GIRLS AS CHICKEN RAIsERs
Bronze Medal for Best Individual
Record Went to Marie Bradfish
of ST. Johns County.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Thousands of chickens were added
to FlOrida's supply of fowls last year
by the efforts of the boys and girls
who are doing club work in that state,
supervised by the home demonstration
agents of the United States depart
ment of agriculture and the state col
lege. The bronze medal for the best
individual record made by girl went
to Marie Bradfish of st. Johns county.
She set 10 eggs and raised 152 chick
ems. valued at $264-24: The expenses
for raising the flock were $685.. 1eav-
ing a net profit of $2O7 90. Lloyd Town
send of Baker county won the state
bronze medal given to the boy who
made the best Individual report in the
state. He raised SO chickens, valued
at $116.15. at cost of SAT. "a. His net
profit was $6S.51. The girls in Florida

the extension specialists say. but is
also demonstration to show how
proper management will increase the
egg production and profits of the farm
flock
The plan is to have one poultry
keeper in each community of the vari-
Gus counties enter the contest. The
contestants agree 10 care for their en-
tire poultry flock as nearly as possible
according to directions furnished by
the poultry-eXtenSiOn workers through
the office of the farm bureau At the
end of each month each contestant
is to report expenses and income from
his flock for the month. This plan will
stimulate better methods of poultry
management by demonstrating on a
typical farm in the neighborhOod the
results which can be secured by prop
or care of the flock.
According to reports of the extern
sion workers. 81 farm flOcks are en-
tered in the contest, with an average
of 155 hens to the farm. In February
the hens in the contest averaged 81
eggs. The value Of eggs to the farm
amounted to S32.0S, the cost of feed
per farm $1S.17, and the average net
profit 1891. In the four months, No
vember. December, January and Feb
ruary, eggs valued at S1OO.53 were pro-
duced on each farm at a cost for feed
OF $3.50 for each farm. White Leg
horns averaged % eggs for the four
months and led all breeds in egg
yields.
The highest record in similar con-
test held in the state last year was
made by N P. Hollar, living near

STATE OFFICIALS WILL AID
Committee Named to Bring About
Closest Cooperation in construc-
ton of Highways.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricuIture)
To bring about the most effective
cooperation between the federal and
state governments in the big program
of highway construction now under
way, A. R. Hfrst, president of the
American Association of State High
way Officials, has named, at the re-
quest of the secretary of agriculture,
a committee to act with the depart
ment of agriculture's bureau of public
roads in carrying into effect the fed
eral aid road act and its amendments.
Following are the state representa-
tiyes selected by Mr.. Hirst:
George P. Coleman, state highway
commissioner of Virginia s. E. Bradt,
state superintendent of highways of
Illinois: Charles J. Bennett, state
highway commissioner of COnnecti-
cut; W. S. Keller, state highway en-
gineer of Alabama, and Ira r. Brown
ing, state road engineer of Utah.
Stimulated by recent liberal amend
ments and added appropriations to the
original federal aid road act, road
building plans in the states have re-
ceived tremendous impetus. Many Of
the states have provided by large
bond issues and otherwise, amounts
much larger than will be required to
match the federal appropriations.
Up to May of this year, 1,O57 prof.
ect statements for federal aid roads
had been approved by the secretary of
agriculture. They involve the improve
ment of 10580 miles of roads at an
estimated cost of S92 1888, 121.8 of
which the federal aid requested was
$36.576, S57.4S. The amount of federal
funds available on March 1 for road
building was more than $72, 90O,0 900,
which, under the law must be match
ed by an equal amount from the
states, making total of $145, 600,
which includes approximately $780,
600 from federal and state ScprceS for
roads in the national forests. Funds
that will become available on July 1,
with equal contributions from the
states, will provide an additional $685.
100000 for federal road work, max
ing an aggregate sum Of $343, 800, 900
available for the calendar year. 1t is
expected, however, that the states will
defer taking up. part of the available
funds until 1920.
War conditions, which almost imme-
diately followed the passage of the
first federal aid act in July, 1915,
brought scarcity OF labor, materials
and transportation, and restricted

the bOrers are within such material

Under the most favorable circum-
stances the burning OF infested plants

The enactment Of more adequate
state laws to control sheep-killing
dogs is urged by Secretary Houston in
letter just sent to the governors Of
20 states The secretary points out
that, although there has been n graft
tying increase in the number OF sheep
in the United States in the past year,
there is room for further expansion OF
the industry. Farmers, he says, are
discouraged in many instances from
keeping sheep on account Of the dan
ger Of damage by dogs. The letters
were sent to the governors Of Arkan-
Sas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mary
land, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
New Hampshire, North Carolina, Okla
hOma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin,
where state legislatures are now in
session. Following IS the letter:
Il understand that many states now
have under consideration the matter Of
legislation to encourage the larger de-
velOpment Of the sheep industry Iby re-
moving or controlling the dog menace.
During the past year, as you perhaps
know, there has been a gratifying in
crease in the number Of sheep in the
United States. There is undoubtedly
room in many sections Of the country
for further expansion along this line,
especially in the settled farming areas.
The field representatives OF this de-
partment, however, generally report
that farmers are discouraged in many
instances from keeping sheep on ac-
count Of the danger of damage by
dogs.
