Profits in Poultry

Because of the few figures available
on profits in poultry for Pennsylvania,
data on this subject is in demand. 1t
was with the idea of discovering actual
poultry profits from farms in the state
that II. c. Knandel, in charge of poul-
try expansion at the Pennsylvania
State College. recently secured records
from So farms representing "a coun-
ties. These records were divided into
FIVE groups or classes. The first class
includes farmers reporting 100 laying
hens or less; the second class. those
reporting 100 or zoo hens; the third
class. 200 to 500; the fourth class,
500 to LOO. and the fifth class, LOO
to 1000.
For the first group the average an
nual profit per bird was s1.1T; for the
second group, S1.54; for the third
group, $40; for the fourth, s1.67,
and for the fifth, So cents. Group
three, therefore, showed the highest
annual profit per bird. The farms re-
porting in this group were general
farms, on which two to five hundred
head of poultry are kept, while in
group four, where the profit was
nearly as much per bird. the farmers
were specializing in poultry. In other
words, where poultry was kept only
as side line profits were larger than
in the case of group four, where poul-
try was the cash crop"
The survey vindicates the original
opinion of those who took it, that is.
that from 200 to 500 birds is the most
profitable number to keep on general
farms in Pennsylvania. Experience
contributes to the judgment of the
college authorities that unless ade-
quate help is available the number of
poultry kept should be reduced to in
sure maximum profits.
The figures given represent a good
average, coming as they do from gen.
eral and specialized poultry farms.

COMBINATION IS
CAUSE OF ARREST
CounterfeiterS i'll Jail Be-
cause Woman's Tongue
Wagged Too Freely

The slip of woman's tongue, it was
learned to-day. was responsible for the
rounding up of the Ferry -Hornberger-
Balmer band of counterfeiters.
The tip leading to the constant
shadowing of Alvin NJ. Hornberger,
the man who made" the money in
the South Cameron street garage, was
obtained following Joy ride" from
Reading to Harrisburg in which wife
of one of the counterfeiters was a
party. Whether it was Mrs. Horn
berger or Mrs. Balmer. or either, the
detectives have not said. That 1t was
not Mrs Joseph d. Ferry. wife of the
local garage man, is conceded. She
has not been living with her husband
for four years.
Bit Too Hilarious
While in a state of hilarity, superin-
duced by n bit too much wine, the
counterfeiter's wife is said to have
contided to a friend in local drink
ing room that she knew where lots of
counterfeit money was stored.
Captain Matthew ]. Griffin. head of
the United States Secret Service in
Philadelphia, who, with other govern
ment officials, ran down the case, de-
clared that but for this tip the Fed
eral authorities would have discon-
tinued their investigation. They had
been following Hornberger from the
time of his acquittal in Philadelphia
and they had never been able to get
anything on him.
Apparently he was treading the
straight and narrow path and he was
acting as auctioneer and working in
store. The authorities were about
to throw up the game when, during a
visit to Harrisburg in connection with
his shadowing of the Reading man.
the information which had been given
out by the woman was carried TO Cap
tain Griffin.
Hornbcrger Under Fire
The captain went to Reading and
consulted Detective McGovern. and
from that time on Hornberger never
made move that was unknown to the
detectives. AS many as a dozen
sleuths were on his trail at a time and
his house was visited often by agents
who were in reality government op-
eratives. Finally Hornberger is alleged
to have confessed and to have fur
nished the government with evidence.
Hornberger is secretary of the Berks
County Democratic Association. which
recently endorsed a candidate for post
master at Mohnton.
Mrs. Hornberger, wife of one of the
prisoners, is i'll at her home here as
a result of the exposures following her
husbands arrest
The center of the interest in the
operations of the alleged counterfeit
ers has shifted to Mohnton, Horn.
berger's home town. Several persons
there are now under surveillance. 1t
Is alleged that considerable counter
felt money has been passed in that
vicinity recently.
The hearing of Hornberger and
Ferry will be held Monday afternoon
before United States Commissioner
Leroy J. Wolfe.

HOWE PICTURES
ARE INTERESTING
Science, Humor, Travel and the
Unusual Combined in En-
cellent Program

The showing of Lyman Howe's pic
lures is usually a signal for n good
house and yesterday proved to be no
exception to the rule. The principal
feature of the attraction is the Sir
Douglass Mawson Anarctic EXpedi-
tion pictures. and wonderfully worthy
pictures they are. These pictures
were made during n twenty-seven
months expedition in the southern
regions through which a new land
twice the size of our own country was
discovered. During the past winter
these pictures were shown in this city
on the occasion of Sir Douglas Nav
sons lecture on his trip. The scenic,
the picturesque, the scientific and the
humorous combine to make the Howe
pictures most interesting for both
young and old. Particularly of hu-
morous interest are the hand-drawn
cartoons which are interspersed
throughout the program. The Yose-
mite Valley and the automobile races
up Giants Despair at Wilkes Barre
share prominent places along side the
Mawson pictures in this new semi
annual program.

Loan Does Not Call
For Comfort Station
"IN" Market Square

1t is contended by those who favor
a public comfort station in the center
of Market Square that the loan ordi-
nance of 1913 provides that the pro-
posed public comfort facilities shall
be "in Market Square," and that the
mandate of the people has been
ignored.
But those who are opposed to the
proposition have been advised that
the loan ordinance setting apart S25.-
600 for a footwalk on Market Square
AND Public Comfort stations" says
nothing about IN Market Square.
The Lynch ordinance now pending
in Council authorizes the Superin-
tendent of Streets and Public Inn
provements to have prepared the
necessary plans and specifications
"for the construction of one or more
public comfort stations in the city of
Harrisburg and footwalk in Market
Square"
1t is the opinion of municipal OFF,
cials that there is no provision in
either ordinances for n public COM
fort station IN Market Square.

Ignorance of Timber Values
Causes Big Woodlot Losses

1t is fact that the annual loss to
the farmers of the United States from
incautiousness in disposing OF their
timber runs into millions OF dollars.
In the main this loss is due to their
unfamiliarity with the timber business
and timber values. The following cases
cited by a member of the forestry staff
of the Pennsylvania State College
school of agriculture and experiment
station are only few of many on
record:
case 1. A PENNSYLVANIA farmer was
offered 800 for his woodlot.. The offer
was refused. Some months later an
other buyer offered him $1,000. The
owner decided to hold his timber In
a few months a third buyer offered
s1.700. The last figure was fair offer
for the timber.
Case 2. A Maryland owner was Of
fered $1,000. The timber was esti-
mated and advertised, restrictions be-
ing placed on the cutting of young
timber. The buyer who made the first
approach offered $4,000. The timber
was finally sold for $500.
Case 8. A New England farmer sold
timber for $1,000. His neighbor sold
approximately the same quantity of
equally valuable material to the same
portable Sawmill owner for $1,000.
The first man knew nothing about tim
per values; the second man was well
informed.
Comment appears unnecessary ex-
cept to say that the conclusion should
not be drawn that all woodlot owners
are taken advantage of to a material
extent by the sawmill owners with
whom they deal. The buyer can
hardly be censured for desiring to buy
cheaply as possible. The woodlot
owner himself buys likewise. Greater
attention to the woodlot means more
money for the owner.
