END CT SUNDAY COMICS.
Their Existence in Present Form Likely
tc Cca-e Before Long

Thomas f. Donnelley, chief of the
pulp and paper section of the war in
dustrics board, believes that the climina-
ton of the coloFed comic section of
Sunday papers, or at least its reduc-
ton to tabloid size, will be the next
important step in newsprint conserva-
tion, but he has no intention of TAX
ing the initiative in such an order.
"'There is very strong criticism of
the continued publication of the comic
sections from all parts of the coun-
try" said Mr.. Donnelley. I" 1t comes
from newspapers everywhere, and we
are being urged to ban them or pro
hibit their publication in other than
tabloid form.
. 1t is up to the papers TO determine
what shall be done. We do not I'M
dertakc to tell the paper how they
shall use their paper We are con.
eerned simply with a necessary reduc-
ton in the amount of paper used, and
we have put out regulations which We
hope will bring about a substantial
economy.

WHY EGGS WILL BE
HIGH THIS WINTER
Reasons Stated by Agricultural Exten-
sion Service-Those Who Can Are
Urged to Keep Few Hens.

Last year up to May | eggs were put
into storage at a cost ranging from 81
cents to 81 cents per dozen; this season
the cost ranged from 35 to 40 cents.
This means that the egg operators will
push up the price of storage eggs so
they can make a profit which, in turn
will advance the price of fresh eggs.
There i certain disadvantage in this.
owing to the fact that extremely high
prices for fresh eggs greatly limits con-
sumption because the public turns to-
wards substitutes.
Another reason for the high priced
fresh product is that the government has
put a limit on the amount of profit the
egg operator can make on each dozen;
and as soon as conditions arrive at which
he can unload and make this restricted
profit, the better for him.
For this reason eggs have been moving
from cold storage month earlier than
usual and in larger quantities, which will
mean greatly depleted cold storage stocks
and a greater dependence on the fresh
product this fall and winter when pro.
duction is at its lowest point.
This affects every man, woman and
child in Vermont and it should influence
those who can to keep few hens il
their own backwards and avoid these
high prices.
| If more information is desired about
starting into the poultry business, write
/ to the county agent or the agricultural
extension service of the University OF
Vermont and state agricultural college.
