July Noting.

Tennessee fowls begin melting dur
ing July and continue until November.
Results of observations as compiled by
use Of the trap nest have proved that
early Noting hens produce fewest
eggs.
Pullets Matched early will lay dur
ing the fall and early winter. Heavy
producing hens will continue to lay
until November. The deep yellow in
the legs of the, best laying hens will
fade considerably as the laying season
advances. Great width between the
pelvic bones also is noticeable in the
biggest producers. The bones also are
pliable. There is also great width be-
tween the keel and these bones.
Usually On the best hens this distance
will be the width of the hand.
The spread between the pelvic bones
of the smaller breeds, such as Leg
horns, is about the width of two and IL
half fingers. In the larger strains as
Plymouth Rocks the spread is about
the width of three or more fingers.
Hens in any strain having this quail
fcation should be carried over for use
in the breeding pens.
The early melting, yellow legged
hens sGould be marketed during July,
August aud September, the time when
their laying period is most likely to
end.
With corn selling at 1925 a bushel,
and other feeds equally as expensive,
the few eggs that light producing hens
lay from July 10 until January 10 will
not offset the feeding cost. Further
more, the room they will occupy can
be more profltably used if early hatch
ed pullets are kept in their space.
Pullets that develop slowly should
be sold at the time cockerels are placed
on the market. Only strong, vigorous,
early Matched pullets should be kept
for egg producers. A flock thus pick
ed, kept in a comfortable house, and
well fed, will produce the maximum.
Otherwise vitality, production and
profits will be low.
Many returned soldiers and war
workers are wanting to buy or rent
farms. During the past few years
thousands of men have left>the farms,
and 10Y some of them are wanting to
return. To assist them the Division
of Extension, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville, is compiling a list of farms
for sale or rent. This list will be sent
to farmers who wish to get back on the
farm.
There is no charge for this service.

formation in Regard to Breeding Up
Flock and Caring for it During Late
Summer.

(By Il. n. Crane, Poultry Specialist,
Division of Extension, University of
T~enneSSee.)
The earliest matured cockerel that
shows the most vigor, that feathers
first, and is disposed to fight, is nearly
always the best breeder, and should
be retained.
The cockerel should have strong,
understanding apart legs. He should
have a strong back, be wide across the
shoulders, and back to the hips. He
should have a deep, full breast, short
neck, short blocky head, medium sized
comb, and strong, bright eyes. This
type of cockerel is easily kept fat, and
will transmit this quality to his off
spring.
Summer Care of Poultry.
When cockerels attain marketable
ages they should be sold and the pull
lets transferred to roomy quarters
which have been thoroly whitewashed.
Roupe and tuberculosis will develop
If they are allowed TO stay in crowded
coops.
Pullets. which have their early
growth hindered by close conditions

ducing hens.

PACIFIC COAST SHIP MERGER
 IS REPORTED

SAN FRANCISCO, May IT (by As sociated Press) Pacific coast ship ping circles are awaiting with inter- est the return of William H. Avery, adviser to the Asano interests and the Toyo Risen Kaisha, who is expected to arrive here tomorrow on the S. S. Korea Maru from the Orient. Mir. Avery has been in consultation con corning the great merger of Pacific shipping interests, which, of late, has occupied the attention of the public, and is expected to give some definite information as to the progress made.
 Negotiations looking toward the formation of new $10O,0OO,0O0 steamship company by powerful Jap anese and American financial inter- ests have been under way for some time according to general reports from authoritative sources. One of the ideas underlying the merger is to ICuuCC IAC CAOOI OA tAC g. Se]t oOSAAAAO in the value of tonnage that has oc- currd everywhere since the armistice by handing over to the combination the newly constructed steamers at a reduced price. Much of the discussion has centered on the price per ton to be fixed for the purposes of the transfer.
 According to the Aashi, a Japanese newspaper, there has been much diff ference of opinion between the Ameri- cans and Japanese concerned in re- gard to the valuation of the vessels to be taken over by the proposed con- pany. The American promoters are said to have advocated price of $l5O per ton, which is about the same as the price quoted on the open market in Japan, while the Japanese interests maintain that the value of the vessels built during the war should be put at approximately twice this figure.
 Another factor which has entered into the negotiations is the fact that
