EGG SHIPPING SEASON

The egg shipping season is at hand,
and the Thirteenth Street big dealers
in hen fruit had 4 busy time all OF

and pu!!ets during the spring laying
season gave an impetus to the egg
trade. The big shippers are finding
no difficulty in getting them to fill
their large orders from New York and
the New England States. One concern.
William l.. Gravins & Co.. loaded and
shipped eight cars last week. II takes
4 wonderful pile OF eggs to make eight
carloads, The probability is that this
concern will ship equally as many this
week.
The hen and pullet embargo has had
yet another effec, which the Thir-

also feels. II has greatly increased
the demand for frozen fowls. Many
people have had n prejudice against
the frozen bird. but they had to come

ONE CHANCE OF A Lifetime

There has been no such opportunity
in O half century us that which knocks
now at tho door OF the city family
which desires to settle permanently in
the country. and there are many such
in Richmond. Not only may employ
ment be secured at rcnunerative prices.
but Arrangements may be made for
land quite readily. either on long
time leases or on purchases on rea-
sonable terms. Further there has
never been a time when tho indus
irlous farmer was moro assured of
adequate and satisfactory return for
his work. Prices OF al! forms OF farm
products are at level which insures
good cash outturrs and there is little
reason TO believe That there will ever
again be period when farm products

growers were not properly organized

was not Il just one.
Government cooperation through the
farm loan banks will further assure
the farmer that II he once get sub

will not lose it by reason of the In
sistence or greed Of some mortgage

pnymcn, of tho war Tn1es,

The Chamber of Commerce and other
organizations OF several Middle West
cities and manufacturing centers arc
much interested in Il concerted move
mcnt urging Congress to provide an
arrangement whereby war taxes my
he paid In installments during the
present fiscal year. instead of the full
amount being called for June Is. This
action Is in support of Senator Pomc-

such plan. 1t Is pointed out that in
the absence OF such an extension most
of the large businesses Will be required
either TO take the money out of work

borrow from banks. Moreover. the

TO PREVENT A FAMINE IN FLOUR.

It is expected that the fIOur can-
vass now going on throughout Massa-
chusetts on the request Of Food Ad-
ministrator Henry B. Endicott, rep
resentative of the National Food Ad-
ministration, will show that there are
considerable quantities of -four stored
away by people who have no intention
of evading the regulations of the food
administration as to the amount they
are allowed to have.
The request calls on AL to state
how much over 80 pounds Of -four
they have in their homes, and If the
amount is considered too generous q
supply for any particular household
by the county and State food admin
istrators, arrangements will be made
for it's purchase and redistribution.
A member Of the food admiDistra-
ton said:
THE -four supply card issued by
the Food Administration is a step To
learn how much wheat flour is pri-
vately stored in the homes. House
holders are given the opportunity to
report on the flour supply card the

tons are stored away in cellars by I'M
patriotic householders who Danish any
consideration of the soldiers in their
greed to have their own desire salts

eminent action which will meet with
the approval OF all those who have
taken the time to study food condt-

that food is probably the foremost
