average daily egg production of the 1856 birds for the week previous to the demonstration was 213O. The average. daily egg production of the 4,419t birds, selected as layers, the week after the demonstration was 2,01S. In other words the elimination of 3,137 birds or decrease of 41.5 per cent. was followed by a total de- crease of only one hundred and twen- ty-two eggs or slightly over per cent.
 A total of 1,407 people attended these demonstrations and fanilarized themselves with the methods by which this selection was made. These peo- pie pledged themselves to "sort" their own focks and throw out the 1oafers. These pledges affect 54,339 birds. Even though not all these pledges are kept, beyond doubt this campaign will result in tho elimination of thousands of non-laying birds and thus increase the profits for their owners this year, to say nothing of the many bushels of valuable grain saved for better uses.

grass lands but also in corn fields and gardens. The eggs hatch in about two weeks and the young grubs feed up- on the roots of several plants. These grubs take two years to become full grown, burrowing from six to fifteen inches during the winter to avoid freezing. It Is during the second year of the grub stage that they do their greaterest damage. Later they form cells and come out as mature bettles, life cycle. Grubs of all stages may be found in the soil every year.
 Control-Where land has been al lowed to remain in grass for several years and then planted to some crop, it is usually there that the greatest damage is done by these insects. A frequent rotation of grass potatoes, buckwheat, small grains or some oth- CT crop results in much less injury.
 Fall poiughing Is a most important method of control, as this injures or crushes the immature insects and. ex- poses others to the weather.
 Swim, chickens, turkeys, crows and blackbirds will eat large numbers if they have the insects turned out for them by deep blowing and thorough narrowing. Fall p1lowing not only helps to control the white grub but aids in killing wire worms, cut worms and other destructive forms. It also distributes the farm work and is be- ing practiced by a great number of farmers each year.
