REMAIN ON GUARD
FOR ARMY PESTS
Farmers Urged. to Watch For
Worm Despite Extermln-

WASHINGTON. d. c.. May so. -
No new appearance of the army
worm has been reported to the
United States department of agri-
culture. and with the strenuous eff
forts being put forth in Texas 10 pre-
vent its spread there is hope that II
may be confined 10 the vicinity of
Dallas and TT. Worth. where the pest
has manifested itself this year and
has caused considerable damage to
wheat and oats.
Farmers in all states east Of the
Rocky mountains. however. are
urged by the department TO remain
on the watch for the insect and to
report it's discovery Immediately to
state or federal agricultural officials
Called Cutworm.
The army worm is simply cut

habits. explains Or. Il. %. Howard.

POULTRY RA|SERS
BREED FOR ECGs
Rooster Week Will be OBJ
served This Year From
June 2 to 7.

How many eggs per hen is it rea-
sonable to expect from a farm flock
of hens? One sO-acre farm in this
county reports an average yield of
1855 eggs per hen, while another
farm with the same breed Of chick
ems reports only As eggs per hen.
The average egg production from
St Joseph county farm hens is not
far from an average OF so eggs per
hen. although this average is being
raised steadily. Good care and
breeding should produce an egg
yield OF around ten dozen eggs per
hen. with possibilities of,even much
higher yields for the man who
knows how to breed for egg pro-
duction.
A simple system Of breeding for
higher egg production on the farm
is 10 breed only from hens which
have been selected for breeders
after one year Of laying. This means
that good pullets Matched during the
spring of 1918 will be the breeders
i'm the spring Of 1920. During August
and September of this year these
puIlets will be very carefully culled
for egg production and only those
which have proven good layers will
be kept over for breeders.
Eliminate the Rooster
When mating the hens for the
breeding season most satisfactory
results are usually obtained by
using vigorous, early Matched cock
erels. instead Of older males. There
is no need Of keeping over the old
ROSTERS. especially under average
farm conditions. The young cock
erels Matched out this spring are
usually of equal quality in breeding,
and are more vigorous next season.
Beca use of these breeding facts,
Rooster week has been ablished
which this year is June 10 :. Dur
ing this week all roosters on the
average farm should be sent to mar
ket. Better summer eggs will be
produced. large amount of food
viii be saved. often higher price
per pound Will be obtained for the
roosters. and the breeding problem
will be simplifed. All farmers are
urged to observe Rooster week this
year simply because it is good BUSH
ness practice. :

Weekly Grain Review

Chicago November despite the
strained Industrial conditions, corn
prices have advanced this week owing
largely to unfavorab1e weather and to
car scarcity. The market this morn
ing compared with a week ago was
&c to 4c higher. At the same time
oats were unchanged to Nc up, and
provisions varying from &c decline to a
rise of S1.10.
Although labor difficulties tended at
times to diminish business in corn and
to weaken prices, excessive moisture
which was likely to delay the move
ment of grain from the farms gave
powerful impetus to bullish sentiment.
The fact that receipts of corn showed
decided falling off was ascribed
partly to the need of cars to haul wheat
but this did not alter knowledge that
the position of shorts in corn had been
aggravated, especially regarding De-
cember deliveries. Gossip about big
credit said to have been negotiated be-
tween New York financial interests and
Germany counted further against the
bears and so, too, did bulges in the

MADE SOME LATE
SHARP ADVANCES
General List Closed Strong
at a Net Advance of Is to
IS Points Over Close
on Friday

New York, November 1.-Early ir-
regularity resulting from nervousness
over the coal strike, was followed by
sharp advances in the cotton marke t
this morning. January deliveries sold
up from 35.75c to 3S.40c and all the
later months also made new high re-
cords for the season. with the close
strong at a net advance of Is to 55
points.
The market was unsettled during the
early trading and after opening eight
points higher to 10 points lower sold
about Is to 20 points under last night S
closing figures. There was soms
southern hedge selling as well as liqui-
dation, but most of the pressure seemed
to come from local sources and trade
interests were buyers the decline
to 36.45c for December and 35.10c for
March.
This gave the market steady under
tone and after the early offerings had
been absorbed prices turned firmer on
the continued rains in the belt and
prospects for freezing temperatures in
the southwest. Il
Business was more active on the ad-
vance than it had been on the early
decline and the best levels of the day
were reached in the late trading when
December sold at 5000 and March
35.S0c, or about % to 81 points net
higher on the active positions. The
| close was a few points off from the
| best under realizing.
The early weather may showed tenn
pc ratures as low as 80 degrees at ANA
rillo. Texas and So degrees at Oklaho-
ma City, while the official western belt
forecast indicated that still lower tenn
peratures to the northward would work
down in the southwest over Sunday.
Bullish week end reviews of the
goods market helped the rally from the
early low level and while nervousness
| over the coal strike had a restricting
| influence on general business, senti-
ment as to the outcome seemed to be
generally optimistic
