season; but If this be not possible,
free range just preceding and during
the breeding season viii be. of great
value. Birds on free range will give
a higher fertility, better matches, and
stronger chicks.
Maintaining Fertility.
The breeding flock should be
watched to see that the fowls keep in
condition. Examine the birds and
houses to see that they are not in
tested with lice or mites. If the birds
are overrun with either of these pests,
the fertility will be affected seriously
or totally destroyed. Care must be
used also to see that the male does
not get his comb or wattles frosted.
II these are frozen to any extent.
his ability to fertilize eggs will be
for several weeks. When the weather
is very cold the males intended for
breeding should be placed in a box or
crate partly covered with bag or
cloth to prevent freezing of the comb
or wattles. 1t is also well to examine
the male occasionally to see that his
crop is full and that he Is not growing
thin. Sometimes the male is so gall
liant that he allows the hens to eat all
the food. with the result that he soon
gets out of condition. If this happens,
the male must be caught up at least
once day and fed separately from the
hens.
Feeding Breeding Stock.
The breeders must be fed to keep
them in good condition and at the
same time to produce eggs. Any good
ration fed to layers is suitable for this
purpose, but it should not be extreme
ly forcing, or, In other words, it should
not have an extremely large proper
ton Of beef scrap. The birds should
be in good flesh but not be allowed
to become excessively fat. All whole
or cracked grain should be fed in the
litter so as to make the fowls exercise
by scratching for it. Unless the flock
has access to some natural supply of
green feed which is not likely during
and preceding the breeding season, it
must be fed some of this materia, in
the form of sprouted oats, cabbage,
mangels, or cut clover or alfalfa.

or the new crop will break the price. The I same thing was prohesied in 1915, 1918 and in 1917. The producers, however, each time took care of the cotton and | prices each time actually advanced as l the movement rose to it's crest. It is 1 said that prices during these years Were l not so high as they will probably be this l fall. That is likely true, but neither 1 was the cost of producing these crops go l high as will be the cost of growing the 1 crop this year. Taking these records | into consideration, 1t seems on the whole within reasonable certainty that the 1 producers views as to what it will cost I him to grow his cotton will have more l to do with finally determining the price throughout the coming season than any | other factor that is likely to develop. RECORD OF COST
 What is the record as to this cost? The I last year of normal conditions preceding l the war was 1913. The average price oi
 cotton that year was 1S1sc. The staple I products consumed in the production o cotton advanced in price, from 1913 tc l 191S 1S7 per cent. Or, in other words
 the advance in the price of corn, meat
 meal, flour. fertilizers, farm implements | and standard dry goods increased the cost of growing cotton 25Ac pound dur l ing this period. The crop of 1913 was produced by labor at from SIS to S20 per month. In producing the crop of 1918 la
 Dor will cost approximately S5 per
 month. The department of agriculture
 in bulletin 492, just issued, showing the
 cost of growing cotton in the year 1913 { fully confirms the higher cost of pro duction, which these records indicate. l The merchants, bankers and planters
 constitute the cotton producing interests I They are the real constructive force ir
 southern life and are perfectly familiar
 with these records. For some time they have been, and are still, subjecting the l cost of growing cotton to a business like analysis such as 1t was never sub l jected to before. The writer knows that l throughout this investigation they have 1 been, and are still keenly differentiat- l ing between what is history, what is ar gument and what is merely market news I These men are also fully aware of the difficulties that are likely to develop
 in the future, and they fully understand l just how such difficulties have been met l and overcome in the past.
 1 With existing labor conditions it is, ot l course, possible to produce and harvest 1 a cotton crop that would be menactne
 burden, but it is clearly well beyond a
 reasonable expectation. Nor is a decline | in the price of labor or food products l any more to be expected. Based upon these clearly defined records it seems safe to calculate, therefore. that the croE of 1918 will go out of the hands of the producers at higher level than did the :, crop of 1917. It is interesting to note | that thsi forecast depends for justifica- | ton, not so much upon theoretical spec l ulations as it does upon mathematical | deductions.

BRITISH FARMER
 HIGHLY SKILLED
Duke of Marlborough Says, However, Money Returns
 Are Too Small

London, May 5.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press s.)-"The British farmer is the most skilled agriculturist in the world said the Duke of Marl- borough in an interview here, discuss ing the new income tax measures direct cd against the farming classes.
 '"rhe war period has brought out the value and virtues of the British farmer as never before" continued the Duke The farmer has lost his skilled men, and the difficulties due to the war have made his pursuit more and more irk- some, but he has made supreme effort and the results have exceeded all ex- pectations.'
 The Duke declared that overtaxation of the farmer would be a great national disaster. The farmer is not a profiteer," he explained In my opinion. profiteer- ing as applied to agriculture does not and never has existed in this country. Those who accuse the farmer of pro- fiteering have little or no Knowledge of conditions. Labor, feeding stuffs and machinery have all advanced in manner out of all proportion to the extra profits reeped by the farmer. Today the farm CTS net margin of profit on his invest ment does not exceed 10 or F per cent.
 The question is. what does the gov ernment consider a legitimate profit for a man who stakes the whole of his cap ital on an industry in which he also expends the whole of his labor and abili- ties? If the government will fix that percentage, and the farmers profits are in excess of that sum, then he may be accused of profiteering, but not till then.
 In industrialsm the returns on cap- ital are higher and the risks many times less. For this reason people prefer to invest in industrial enterprises, where they obtain large return without work ins for it, rather than in the soil. If homegrown food matters, then the profits gained from agriculture should be in relation to the profits gained else where"
 The success of the British farmers la bor during the war, in the Dukes opin- ion. is due very largely to the loyal support of women workers. "The women land workers have toiled splendidly," he said. "They have filled the gaps on the farms, and considering that they have hitherto had no experience in agricul- tural pursuits they have shown an ex- traordinary aptitude for the work. To use a well-worn statement of mine, wom- ea can supplement men, but they cannot surplant them. We are not, and shall never be, an agrarian people. Our wom- en are not fitted to tof on the land in the same way as the French. Italian and Swiss women are.
 Tt would be futile to suggest that the time will ever come when British farm CTS can hope to supply the entire needs of our population. At the best they can only hope to augment the supply in such a way that our dependence on other countries is many times less than was the case in pre-war days
