Have Civilian Relief Funds
Last summer American Red Cross
chapters raised more than a million
dollars for the Red Cross War Fund.
Each chapter was permitted to claim
a refund Of up to 26 per cent Of the
amount collected for the expenses OF
the campaign. for the purchase Of raw
supplies and for its civilian relief
work. In making claim for refunds.
each chapter was required TO state
how much Of the refund was to be ex-
pended for civilian relief. And now
the chapters. are obligated to Keep tho
civilian relief portion for civilian 70

necessary to draw heavily from this

HENS AND PULLETS
May BE Sold Ii For Breeding and Lay
ing Purposes, Says Sackett.

Louisville, KY, February 2O-Any
live hens or pullets in the possession
of hucksters, storekeepers or deal
ers after February %, 1918, may be
sold for laying or breeding purposes
only.
They must not be killed and must
not be transferred or shipped in any
direction except back to a farm or
poultry keeper for egg production.
The ruling of the United States
Food Administrator prohibiting the
selling of hens and pullets is for the
purpose of conserving the egg supply
of the country and to encourage the
production of more chickens.
1t has been an unfortunate custom

in the State of Kentucky for the farm
err to sell hens during the early spring
months, Just as the time when they
would be producing the most eggs. II
is estimated that 100000 fowls are
sold annually from this State during
this time. This represents loss OF
30 900, 900 eggs, which will be prevent
ed this year.
Heretofore every farmer who has
sold hen during February has lost
at least fifty cents per hen by so doing
Therefore, this rule Is not hardship
but blessing, as the income to the
farmers in Kentucky will be some
thing like 100000 more than if the
hens had been sold.
The nation needs the eggs that will
be laid by these hens in order to in
crease our food supply and help win
the war
After May 1st these hens may be
sold as usual.
