INFLUENZA REDUCES .b|TUM|N0US COAL OUTPUT FOR WEEK Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama Show From 15 to
 50 Per Cent of Normal
 Tonnage

Washington. October 14-spanish in fluenza during the past week material ly reduced the production of bituminous coal in southern and eastern fields, and in some instances. reports today to the fuel administration showed. mines were shut down because of the epidemic.
 In Tennessee. Kentucky and Alabama tho weeks tonnage ranged from 15 to 60 per cent of normal.
 Reports from Altoona said that in the bituminous district of central Pennsyl- vania production fell off 10000 tons, or more than per cent of it's maximum output.
 The most serious reduction was in the umberland-Piedmont districts of Mary land, Virginia and West Virginia, where some small mines were closed and larger ones operated on half time. Production in this region was estimated at 50 per cent below the weekly average.
 For the week ending October 5, how ever. increased production was shown over the corresponding week last year, and this, in measure. offset the loss resulting later from influenza.

PROFITABLE HENS
SHOULD BE RETAINED


A large number Of Louisiana Ear
mers were unable to commence their
Matching early enough to procure the
desired number of chicks within the
regular Matching period, according to
John L. Prehn, Extension Poultry
Husbandman,. u. s. Department Of Ag-
riculture. cooperating with L. s. U.
1t Is therefore advisable. says Mr..
PREM, TO make up for this shortage
by retaining all profitable hens under
two years old. 1t is essential to Gull
out the drones or slackers among the
hens, but hold and care for the Likely
layers. Records show that the plans
for the 1918 Matching season would
use about 10 per cent less eggs for
thu purpose than in 1917. Added to
this we have the fact that most of the
commercial hatcheries of the country
were unable to carry out their plans
through inability to make shipments
because of express congestion, etc. II
3 therefore evident that this years
production will be considerably below
normal: and this in the face of greater
requirements assures good price for
poultry during the fall and winter
months.
On March Is there was in this coun-
try about 20 per cent less poultry
than at the same time last year. The
Government is urging that every farm
in the country carry as many hens AZ
can be conveniently handled. so those
farmers who must dispose OF profitable
hens during the coming summer
should sell to other farmers who can
care for them. The only poultry thar
patriotic and thrifty farmer would
sell for market during the next six
months are old ROSTERS, no longer re-
quired for breeding purposes; surplus
young ROSTERS. as fryers and SOFT
roasters, and hens which can not pos
sibly be made to do their bit In the
way of laying eggs---J. L. Prehn. Ex
