PROFITABLE HENS ..
SHOULD BE RETAINED
indications Point To Good Poultry
Prices Next Fail and Winter.

A large number Of Louisiana far>
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
Hssbandman, U. S. Department of Ag-
r:culture, cooperating with l. S. U.
II is therefore advisable, says Mr..
Prehn, 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
that 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
is therefore evident that this years
production will be considerably below
normal; and this in the face OF greater
requirements assures good price Tor
poultry during the fall and winter
months.
On March Is there wa IN this coun-
~ about 70 per cent less poultry
than n tho same time last year. The
Government Is urging that every farm
IN the country carry a. many hens AZ

farmers who must dispose Of profitable
hens during the coming sumner
should sell to other farmers who can
care for them. The only poultry that

sell for market during the next st1
months are old ROSTERS, no longer re.
ovired for bleeding purposes; surplus
Young ROSTERS, as fryers and hors

waters have been continually aug
mented. The efficient patrol main
tanned by the Allied naves, the policy
OF conveying ships, and the arming of
merchantmen have resulted in a
marked decrease in the number Of YES
sells sunk and o decided increase in the
destruction Of enemy U-boats.
Upon the navy devolved the task Of
organizing and operating the large
transport system required to carry our
troops overseas for European service.
Within month after the President
had announced that United States
troops would be sent to Europe the
first contingent had been organized
and all its units were safely landed in
France before the Fourth of July
These included force Of Marines un-
der Colonel (now Brigadier GeneraD
Charles A. Doyen. which is serving in
the army under General Pershing.
Since that time a constant stream of
troops and supplies has poured across
the Atlantic. In spite of attacks by
submarines, not a single American
transport has been sunk on the way to
France One, the Antilles, was sunk re-
turning. One, the Finland, was torpe-
doed, but reached port under her own
steam. The Tuscania was British
transport carrying American troops.
In spite of the difficult and danger
Gus service upon which they have been
engaged but two naval vessels have
been sunk by enemy U-boats-the de-
stroyer Jacob Jones, torpedoed Deem
Der 6, and the patrol vessel Alcedo, :.
converted yacht, sunk November s,
1917. The small destroyer Chauncey
was sunk in collision with British
transport. The Cassin was torpcdoed,
but reached port under her own steam.
was repaired, and returned to service.
The taking over of some 800 craft
OF various kinds and their conversion
into the types needed have provided US
with the large number of vessels re-
CURED for transports, patrol service,
submarine chasers, mine sweepers,
mine layers, tugs and other auxil-
iaries. The repair of the 100 informed
German .ships whose machinery had
been damaged by their crews added
more than 100000 tons to our avail
able naval and merchant tonnage and
provided for the navy number of
huge transports which have been III
service for nearly half a year. Hun
dreds Of submarine chasers have been
built and a number of destroyers and
other craft completed and put into
service. There are now four times as
many vessels in the naval service as
there were year ago.

NAVAL COMMUNICATION
SERVICE

TE~HE President ON April C, 1917, di-
4 rected the Navy Department to take
over. such radio stations as might be
required for naval communications, all
others being closed. The enforcement
Of this order fell to the director of
naval communications, and fifty-threc
commercial radio stations were taken
into the naval communication service
On account Of duplication, twenty light
commercial radio stations were closed.
Thousands Of small amateur radio sta
tons were closed. At present no radio
communication is permitted on United
States territory mot including Alaska)
except through stations operated by
this department or by the War De-
partment
Soon after the war opened the de-
mand for radio operators increased
and the representative of the naval
communication service in each district
began the conduct of a radio school for
preliminary training in radio teleg-
raphy. To coordinate training, a CEN
trail final training school was de-
manded.

works and public utilities Of the navy
establishment ashore. Public works in
clude buildings Of all kinds and their
roads. cranes, fire apparatus, vehicles,
draft animals, telephone and telegraph
systems and other services. This bu-
reau is not charged with the construc-
ton and repair of ships.
Since the declaration Of war train
ing camps have been provided, having
a capacity Of $4,000 men in winter and
100000 in summer. All camps in ~
calities requiring artificial heat have
been provided with central heating and
ventilation systems. Every facility for
rapid training has been furnished, and
especial attention given to sanitary
conditions. The cost of the buildings
and all improvements, excepting hos
pitfalls, has been approximately 1925 per
man, and the barracks have been pro-
vided as fast as needed.
Our entry into the war occaaioned
the taking over of hundreds of patrol
boats, fishing boats, yachts and mer-
chant vessels, all of which were pro
vided with equipment necessary to
enable them to serve as auxiliaries of
the feet; additional destroyers and
hundreds Of submarine chasers had to
be constructed; the battlcship fleet
always ready - required finishing
touches, and the reserve fleet had to
he put in service; the destroyers were
prepared for distant service, and the
repair ships that were to accompany
them were properly supplied with TINS
material necessary for keeping the de
stroyers in continuous service.

turned out by this factory was COM
pleted on March /. Additional ma
chimes will follow in rapidly increasing
numbers until about June /, when it is
expected to turn out at least one COM
plete machine q day.
The Navy Department had prepared
design for submarine chaser be-
fore the outbreak of the war.
1t was found that there was no pos
sibility Of obtaining steam power
plants for these boats in the large
numbers needed in the short space Of
time. An entirely satisfactory design
OF submarine chaser was prepared,
having length Of 10 feet and driven
by three 220-horsepower gasolcne en-
gines. Of these boats several hundred
were contracted for during the middle
Of April, 1917, and practically all of
these boats have been delivered.
The new patrol boats, named the
Eagle class, being built at the Ford
plant, arc to be considerably larger
than the submarine chasers, and will
correspond very closely to the earliest
destroycrs.
American battleships are the largest
which have yet been laid down by any
nation. The largest British battlcship
OF which We have knowledge displaces
27.50o tons; the largest German, 28,-
4da metric tons, or $4,000 Of our tons.
The largest Japanese displaces 10000
tons. These may be compared with our
Arizona and Pennsylvania, 31,40O
tons; Idaho, Mississippi, and New
Mexico, $4,000 tons; California and
Tennessee, $4,000 tons; Colorado,
Maryland, Washington, and West Viz
ginia, $4,000 tons. The six new battle
ships which have been authorized are
designed to be 41,bo0 tons.
Our new battle cruisers Of $4,000
tons and 35 knots will be the fastest
in the world, having a speed equal to
the latest and fastest destroyers.
They will also be the largest in the
world, with the sole exception of the
four British battle cruisers of the
Hood class, which are al 200 tons.

Guns, Zig Guns
And More Guns

T\HE service of the Bureau of Ord

clades supply guns and their control
equipment, together with powder and
projectiles, to all ships in the Navy.
II also provides, among other things,
armor plates for battleships, torpedoes
aud their launching apparatus, all our
naval mines, and the many new de-
vices that have been developed to com
bat the German submarine.
The work Of the past year has
largely dealt with an enormous OK
pansion along lines laid down prior to
the declaration of war. AS early as
1915 plans were drafted in prepare
tiQn for war. should it come. When
the PRESIDENT signed the declaration of
war, April 6, 1917, kilograms were dis
patched, setting in motion the nachin-
cry that had previously been prepared,
and during tho past twelve months the
work of the bureau has increased al
most 1900 per cent.
The burcau operates many ordnance
plants and factories. some Of which are
owned By the government, while others
have been reQuisitioned or are operated
under contract or on "cost plus per-
centage of profit" basis. Vast guam
sit:es oe material are also purchased
On contract.
Despite the huge increase in num-
Der Of guns supplied during the past
year and the restricted area and in
adequate facilities OF the naval prov
ing ground, the Bureau Of Ordnance
has continued to test every gun there
as we'll as to assign every powder
charge, test every lot of she'll, fuses,
| cartridge cases and armor plate and do
all ammunition experimental work.
In one plant taken over by the bu-
rcau, manufacturing steel forgings
the output was increased SOC per cent
within two months after government
managers were installed. H. another

| optical instruments, the previous out
] put was about 100 accepted pairs per
, with OVcI 10 per cent OF the DlnOCu-
lars made failed to pass inspection
tests. Under navy control the OUTPUT,
without the installation of new equip
mcnt or improved machinery, is now
nearing 1000 pairs per week Prac-
tically every pair made passes inspec.

The naval warfare Of the enemy has
