MISSION OF OYSTER SHELL
Not Given to Supply Grit, but to
Make Bone, Muscle and Feathers
Help Out Ration.

Many poultry growers, especially
beginners, have the impression that
oyster shells make good grit for
fowls, but such is not the case. Oyster
shells, in some respects do help to
grind the fowls food, but the chief
mission is to make bone, muscle and
feathers. They form the shell of the
egg, or assist in this matter and at the
same time aid in making a complete
ration when fowls are fed charcoal
and grit together with their grain ra-
tiOns. If you keep them before the
hens and do not feed fat-producing
feeds, they will prevent soft-shelled
eggs and keep them from acquiring
the egg-eating habit, which is one Of
the greatest losses ever experienced
by any poultrynan. In almost every
feed given to fowls we find a shortage
Of ash. The oyster shells supply this
want of ash and the hens lay their
full quota of eggs.

URGES RESUMiNG ROAD WORK

prepared by United States Department
of Agriculture.)
President Wilson favorS the earliest
possible resumption and extension Of
highway construction under the fed
eral aid road act and has written Sec
retary of Agriculture Houston to that
effect. The secretary of war also has
written the secretary Of agriculture in
favor of highway work.
The presidents letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Secretary:
II heartily agree with you that it
would be in the public interest to re-
sumo in full measure the highway con-
struction operations under the federal
aid road act, and to do so as speedily
as possible. I understand the neces-
sity which existed for their contrac-
ton during the stress through which
we have been passing, but that obsta-
Gle is now removed. believe that it
would be highly desirable to have an
additional appropriation made availa-
BILE to the department of agriculture,
to be used in conjunction, if possible,
with any surplus state and community
funds, in order that these operations
may be extended. It is important not
only to develop good highways
throughout the country as quickly as
possible, but it is also at this time es-
pecially advisable to resume and ex-
tend all such essential public works.
with view to furnishing employment
for laborers who may be seeking new
tasks during the period Of readjust-
ment. Knowing that the department
Of agriculture and the state highway
authorities in each state have been
carefully working out road systems
and developing plans and specifica-
tions, have no doubt that all activi-
ties in this field can be vigorously con-
Quoted through these two sets of exist
ing agencies, acting in full accord.
Faithfully yours,
WOODROW WILSON,"
The following letter has been re-
ceived from Secretary of War Baker /:
my Dear Mr.. Secretary:
II am in full agreement with your
view that there should not only be a
prompt resumption of road construc-
ton under the federal aid road act,
and under such further authority as
may exist for separate state action, but
also that additional funds should be
made available to your department for

GERMANY.
(Guarantv Trust Co0

According to a dispatch from Ham, burg, the first German steamer to leave for the Mediterranean since the outbreak of the war has sailed from Hamburg. It is further reported that the German Levant Line has re- established regular service in the Bal. tic trade during the war, and earned large profits.
 There is a great lack of railway material and rolling stock in Ger many, but it is reported (from Lon- don) that large orders are in con temptation or have actually been booked in the United States.
 In 1913 Germany produced 191,- 100000 tons of coal and S0.000,0 900 tons of Ignite. The present coal pro auction is at the rate of 100000 tons a year. This barely covers the requirements of the railways, private households, gas plants, and public in stitubons. which amounted to 63,00O,- 900 tons in 1913. This leaves, there fore, almost nothing for the indus trial establishments, which consumed 8O,O0O. 900 tons before the war.
 Germany's iron and steel produc- ton has fallen off greatly since the Armtstice. Excluding LuXemburg and Lorraine, the total production of pig iron amounted to only 3,003. .619 tons in the first half of the present year. The corresponding figure for the first six months of 1918 was 6,227,205 tons.
 It is reported from Berlin that the German Government has decided to distribute 250, 100000 marks among the German steamship companies whose lines were seized during the war.
 All German imports and exports are subject to individual licenses is sued on behalf of the Minister of Economies by the Commissioner for Import and Export Licenses The principles governing the issue Of H. censes are constantly changing, and almost all applications are being de cided on individual merits. The ob- ject of the system is to secure suit able prices and credits, and to pre- vent the influx of manufactured and luxury articles, and the outflow of needed raw material and half-man- ufactured goods.
 The new law, which prohibits the eXportation of capital, went into eff feet September 18th, 1919. It provides that each bank must keep records of all it's remittances and transfers to foreign countries, except where it is for the banks own account, or on behalf of a foreign client. Subject to this provision. all German foreign exchange transa ctions are now free, as the regulations for foreign eN- change were cancelled Septelnbet 72th. 1919. The export of bank not is however. still subject to the li- cense of the Reichsbank.

labor situation as already indicated. Out of the anxiety and dissa tisfactton produced by this price situation has grown a renewal of demand for some scheme of artificial control of values. That which is most popular at the present time is the so-called ''stabili- zation' of the dollar, a proposal which has been pressed upon Con- gress for some years past. 4 Con gress1onal resolution to appoint a
 monetary commission apparently has in view the idea of Investigating the feasibility of this kind of artificial control of prices. The matter is still In the preliminary stages of discus sion, and as in all periods of infla- ton and price disturbance the idea of government intervention takes strong hold of some minds.
 Tine Speculative Position
 Many of the securities now most freely traded in are in a more or less speculative position and the question of advances in their quoted values is a very close one, many gen craI factors being against such an advance, while there are some which may favor it. The fact that the months from now until the end of the year are usually a period of good de mana Tor current IunQS, Nn1Ie the heavy drafts upon the reserve system in connection with government if nancing have so largely drawn down the resources of the central instiJu- tions, indicates that Q scarcity of funds for speculative borrowing may continue for some time. This points to firm rates for call money. Coupled with the evident postponement of the time when the treaty of peace will come into effect and the unavoidable uncertainty as to general financial and business conditions that will prevail until after that event, the present situation must be regarded as doubtful and calling for caution in the stock market. From the broader standpoint, however, it con- tinucs to be true that the world posi- ton of the United States is unrivaI- led and that an almost unlimited de- mand for it's goods exists abroad, while internally much genuine pros perity is exhibited with not a little that is superficial rather than ac- tuaI The transition stage through which the world is passing presents serious problems and the United States cannot escape from bearing its share in them. This Is unavoidable but it involves the continuance of unsettIernent of values and prices for some time to come.
