WORTH A CROW;
HE HAS 5000 HENS

Irving A. Sherlock, Burbank,
Cal. began studying the poultry
business when he got his first few
chickens.
Now he has 5000 hens laying for
him. And he doesn't keep hen
that can't lay more than 100 eggs a
year. He has hundreds which
average three or four eggs a week
the year round.
All his chicken houses and yards
are on three acres. The rest Of his
land is used to grow feed for the
chickens.
From 1900 to 2o,0oo baby chicks
are bought each spring. and are
raised in brooder houses. each with
a capacity Of 2.5oo chicks.
Sherlock believes It better for
poultry raisers to buy their chicks
at the day-old stage, thus being re-
heved Of q lot Of Incubator wor-
ries.

D. c. RANKS SECOND
IN WAR STAMP SALES
Washingtonians Purchase a Little
Over 50 Per Capita.

The District OF Columbia ranks
second in per capita sales Of war
savings and thrift stamps. This
statement Is authorized by Director
D. ]. Callahan in order to correct a
statement issued by the statistical
division of the National War Saw
ings Committee. placing the District
in seventh place. This error was
made on account of the fact that the
sales of the war savings booth at
the Treasury were not included in
the report.
The Treasury booth alone, dur
ing the months of December, Janu-
ary and February, the months upon
which the report was made, sold
over 100000 in stamps. This con-
dition does not exist in any other
State in the country. and future re-
ports from the Treasury will con-
tain the sales of this booth, placing
the District in its proper place.
The total sales for this period, in
exact figures, including the city
postofice. the Treasury booth and
the Federal Reserve Bank sales,
were S1.110,26446. This is a little
over SO per capita, using as the pop
ulation of the District of Columbia
the figures given in arriving at the
total quota.
Following are the sales through
the three agencies. the city post
office, the Treasury booth and the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.
The Federal Reserve Bank figures
are the smallest on account of the
fact that this bank only furnishes
stamps to one or two local banks.
All other stamps are purchased
through the other two agencies.
These sales are for December,
January and February:

IN the case of some food sellers in Ok

II was pointed out that when an or
der is given, backed by the authority
the government has given Hoover, these
food sellers take pains TO obey When,
however, certain thing is requested
instead Of being made subject Of an or
der, the food sellers do n6t obey and
do not enter into the spirit Of food
conservation. Special posters will be
pasted in the show windows Of offend
ing merchants and the council Of de-
fense will see to it that these remain
until the merchant pledges to get into
