Control of Exports.
Manchester, y. H. Union.


The federal export council, newly
created under the espionage act and
consisting of Secretary of State Lans
ing, Secretary Of Agriculture Hous
ton. Secretary of Commerce Redfcld
and Herbert c. Hoover, the food al
mmiStrator. has shown commendable
Promptness in orgauizinz and getting to

airy embargo on exports is a wise one.
and the personnel of the board has
been logically and shrcwdlv chosen. For
years. at irregular intervals, the Amer
lean people have complained bitterly of
.cXtortiouatc prices placed on certain
varieties of food-prices entirely out of
proportion to those received by the
producers, and not infrequcntlv in the
face of bumper crops. For wears. at
similar intervals. the suavc reply from
inner circles has been that tremendous
export demand initiated against lower
price levels ut home. When it was dis
covered that these same foods were
selling at lower prices abroad than in
the United States, proposals for a duty
on exports were met with the obvious
re ioinder that they were in specific con
travention of the constitution-and

Then came the Imperative necessity

export control system is one of the
answers. We have President Wilson s

HATCH EARLY IF YOU ARE
WANTING WINTER LAYERS

4 high water mark has been
reached this winter in price of poultry
products, especially eggs. This phe-
nomenal price has caused hundreds of
poultrymen to put forth an extra effort
to increase their egg production. In
the majority of cases this effort has
not brought the desired result, and
here is the big reason-the pullets
being forced did not have the maturity
and age necessary for winter laying.
Their feed, care and housing may
have been above question, but their
handicap of being Matched late could
not be. overcome.
The spring is the normal season of
the year for hens to lay, and if they
lay literally. then they cannot be
forced to heavy production in the
winter The fall and winter in ma
lures natural resting period. For
this reason world breaking records
can never be expected from yearling
hens.

force in producing winter eggs. AS
in the case of the hen, however, win
ter laying is not natural. and their
tendency toward spring laying must
be offset by Matching them early
enough to reach the degree of
growth and maturity necessary for
egg production in the fall. Pullets
that have not sufficient development
to begin laying before the severe win
ter weather starts will almost invari-
ably not lay before February or
March.
Many of the puzzling problems that
confronted the poultrymen this win
ter will be avoided next year if the
Matching is done three weeks to a
month earlier. 1t should be remem-
bered that the time of the year the
eggs are laid is far more important
than the number laid.-C. S. Ander-
son. Colorado Agricultural College.
