HEN FACTOR IN (Ot\TRI'S
COMMERCIAL STATUS

When one looks ut the old chuck

barn yard or over the fields with her
chirping brood at her heels, one
would scarcely conceive that She is
| one of the most enormous factors
! in our country's commercial status.
She weighs but few pounds, looks
! wise, suspicious of all corners, but is
constantly plying her busy feet in
| finding the luscious things good for
! her babies digestive organs, One
might draw moral from her. A
| mother, at once protector and food
| producer, unselftsh in her affection
| feeding all her brood with the same
| generosity, often sacrificing the ten
| dereSt worms and little bugs to her
goose who would drive her away from
| her feeding ground, scares away the
hawk that would snatch away one of
her chicks from the timid brood
She is patient, yet firm melting
punishment out to the guilty with a
remonstrative peck, or rewarding
good behavior with an encouraging
cluck or soft touch with her wing.
But looking at her in her LONELINESS
and her simplicity We will realize
that her produce is greater than the
wheat industry, or of corn or cotton:
that no community or village is
complete without the representatives
OF her race. Here are few figures
to suhstantiate the heavy statements
made and which otherwise, no doubt,
would be seriously doubted The
