recent
conference here voted thirty-seven to
thirty-five against opening on that
date and expressed their preference
for November 80.
In making the announcement Mr..
McAdoo declared he had reached his
decision after discussion with the fed
eral reserve board and because OF
emergency conditions in the South, in
the belief that the opening Of the
banks will be helpful there and will
benefit business In all sections OF the
country.
In statement the secretary made

Feeding for Egg Production

Egg production depends largely
upon proper feeding. Rations for farm
poultay focks can generally be criti-
cised, first, because they contain little
ground food and, second, because
animal food is usually lacking. These
two faults can easily be corrected.
By feeding ground grains in addition
to the whole grains and by supplying
animal food in the form Of sour skim
milk Of buttermilk, the feed cost for a
dozen eggs can be materially reduced.
A good grain ration for winter use
is made by mixing 90 pounds Of corn
with 80 pounds of wheat. Fer sum
mer mix 90 pounds Of wheat with 80
pounds Of corn.
In addition TO the corn and wheat
the following mixture Of ground foods
is excellent: Bran Q lbs; Corn meal
2 lbs; Middlings Q lbs; Beef scrap,
ID. This mixture can be fed dry in
hoppers which should be kept open
during the afternoon only.
Ground oats are good to use as a
dry mash, either alone or mixed with
other ground fee"s. II available give
buttermilk or sour skim milk as a
drink. The fowls should cat about
one half as much mash as grain food
About twice as much grain should be
fed at night as in the morning. At
Eight feed all that the birds will eat.
During the day keep the hens scratch.
ing 10 straw litter a foot deep. This
litter should be free from molds.
Supplement the above ration with
green food such as beets. cabbage,
sprouted oats, fine silage, etc. Grit
oyster shell or crushed limestone
should be available at all times.
Feed only clean loed and supply
plenty Of clean, fresh water.

Ask Stone About This

During July 1918, when there was
a tariff Of &c per pound on bacon and
hams, none Of these were imported in
to this country. During 1914, under
the Underwood free trade law and
with bacon and hams on the free list,
we imported 1876, 1000 lbs.

from editorials concerning the work of

William P. Evans:
Mr.. Evans was renominated as State
Superintendent OF Public Instruction
without opposition. His record has
been so admirable that he would not
have any opposition at the general
election except for the fact that party
lines are drawn on this non-partisan
office as a matter Of habit. Those who
are familiar with bis work will support
him regardless Of politics. Globe
