quested greatly 10 Increase their farm

ton.
The following statement regarding
the poultry needs Is taken from the
official agricultural program for 1918
issued recently by the United States
department OF agriculture:
Poultry production should be IN
creased greatly. especially In back
yards and on farms. where waste ma
terial IS available and the purchase OF
expensive grains and other material IS
not required.
Increased poultry production may
be attained most economically by early
Matching; by combining mother hens at
least ten days after the chicks are
Matched; by reducing losses on ac-
count OF rats. weasels and thieves. and
from cold. damp conditions; by thor
ough sanitation; by discouraging the
marketing OF early-hntched pullets as
broilers; by eliminating non-producIng
hens and keeping good layers through
NJ least two laying seasons: and By
