Relief Work McnaCcd
THERE

THERE is one probability connected with
the severance of diplomatic relations with
Germany which will cause bitter grief and
disappointment throughout America that is
the enforced interruption OF the work of
the American Commission for Relief in
Belgium.
That noble enterprise which Herbert C.
Hoover has conducted with such notable sue
cess. has saved the lives Of tens OF thousands
of Belgian men women and children. Its
energies have carried into devastated land
whatever light has been displayed 1t has
been as remarkable for intelligence and eff
flciency for unselishncss OF purpose and
for the sclfsaCrifcmg spirit OF those who have
given themselves to its cause.
1t is dreadful thought that this work
should cease and Belgians be left to the UNI
restrained frightfulness OF their conquerors.

A Mans Notion OF How the Rooms and

1t made him uncomfortable all day
long to think of his wife giving herself
this wholly unnecessary trouble.
"Of course. man likes to see his

sang the songs, and it gives a room

to look as if they were touched and

HIGH EGG PRICES
NOT UNREASONABLE
Advance In Cost OF whole
Grain Must Be Met.
MASH MIXTURES CHEAPEST
eouI+rvnen OF the State Must Meet
Changed Conditions.

College -erR Sd., June 2l.-Al' |
though egg prices are nearly douole .
what they were year ago, the cos'
of grain feeds has advanced even more
ard poultrymen are facing failure un'
less cheaper feeds can be made use OF.
Poultryman Roy H, Waite OF Tie
MARYLAND Agricultural Experiment STA
ZION in a circular to the poultrykeep'
ers of the State, calls attention to the
change In price levels and urges the
adoption Of mash feeding. Mr.. Waite
says:
I'm June, 1914, eggs were 19 cents
dozen, according to the quotations OF
q Baltimore commission man. In June,
1917. they were quoted at So cents
dozen, an advance Of so per cent since
the war began.
This is the part the consumer sees
and he is all too prone to judge thaI
he is being held up by the poultry rals'
ers. packers, or niddlemen. He does
not come in contact with the increased
cost Of feed.
"rn June. 1914, a Baltimore whole
sale feed dealer quoted wheat at SLOT
per bushel In June. 1917, he quotes
wheat at 1910 per bushel. l52 per
cent. Increase. Long ago the poultry
raisers who keep books gave US the
use of whole wheat as feed for pou'-
try.
'fIn June, 1914, corn was quoted at
SO cents a bushel. In June, 1917, 1t is
quoted at s1.91 bushel, ia per cent
advance. Where does the poultry
raiser get his profit with his 80 per
cent. increase in the price Of eggs!
There is only one thing for him to do
He cannot boost the price of eggs,
| and he cannot bring down the price OF
corn and wheat; the only thing he can
| do is to substitute a cheaper ration, II
| he can find one. Just at present there
seems to be an avenue of escape from
the excessive high cost Of feeds in the
use of mill by-products.
Bran, in June. 1914, sold at $1.4o
per bushe1. In June. 1917. It is quoted
at $2.15, an advance Of 81 per cent
Middlings, in June. 1914, were quoted
at s1.4s. In June, 1917, they are
quoted at 81. AZ, an advance of IS per
cent These two products are the best
part Of the wheat for feeding purposes,
and by making extensive use OF them
poultrymen can replace their wheat
and still get feed that will help bring
down their total cost somewhere near
a place where they can make normal
profit
Meat scrap, q poultry feed which
in normal times is much the most ex'
pensive, has only advanced about 40
per cent II one will combine BRAN
middlings, and beef scrap into mash
and feed it literally, along with corn
az a scratch feed, he will get ration
that hes advanced about IS per cent
since 1914, or approximately the same
advance as eggs"
