ASK EXEMPTION FOR
 THE REAL FARMER.
Food Supply Committee of State Coun- ell of Defense Makes Recommends . tions.

The committee on food supply of the state council of defense made recon : mendations in regard to exemptions for agricultural labor. They ask that three classes receive consideration in this connection:
 Ffrst-Men with a technical educa- tion capable of supervising agricul- tural projects. including boys farm labor camps, and managers of farms conducted on commercial basis. This would include county agricultural agents, supervisors, etc.
 Second-Trained dairymen and but pasteurizing, bottling and the care of milk in generaD and herdsmen having knowledge of feeding.
 Third-"One- man" farmers. Men who are working their own farms with out regular help and whose land and equipment would remain idle if they were removed.
 This action was taken by the com mittee of food supply in response to requests from w. J. Spillman. chief of the office of farm management United States department of agriculture, and from Herbert Knox Smith, chairman of the committee on man power and labor of the state council for defense.
 The department of farm management, which is handling the question of farm labor during the present crisis, has been called upon to make recommend ations to the war department in regard to exemptions of agricultural workers. and in order to do so inteiligently is asking the cooperation of the commit tees on food supply in the various states.
 The granges of the state are being called upon to assist in the state wide campaign to eliminate the non-pro- ducing hens of the state. In a letter from the headquarters of the Connecti- cut state ma ster of the grange Charles T. Davis, the following appeal was made:
 A campaign has been launched to eliminate productive hens. It is stated by the poultry department of the Connecticut Agricultural college that there are at least half a million hens in Connecticut that have stopped producing for the season. These hens should be killed. They are consuming at least 50.000 bushels of grain per month, which is truly wasted as though thrown away. If killed it would two million pounds of food to our sup ply. If killed, the expense of poultry keepers will be reduced and the profits correspondingly increased.
 Everyone in the state may know how these unproductive hens may be select ed from the layers. Every member of the poultry department of the Connec- ticut Agricultural college has agreed to devote his time up to the first of Octo- Der, to demonstrate how the poor lay CTS and the non layers may be select ed. This appears to me an especially opportune time to make the seIective demonstration a part of the grange program for three reasons:
 First-The demonstrators are avail able
 Second-Abnormal prices of grain make it necessary to economize in feeding as much as possible.
 Third-Bv utilizing the meat and saving grain we are performing a di- rectly patriotic service.
 Oranges wishing to make a selective demonstration a part of their program should make arrangements with their county farm bureau or local town di- rector

MADE CLEANUP IN
 THE sTORRs CONTEST
Windsweep Farms Pen Were Easy
 First With 59 Eggs.

| Storrs Conn, July 19.-Cool cloudy weather seems to just suit the Leg horsn, for they made another clean up in the thirTq seventh week of the | laying contest at Storrs. Windsweep l Farms pen from Bedding Ridge, Conn.,, were an easy first with a yield of fifty nine eggs A. P Robinson's pen from Calverton, N. Y, was second with production of f1fty-five eggs. F. M. Peasley's pen from Cheshire. Connec- ticut, was a close third with fifty-four, while A. B. Hall, Wallingford Con- necticut and Will Barron, Bartle, Eng land, tied for fourth place with fifty three eggs each. Three Connecticut pens, one from Pennsylvania, and one from Vermont, efi Leghorns tied for next place with fifty-two eggs each. In ether words the Leghorns got away with the fist ten places. The total yield for all pens amounted to 3,904, or about forty eggs better than for Ia st week and also forty eggs better than for the cores bonding week last year. Six individuals, including White Wy andottes, Rhode Islands Reds. Orp- ingtons and Leghorns, laid over size eggs during the week. The perform ance of Dhode Island Red, No. 3S9 from Southport Connecticut, was much more unusual than any of the others. This hen laid only three eggs duing the week but they were all very large. The were exactly equivalent by weight to f1v average size eggs. In other words if one could breed a family of hens that would lay eggs of this size he ought to get s5 cents a dozen for them when average eggs are sellin at 50 cents.
