One solution for the poultry difficult
ties of Connecticut producers Is to go
out of business, and already practical
ly so per cent. of the poultry men of
the state have done so. This is not
the most profitable solution, according
! to a statement issued by the poultry
department of the Committee of Food
Supply, State Council of Defense, as
a result of the national conference of
the leading poultry men held recently
at Chicago. The statement of the poul-
try department is as follows:
at is not intended to urge any
farmer to engage in any enterprise
that will not be gainful for him and
helpful to his country. On both these
points the farmer is the judge from
whose decision there will be no appeal.
On the other hand, the Committee OF
Food Supply feels that it is perfectly
proper to invite your attention to the
unusual situation in which poultry men
today find themselves. Considering
prices, the labor question, and the
scarcity of feeds. we do not hesitate
, to say frankly that the outlook for
highly specialized commercial poultry
plants is not favorable. AS n matter
of fact, Il great many poultry men of
this class have already greatly reduced
operations or entirely abandoned their
business.
"Of course, every one knows that we
import by far the largest part of the
poultry products consumed in Con-
necticut. All the chicken men in the
state have not been able to produce
enough TO supply any two of our larger
/ cities. We happen to know one mer-
chant in New Haven who is buying
| hennery eggs as far south as Delaware
and as far west as Indiana.
"All this simply means that there
is no better poultry market anywhere.
Not only this, but Connecticut's splen-
did reputation and prestige in the mat
ter of breeding stock ought TO be pre-
served. Have you considered the fact
that hen on range on the farm can
be carried u year on fifty or sixty
pounds of feed as compared with
eighty to ninety pounds that the spe-
cialized poultry man has to buy? Do
you know that poultry men paid last
winter as high as $50 or ton of
mangel beets that you can grow this
summer on one-twentieth of an acre?
Do you realize that 100 hens on each
of 10000 farms would more than dou-
BILE the present poultry population of
the state? Do you not agree that
utilization of waste and refuse from
the dairy, the barns, the orchard, the
garden, and the grain field makes 1t
possible to keep 100 hens with very
little cash outlay for feed? Think 1t
over. There is still time to hatch an
other lot of chicks"

MITTEE OF FOOD SUPPLY.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER a., 1918
SERVING THEIR SENTENCES

Salt Lake Tribune: Ninety-three
members of the Industrial Workers
of the World, including big Bill"
Haywood, Vincent St. John and some
others more or less known through
out the country, have been taken to
the Federal penitentiary to serve the
sentences imposed upon them by
Judge Lands, efforts to obtain bail
or delay the execution of the law
having been abandoned, probably on
account of the dynamiting of the
Federal building at Chicago, which
is supposed to have been the work of
l.. w. w. members still at liberty or
under arrest as suspects.
Great indignation over this latest
diabolical crime has been aroused
all over the country, and there is a
loud demand for the punishment Of
the cowardly villains who exploded
the bomb and thereby caused the
death of four unsuspecting victims,
besides injuring scores of others.
Naturally enough, Haywood and
the other leaders under sentence at
once OWNED that their followers
would be suspected of the crime,
and, after expressing their belief
that some other criminal did it, gave
up the fight to secure even temper
airy liberty and made preparations
for their trip to Leavenworth, where
it is to be hoped they will not only
drop out of public sight, but be OBJ
liberated from the memory of man
as well.
As for the man or men who dyna-
mited the Federal building at Chica-
go, there are no two opinions. If
caught and convicted death will be
the penalty, without doubt. for the
crime resulted in wholesale murder
and there are no extenuating circum-
stances. We hope the heavy hand
of the law will be felt in this case,
as it has been felt in the last of Hay
wood.

RECONCILIATION IS THE ANSWER
M. H. Joseph Says Action on Silver
Would Solve Gold Problem

W00l0 o0AVO \1Ol0 HOOh0nA
M. H. Joseph. a former Eureka
resident and still owner of several
good mining claims on Prospect
mountain in this district. has the fol-
lowing communication in a recent is
sue of the Spokesman Review:
To the Editor of the Spokesman
Review: At the meeting held in Re-
public to discuss the question of how
the production of gold may be in
creased. l have not given the ques-
ton much thought. l afterwards
noticed around town displays of
posters calling attention to the sub
ject in which the questions are asked:
What sort Of practical government
aid would be most likely to stimulate
the production of gold in the short
est possible time? What are the
handicaps that have prevented or
are preventing the mining, milling
and shipping of gold bearing ores p
Before having given the subject
due consideration, I jumped at the
conclusion that only a reduction in
the costs of labor and supplies would
bring about an increase in the pro-
duction of gold, but 1 have concluded
that during the prosecution Of the
present war in Europe, the prices OF
labor and supplies will not be de-
creased and will therefore not be In
centive to an increased production of
gold.
Gold is mostly found associated
with other metals-principally with
silver. Silver was formerly identi-
fed as a money metal in the United
States, until in 1873. In 1872 it was
quoted at $1.32 an ounce and had a
standard assay value of $1.2929 an
ounce. In 1878 it was demonitized
in the United States and, having
thereby been reduced to merchant
able commodity, it deprecated in
value until the price of it was re-
duced to less than so cents an ounce.
The result was discouraging to all
classes Of silver miners, and silver
mining camps soon hattened down
until many of them were practically
deserted. The tendency of the de-
m%onitization of silver was therefore
to diminish the production Of gold.
The decentralization of silver re-
mains a handicap to the production
of gold.
The question of what sort of prac-
ticaI government aid would be most
likely to stimulate the production of
gold is hereby answered. Should
silver be %remonitized in the United
States, other nations would follow
the example. when hundreds Of gold
silver mining camps, which have
been many years idle, would resume
their former activity, when a visible
increase in the production of gold
would assuredly and quickly follow.
