When you consider that the number

for high prices for eggs and poultry

Eggs Are High and Feeds Lower.
Grains and mixed feeds are declin-
Ing In price and we have q reversal
Of conditions today. namely, eggs are
high and feeds are lower. Our gov
eminent urges you TO raise more poul-
try to save meat. Eggs are excellent
food, composed of highly nutritious
proteids. In fact, eggs and milk lead
all other foods IN nutrition values.
Time Has Come &c Raise Chickens.
It is therefore the moment to raise
chickens and We cannot urge you too
strongly TO make your plans at once.
arrange contests among the boys and
girls and give prizes for the greatest
number Of chickens Matched and
raised by any club in your county.
What to Feed.
You are fortunate If you have the
feed. but there is good money in eggs,
even should you buy all your feed.
Don't attempt to cheat your egg ma
chine. The high-priced feeds are high
In values or they could not be sold.
Beware of any feed that has nothing
but cheap" TO recommend il. All the
leading poultry feed mills issue books
OF exact information which will pre-
vent you making mistakes. Don't try
to economic on feeds. Go after the
eggs and get them; feed mixtures
which will bring results. Don't be
stingy with your hens; give them egg
material and they will produce eggs.

There Is Big Money in Eggs

There Is Big Money in Eggs.
National Crop Improvement service.l
~ URING the past four years we
have witnessed a great increase
in the price Of grains and food
stuffs.0 Corn advanced from 80 cents
10 $500 per bushel. Wheat increased
in value during this period from 5000
TO $3.50 per bushel. and the price of
all other grains accordingly. Meat
and animal products rapidly increased
In value. For instance. pork rose in
value from six cents per pound live
weight TO % cents per pound. How
ever. there was one exception to this
condition. Poultry prices advanced
only from IS cents per pound to "a
cents per pound. The price of eggs
in the preceding season during the
spring and summer months varied
from % cents to "a cents per dozen.
There was a reason for this slow ad-
vance.
Our great country was literally
stocked with poultry, and when grain
prices scared many farmers shipped
their hens and the market was glutted.
Poultry ralsers throughout the coun-
try sacrificed their highly bred stock
on the market and closed their plants
due to the lack of feed. The effect of
slaughtering our laying hens did not
appear until this winter, when we
found our c~old-storage stocks Of eggs
completely exhausted by February /.
We were facing an egg famine. Our
mild winter has aided the remaining
hens TO lay wonderfully well, and the
situation is saved for the time being,
but look out for next year!

changes In the present law governing
the issuance OF motor car licenses has
been prepared under the direction or
Secretary OF State Vaughan and intro
duced In the house. The chief change
Is In the license rates. the straight

changed into "A group system under
which all cars OF less than 20 horse
power would pay $40 annual tax Cars
OF % TO 80 horsepower would pay SIS.
Cars OF SO To as horsepower would
pay $40 Those above 45 horsepower
would pay SIS. Electric cars under A.
900 pounds weight would pay $l2 and
those over that weight would pay
SIS.
All commercial cars would be rated
at 90 cents per 100 pounds. eliminat-
ing vehicles would be allowed. Those
under 1000 pounds would pay So for
the first trailer and So for the second.
Both would pay $40 when the weight
exceeds 1000 pounds.
Other changes provide that dealers
and garages must keep records OF all
purchases and sales and make month
" reports to the secretary OF state.
Cars parked in highways at night
must have both front and rear lights.
Regulations governing chaufieurs are
made more stringent and licenses may
be refused those who use drugs or in
toxicants. The secretary OF state Is
given authority to hire inspectors to
assist the police in detecting viola

The bill 10 establish budget sys-
tenn for the state or Michigan Will be
the first OF the big measures OF the
year to get consideration in the legis'
lature. The last legislature argued
through nearly its whole session about
what kind of budget system TO in
augurate and finally left the matter
to a commission TO be appointed by
the governor and To report its find
ings TO this Legislature.
The bill based on the report OF this
commission was the first one intro
duced in the senate when the session
opened. The prospect is that some
sort OF budget system will be estab-
lished. nearly every one being agreed
on the need OF one But agreement
stops there. and much argument is go
ing on among legislators on what the
actual provisions OF the bill should be.
As a result there probably will be
much debating OF every phase OF the
proposed Law.
However the senate finance com
mittee has decided to go ahead with
the matter and after several hearings
to report out the bill and give tire argu
! ments chance to start before the leg
islative calendar becomes crowded
with a lot of other matters
