Citizens Committee
 To Settle Disputes of
 Matters and Employers

Danbury, July s-Mayor Anthony Sunderland announced today his ap- pointment of citizens committee which is to make an effort to bring about a settlement of the existing difficulty in the hat manufacturing industry in this city. The members of the committee are Judge Eugene c. Dempsey, George C.. Banna. city clerk; William P. Guinan, business manager of the local lighting com pany. and J. Edgar Pike. a business man. By vote of the common coun- cil, which authorized the appoint ment of the committee. the mayor will also be a member of the commit tee.
 The manufacturers and matters are apparently at a complete deadlock over the question of whether the new wage scale shall be based upon the selling price of the finished hats, rather than upon grades of work, ott erwise designated.

AV6Fage E6IatIy6 Receipts Importance

IL taxes a very uCtle increase in production to make a decided in- crease in profits. On the average faHm it would not be at all impossible to increase the production eggs per hen per month with better care and management alone Taking the aver age number of hens per farm. 592. and allowing an average of 45 cents per dozen, which is a very conserva- tive price for the present year, 1t would mean an increase in receipts of $532. While this extra care would involve some little expense, the ex- pense would be very small compared to the return.
 Means of Improving Production
 Better stock. More careful breed ing from high producing stock will improve egg production, but 1t is a long time proposition. While careful breeding is always advisable, what we need now Is something that will pro- duce immediate results.
 Care and management. Better care and management will give increased production at any time of year. Care full feeding and the use of sour milk and green feed will increase preduc- ton without increasing feed cost.
 Cul1ing. Cu1ling out the non-pro- duc~-s is perhaps the most effective means of increasing the average flock production. Such culling can be- gin the latter part of June and con- tinue until the late fall when the highest producers will be automatic ally selected for bEeeders the coming year. In some cases laying hens are being marketed because of the high price of grain. This is a great eco homie loss and one that can be easily prevented if birds are carefully se- lected. For those not familiar with culiing low producers the Poultry De- partment stands reaoy to give demon stratiors wherever a few poultrymen are interested. Such demonstrations should reduce the feed bills without decreasing the egg yield.
 Whatever means is used, see to it that maximum egg production is maintained. The average poultry farm, cannot long endure without high egg

EGG PRODUCTION NOW CONTROLLING
 FARMING FACTOR

fi VI.
 A poultry farm infringement survey has been taken on AZ representative poultry farms in Connecticut. The object of this survey is to make a complete study of the business on each farm. and by tabulating the re- suits deternine the controlling fac- tors which mean profit or loss.
 While no new or startling facts have been discovered. some well known truths have been brought out in a way worthy of consideration.
 Poultry Farming Is Profitable.
 The average labor income, that is, the amount credited to the operator, s labor after paying all expenses includ- ing taxes and per cent interest on the investment. was $752. The range was from better than $2.000 down to $500 minus. This represents a fairly good income in most cases when it is considered that house rent, milk, vegetables, etc, are all includ- ed.
 Egg Production
 Egg production Is the barometer of success in poultry farming. Where egg production is low the labor in come Is either very low or minus. A hen must lay a reasonable number of eggs in order to payfa profit as shown by the following table: Relation Of Egg Production, Per Hen
 f0 TsaT,os. Tr,cnvrpe
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-07-09

The actual range or pro0uctlon was from 54 eggs up to. 160 eggs. Very few poulfrymen would believe that their hens are laying less than 100 eggs each per year, yet the average on all farms was 97. The average number of hens on all farms was 592.
 Market Eggs
 A hen must not only produce a large nnmber of eggs, but they must be- we'll distributed throughout the year in order to get the benefit of high winter egg prices. Whie some of the farms studied made a handsome profit from selling breeding stock, matching eggs and chicks, the market eggs are by far the most important consideration as shown by the follow ing summary of receipts:

The Pacific Telephone 6 Telegraph
company has filed with the Public
Service Commission a new schedule of
rates. 1t is prepared on the block
system which is said to be in general
use in the east and under it service
is charged for according to distance
in an air line, regardless Of the actual
length of the line used. Practically
it is the zone system with each place
its own center for charge making pur-
poses. The system is an elaborate one
and requires a large volume to contain
it. Under the new schedule rates are
reduced on So per cent of all points
covered, while % per cent are un-
