timely ADVICE
GIVEN FARMER
Should Hatch PulIets Early So
as to Benefit by HighPrice
of Eggs.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Soft the
farmer wishes to benefit by the high
prices that eggs are certain to bring
next fall and winter, he should begin
to get ready for them at once, say the
poultry specialists in the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The way to have eggs late in the year
is to hatch pullets early. 1t is the
early matches from which the early
pullets are derived that are the lar
gest money makers for the poultry
producer. The early matched cocker
els can be marketed in almost any
market in America when they attain
q weight of three-fourths Of pound
to a pound and a half each, which
they should reach at about to 10
weeks of age. respectively, at great
err profit to the producer than at any
other time of their lives. The early
matched plllets, II properly grown,
should begin to lay in the fall at the
time when eggs are scarce and high
in price.
Pullets must be well matured be-
fore they will lay many eggs.
Pullets that start to lay In the fall
before cold weather sets in will,
as a rule, lay all winter
It is the early Matched pullets that
produce eggs in the fall and early
winter, when prices are high.
February, March and April are the
months to do your matching in order
to secure early matched pullets.
Yearling and 2-year-old hens do
not lay many eggs in the fall, as they
are melting at that time, and the
feed they consume goes not only to
keep up energy and life Of the birds
but also to put on or grow a new coat
of feathers.
n properly n1atured pullets all sur
nlus energy beyond that needed to
meet the requirements Of the body is
available for the production OF eggs.
Write the secretary Of Agriculture,
Washington, D. e., for free bulletins
on poultry management.

THOMPSON BILL
WOULD REVISE
FORESTRY LAWS
State Forester Of Requisite Ed
ucation and Training is
Provided For.

CHARLESTON, Jan. 30.-The move
to strengthen and revise the forestry
laws OF the state OF West Virginia
has crystallzed in a bill introduced
by the Hon. George B. Thompson of
Tucker county last Friday, known as
House bill No. III, which has been
referred to the committee on forestry
and conservation OF which the Hon.
f. NJ IBinerman OF Marshall county
is chairman. No meeting Of the COM
mdttee has as yet been held to CON
slider the Thompson bill, but Chair
man Hlnerman has indicated that he
would probably call a meeting OF the
committee some time during the pres.
ept week.
Better Protection.
The bill seeks to strengthen and
revise the forestry laws OF the. stase
SO as TO give better protection to the
forests of the state 1t provides
among other things for a forester OF
the requisite education, training and
experience who under the direction
of the state game and forest warden,
shall have charge Of the forests Of
West Virginia. The bill clothes the
forester with authority to fully pro-
tect, the tinfbered regions and to sup
ervise the work Of reforcstering the
state which is contempt lated through
the gifts of the waste land to the
commonwealth.
The bill also increases the severity
OF the penalty for wilfully and maiic-
iously setting out fires which In the
past have burned over great areas OF
destroying everything In
their wake. Under the Thompson bill
It will become a felony to set. out
fires where II is now only q misde-
neanor. Those who in clearing on
their lands burn brush ana other tim

tunnel
Under the English Channel Ad-
vocated More Enthusiast
calIy Than Ever.

'tcorrcspondcnce of Associated Press).
LONDON, Jan. So Notwithstanding
the war. the group of enthusiasts VINO
for years have advocated the con-
structton of tunnel under the English
Channel between France and England
have lost none OF their ardor for the
enterprise. On the contrary, they are
pushing the scheme with more than
usual Mgor, pointing out that were the
tunnel in operation at present 1t
would be Of inestimable advantage to
England in rushing troops to France
Englands committee on Imperial
defense had the tunnel project before
1t when war broke out. War came
before this committee had time to re-
port It's findings to parliament, end It
is not likely therefore that any action
will be taken until peace u declared.
Backers Of the project insist however,
that they are ready to begin work inn
nediately. 4 I. i & i q
