Food Administration
Is Trying to Prevent
Shortage of Poultry

The United States food administra-
ton has information that there is a
rumor among farmers in western Ten
nessee that the selling of eggs will be
prohibited after March 1. The food
administration is vitality interested in
seeing the egg and poultry business in
creased to the maximum, in order that
the industries may not be demoraftzed
as they are in the allied countries, where
poultry and eggs are limited almost to
hospitals, the invalids, and wounded.
The selling OF live hens has been re-
stricted until April 80. in order to pre-
vent rapid disintegration of the poultry
industry by the selling Of laying hens
In some parts OF the country a large
proportion Of the laying hens have al
ready been sold because of the high
price of liYe poultry. These hens should
be kept on the farm. They will lay
about thirty eggs each before May 1.
These eggs may be sold or set for
Matching. On and after May / the hens
may be sold as usual.
