A Letter of Encouragement to Those
Who Keep Poultry

A recent letter from the department OF
agriculture at Washington reports that
the movement of eggs from cold stor-
age began month earlier than usual.
This Is due to the fact that the food
administration has ruled that the profits
on cold storage eggs shall be limited,
the selling price not to exceed what IS
fixed as a reasonable percentage on the
cost of the eggs and the cost OF carry
ing them Thus the tendency will be Tor
eggs to 60 out of storage as fast as the
consumptive trade viii take care of them
when prices have reached that level.
There will be no inducement to egg OPP
orators to hold their eggs for a higher
price. because they are allowed only a
stated profit and as soon as prices reach
that height, where they can unload at
this profit, il win be matter OF business
for them to sell
This accounts to a certain extent for
the earlier movement of eggs from cold
storage and will probably leave the mar
kets bare Of eggs, except fresh eggs, for
much longer period than at any time
in recent years. Naturally, this means
higher prices for the fresh eggs Such
prospect should be special incentive
to every egg producer to work faithfully
for good production in the fall and early
winter. High prices for eggs are only an
aggravation to the poultrymen when
they are getting very small per cent Of
production.
The aim should be to keep only the
producers. The drones are easily dis
tainguished; why keep themg The art
of culling is easily learned and costs you
nothing but the time. If you are inter
ested, write to your county agent, or to
the extension service of the University
Of Vermont, and they will notify you
when and where a calling demonstration
will be held in your neighborhood.

London, England, Sept. 20.--Ameri-
can soldiers in France are DESERVING!
Don't be alarmed-this startling as
sertion need cause no uneasiness on
the home front The Westminster Ga
zette editorially explains the deser-
tons as follows: 10
THE admission that General Per
shing has already been much worried
by assertions from American units Is
startling, if we take it at it's face
value. But there need be no uneasi-
ness.
THE assertions have been mainly
from engineering and other pioneer
branches. and when they became mum.
erous enough to compel an investiga-
ton It was discovered that most of
the 'deserters' had made their way in.
to the lighting line, which they found
more to their taste than the positions
in the rear where they were doing In
valuable bu less congenial work.
'"They are not to be cOurtmartialed,
but. instead q regulation has been
framed to meet the case which, PROB.
ably, has had no precedent in any
period. In order that work behind the
lines may not suffer- the men engaged
Upon it are to be given regular turns
at the front so that there may be no
inducement to them to ueser' to get
there. There is something very Amer.
can-and very creditable-about the
whole aggair."
