POULTRY MEN AT,
DEMONSTRATION
See Caponizing Process as Done by
Government Expert-Eggs
May Reach 81.

About 50 local poultrymen attended
the caponizing demonstration by A. l..
Smith, specialist of Burlington, at Wal
ter S. Pratt s farm on Western avenue
yesterday afternoon. Several OF the
men carried specimens for the demon
stration.
The demonstration indicated that
many local poultrymen would seem to
have followed the advice of the United
States department of agriculture in get
ting chicks hatched earlier than has
been done in former years. Last sea-
son the number was far below normal,
due to rulings of the food adminietra-
ton which were detrimental to the
poultry industry, and because of the
high cost of feed in comparison with
egg and meat prices. This season, how
ever. the hatch is more than % per cent
above that of last year, although still
below normal.
Mr.. Smith explained that the advan-
tage of rearing capons lies in enabling
the poultry grower to have softtlesh
fowls ready for raising at any time
throughout the year. Growers who make
a business of raising broilers produce
a fowl which is about equal to the ca
pom in market quality, but the brollers,
of course, have to be sold within the
period of a few weeks, whereas the
grower of capons can hold them until
the market seems most favorable.
The egg situation also was gone over,
as this side Of the business always is
of interest to poultrymen. This prod
uct undoubtedly will go TO one dollar
a dozen this fall and early winter and
there seems no likelihood of cheap eggs
in the market this season. The cold
storage of eggs seems to have gotten in
TO the hands of concerns who are able
to carry the market at a high leve
for storage products and this, of course
affects the price Of fresh eggs In tn,
opinion of most poultrymen there vii
be no cheap eggs again until feed cost.
take a considerable drop in comparison
with other prices.

RAILROAD DEFICIT s58, 100000.
That Is Estimated Loss for April
Hines Clinging to Economy.

WASHINGTON. June director
General Hines estimated yesterday that
the railroad administration incurred
deficit of approximately 100000 in
April, making a total deficit of $3.50,
100000 for the first four months of the
year. The director general reiterated,
however, his previously expressed Judge
ment that present economic conditions
were too unsettled to afford a safe basis
for decision as to the necessity for in
creased rates to offset the difference be-
tween income and operating cost For
the present there will be no raise, he
added, the administration eonfining it
self to practieing every possible econ
omy.
The net operating income for April
was about $4,000. 900. as compared with
$7l000,000 for April last year, and an
average Of $67, I02 ,6S1 for April during

in the council of four that alterations
must be made in the treaty, but in what

of the German peace mission, left Yer.

BRATTLEBoRo TEAM WINS.
Defeats Bellows Falls in Rifle Match
Rutland Fails to Appear

Eight men of the Brattleboro Rife club
went by automobile to Bellows Falls
Thursday night anticipating a three-cor-
nored shooting match with team from
Bellows Falls and one from Rutland, but
for some unknown reason the Rutland
team failed to appear. As the Bellows
Falls team was not familiar with shoot
ing with telescope sights, which are used
by the Brattleboro men, iron sights were
used. Eight men from each club shot in
the match, it being agreed that the marks
of the best five should be taken for the
final scores, which resulted in 972 for the
Brattleboro team against 902 for the Bel
lows Falls team. Following are the
scores:

FAIR DECISION TO

Subscriptions to Stock Up to
Last Night Were
S2,7O0 Short
STRONG SENTIMENT
IN OUTSIDE TOWNS
Committee Hopes Remaining Shares
May Be Disposed of by 73O o clock
This Evening Need of Local Sup
port is Urgent.

Figures compiled late last evening
on the result of yesterdays drive for
the sale of Valley fair stock showed a
total subscription of $4,000, with re-
ports from a number of outside So
licitors missing. This left balance of
$1,000 to be sold in order to complete
the disposal of the associations s $l5-
900 stock.
AT the suggestion of the campaign
committee the fair directors voted to
wait until 80 tonight before definitely
putting into effect their decision to
abandon all plans for fair this fall
This action on the part of the directors
was propted chiefly by the feeling
among the residents of the towns out
side of Brattleboro in regard to the
fair. The success which attended the
solicitors who went to Chesterfield, n.
H., Thursday afternoon was duplicated
yesterday in Hinsdale, \. H., and
Dummerston, almost every person vis-
tied being not only anxious to see the
fair continued but willing to take from
one to four shares of stock to help the
project along.
| In view of this sentiment in outside
towns the committee IN charge of the
sale of stock feels that it would be a
serious mistake for Brattleboro people
to let the fair be dropped for lack of
| local support. and ii Is hoped that bv
/ 9.30 tonight the necessary stock
pledges viii have been forthcoming.
