Why not produce eggs in the winter?
Get the advantage not only of in
creased production, but of high price.
In January eggs sell on an average
for about 80 cents per dozen. The
price decreases until in April eggs are
bringing only Is cents. A large number
of eggs are put in cold storage at this
time and this keeps the price fairly
high considering the great amount of
eggs produced. The price drops to II
cents during the summer months be-
cause there is such large number of
poor eggs on the market. In Septem-

90 Eggs
What the average
farm hen produces

we will take Arkansas to illustrate the
point.
The average county in Arkansas con-
tains about 5000 farms. If on each
farm there had been 100 hens, each
laying through the year eight dozen
eggs, only about quarter of an egg a
day, and the eggs had sold for 20 cents
a dozen, the income per farm would
have amounted to $3.50. At this rate
the 5000 farms in each county would
have produced S4S0,000. Based on these
figures, the state of Arkansas with her
IA counties, would have produced near
~ a 35.000,0 OO-dollar egg crop. This
sum is far in excess of the money Ar
kansas would have received as her
share of the federal loan and more
than half of the value of the annual
cotton crop.
This S35,000000 distributed among
the banks of Arkansas would have re-
Heved one of the most critical periods
in the economic history of the state.
The earning power of the hen exceeds
that of ali other farm animals-the
dairy cow not excepted.
Profit in Poultry.
Let us not overlook this opportunity.
Any farmer can have poultry. He can
make more clear profit out of poultry
than the commercial poultryman can
make.
First, the care of poultry fits we'll into
the other farm work; the investment is
small; feed is cheap; the chickens con-

eELGIANs LEAVE HOLLAND.
Refugees Now Number Only $4,000
Instead Of 10OO, 600.

rCorrespondence Of Associated PresS.l
The Hague, Netherlands, May Is
The number of Belgian refugees In
Holland has declined from 100000
after the fall of Antwerp to about Co.
900, according to official information.
Belgians continue to arrive In Holland
from their native land, driven out by
the hard conditions of existence there,
but this accession apparently Is coun-
terbalanced by the outflow from Hol-
land-to France, Great Britain or the
United States.
OF the $1,000 still enjoying Dutch
hospitality $4,000 are now accommo-
dated in the four specially erected
refugee camps or wooden villages at
EIDE, lNunspeet, Gouda and Uden. The
others are living with private families.
Besides approximately 100000 or
s5,OOO,O 900 supplied to refugee Belgians
thru donations, the Dutch government
has contributed about $5,0OO.O0O. A
sum of 100000 has been voted for
the current year and, unless peace ar
rives meanwhile, another $l,O00,00o
probably will be granted. An offer or
reimbursement by the Belgian govern
ment has been declined.
Needy Belgans are free to enter the
refugee villages. If private families
maintain them, the burgomaster Is en-
powered to allow Is American cents
| a day for each adult. and cents for
each child. fs
The refugee CAMPS. each of which is
controlled by government commits
, sary, are well organized and equipped,
and have churches, schools, shops and
postoffices. The inhabitants receive
meat fish or fat daily. They are not
compelled to work, but a small wage is
offered as an inducement to do so: and
wooden houses are being constructed
which can be first used here and then.
after the war perhaps transferred in
sections to Belgium to serve as homes
there until the many ruined houses
can be rebuilt. This work is being
paid for largely out Of $4,000 raised
in Denmark, with the English Society
Of Friends lending cooperation.
Excellent arrangements have been
made for the education of Belgians.
Under the direction of Dutch Belgia
commission forty eight primary
schools already have been established
in various parts Of Holland. There are
240 classes and $500 scholars, with in
struction given by certificated Belgian
teachers Secondary schools have been
set up at The Hague, Amsterdam and
Middelburg. and an athenaeum at
Flushing is attended by 125 pupils.
There are technical schools for in
termed Belgian soldiers and for
refugees. who are taught mechanics.
shoemaking joinery and other trades.
Grants are made to all these educa-
tional institutions by the Dutch and
,Relpian governments.

would be possible to surprise the Ger

the necessities of life, which have been
going higher month by month since
last September and in fact since the

climb early last month, the news letter

other things says:
After many successive months OIL

Regarding business as whole the
