The African. gray goose with a

Of the Embden, is a good layer and

natures early.
There are two standard varieties
Of Chinese geese, the Brown and the
White. Both varieties mature early
and are said to be prolific layers and
rapid growers. but shy and rather diff.
1cult to handle.
The wild goose is bred to some ex-
tent In captivity, and the young are
sold to hunters to use as decoys. The
wild gander is used to cross with
either the common or the purebred
goose, producing the so-called Mongrel
goose. This Mongrel goose is highly
priced as a market goose, but Is sterile
and cannot breed.
The Egyptian goose is q small,
brightly colored goose, kept for orna-
mental purposes and rarely seen in
this country. It resembles the wild
goose In shape and weighs two pounds
less In each class.

INCREASE IN POULTRY URGED
Poor Policy for Novices to Begin or
Large scaIe-Quite Likely to
Lead to Failure.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
It should be borne in mind that an
increase IL poultry production is sought
not for this year alone, but for the en-
tire duration Of the war. It is not
urged that novices without expert
ence engage in poultry keeping on
large scale. That is recognized as q
poor policy at any time and is more
likely to lead to failure and eventual
decrease than to a steady and perma-
nent Increase in production. What is
urged is that those who are already
poultry growers to some extent and
possess the information and ability
necessary successfully to increase their
stock and production should do so.

FRENCH CHEFS GIVE DUR
 CAMP COOKS POINTERS

PARIS, May 8. - At last a French correspondent has found a weak spot in the American Expedti tionary Force. The man who has ventured to strike this first discordant note is the spe- cial representative of Le Temps at the French front who happened to be near the American section which had the first real fight with the enemy and so paid them a visit. He writes:
 There are certain practical points in which our allies are not yet past masters, notably cooking. At first scorning their own stews they pre- ferred to stick to canned meat entire ly Our cooks showed them how to make soup and they soon acquired a taste for it. It won't be long before they will be making some good stuff themselves, better any way than the extraordinary mixtures I saw them eating this evening, like canned sal mon with mashed potatoes and pick. led cucumbers"

WILL INCREASE: OUTPUT COTTON
 IN THE FUTURE

NEW YORK, May B. - There is no power in Russia, which in the ab- sence of foreign aid, has the least chance of over-throwing the Soviet or Bolsheviki, government declared Professor E. A. Ross, of the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, in report which he has just made to the American In stitute of Social Service The Insti- ute sent Professor Ross to Russia last year to study social conditions in that country and to try to establish relations between Russion and Ameri- can social institutions.
 "The Cnssacks have ceased to ex. ist and the bourgeoisie are impotent to do anything for themselves" wrote Professor Ross. "The estates, no doubt, have been divided among the peasant communes and nothing but foreign conquest can tear them from the mOujiks.
 With the masses so ignorant and inexpert in organization, and the state cOrroded with the graft and in- efficiency inherited from the old re- gime, one cannot imagine public ca, pitalism succeeding in Russia. Such an experiment should be tried only by a more developed people. If low productivity and waste cause the things produced by the factories to be very scarce and dear, the dis. gusted peasants may in time lose faith in the Trotzky-Lenine program and throw their support to a party that believes in private capital and individual enterprise.
 Russia will never be able to free herself from mass poverty, unrest and explosion til she adopts, with ample safeguards of course, the system of individual property in the soil.
 T am often asked the question whether Lenine and Trotzky are not agents of Germany. 1 have no means of knowing, but I found no one who in private conversation avowed' such a belief. The bourgeois newspapers were full of such charges but the in itiated paid no attention to them. Let me observe, furthermore, that these leaders are responsible for everything they do to a delegate body of 25O genuine Russians and if they have sold out their country these Russians have been unable to per ceiye the fact"

POLISH LADORERs TREATED

ZURICH, May 8. - According to the Le!pziger Nolkestimme, Germany, durlhg the past three years having drained the labor resources of Poland almos, to the point of complete ex- hauston, is now turning her atten- tion to the occupied territories of Russia whence German troops have already begun to transport men to Germany. The Germans also hoped to obtain skilled workers from the densely populated Ukraine.
 Polish laborers on estates in Sax ony are treated like modern slaves, their wages are extremely low which tends to keep down the rate of pay for farm work and to increase the war profit of agrarians.

The recent YARN weather has caused
the ice in the Black berry River to
break up and in many places il has
jammed to such an extent that both
the Whiting and Blackberry rivers are
overlooking their hanks, with the re-
sult that the state highway between
East Canaan and Norfolk is almost
impossible to automobiles The water
surrounds some of the houses in that
section and in the road where it is
partly frozen, it is dangerous travel

The flood was followed by a decided
drop in the temperature and dynamite
had to be used to cut hole through
the blockade to allow the water to run
off Contractor M, T. Snow has had a
force of men engaged in blasting the
ice ia the lowlands for the past few
days.
In district aumber 3, the Ice jammed
near one of the small bridges and the
roads and meadows are flooded to a
greater extent than for number of
years past. During the past week the
waters of the Blackberry reached the
floor of the Church street bridge, while
small out heuses were said to be float
