fixed rates for service. There is no doubt but that gas electric, trolley and similar public service concerns face serious trouble unless allowed, like others, to adjust themselves to the new conditions. In some cases, advances have already been allowed; but it is evident that the problem is diff cult one, owing to the unwillingness of the public to sanction higher rates when the cost of living is already so heavy burden.
 Improvement in war and crop out looks, serves to maintain a strong un- dertone in the stock market; the only offset being the tension in money, the pressure of Government securities, the precarious situation of public service securities and the effect of supertaxes upon industrfals, whose dividends may be curtained. The London market also showed considerable strength in sympathy with better war news, and this in spite of the tremendous pres sure of war debt, which severely taxes even Britain's gigantic powers of if nancial resistance. So far as the To- cal market is concerned, it shows much more disposition to respond to good news than to bad. To the latter it has displayed remarkable resistance, and little liquidation followed any AL lied reverses, as notably proved dur ing the German drives of March and May. All financial operations should, however, be conducted with strict con- servatism There are plenty of sound investments to be had at attractive prices; but these are frequently neg lected because of the large diversion of funds toward Liberty bonds and taxes.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

In the thirty-third week of the lay ing contest at Storrs the Leghorns continued to outlay their competitors among the heavy breeds. F'ifty-five pens including Rocks, Wyandottes and Reds made a yield of 59 per cent, while the 45 pens of Leghorns and Andalusians laid at rate of nearly 46 per cent. for the week. The to- tai production for all pens amounts to 4,203 thus bringing the entire num- Der of eggs laid to date over the hun dred thousand mark. First honors for the week went to a pen of Leg horns belonging to J. O. LeFevre Of New Paltz, N. Y, which laid GO eggs. Three pens of Eeghorns belonging to B. A. Ballard, Chestnut Hill, Pa, and Hollywood Farm, Hollywood, Wash, Clifford I. Stoddard, Woodbridge, Ct., all tied for second place with yield of 57 eggs. They were closely fol- lowed by a pen of ''Oregons'' from the Agricultural College, Corvallis, Ore, and pen of Leghorns belonging to M. T. Lindsay Mattituck, N. Y, each of which laid 56 eggs.
 During June and early July serious losses are known to occur as a result of chickens having eaten rose chafers. The insect is very common at this sea- son and in some yaers is to be found in great abundance. Chickens are apparently attracted by the sprawly appearance of the rose chafers and feed uI,on them ravenously. Death usually occurs within twenty-four hours or the birds will begin to inn prove if the dose has not been large enough to kill. From 15 to 20 rose chafers are sufficient to kill a week old chick while about twice as many are necessary to produce a sufficient amount of poison to kill chickens 3 weeks old. There is relatively little danger of loss from this cause with chickens nine weeks old or more as the number of chafers required for a lethal dose is considerably increased.
 As the insect feeds upon a large number of plants it seems essential that chickens be kept in moved fields and away from yards having grape vines and rose bushes during the months when rose chafers are most numerous.
 The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:
