R. I. RED HENS PASS
 BARRED ROCKS IN RACE

The most prominent feature of the S4th week of the laying contest at Storrs is the fact that a pen of Rhode Island Reds owned by Pinecrest Orchards, Gro ton, Mass, has relegated to second place a pen of Barred Rocks owned by Jules F. Francais, Northampton Beach, L. l. Jules F. Francais' Barred Rocks have been the leading pen in the contest for the past five weeks but at no time during this period did they have a lead of more than fourteen eggs on the pen of Reds from Groton, Mass. A pen of Rhode Isl and Reds owned by Deer Brook Poultry Farm, Short Falls, N. H., has replaced Charles H. Lanes Reds for the third best pen of Reds. During the 34th week the hens in the contest at Storrs laid 3S76 eggs or production of 55.4 per cent. This is a drop of 25s eggs over the preceding week and 174 eggs less than the five year average for the same week. First honor for the week goes to Pinecrest Orchards Rhode Island Reds from Groton. Mass. with a yield of 59 eggs. Hollywood Farms White Leghorns from Hollywood Wash, was second with a total of 55 eggs Mrs. R. w. Stevens White Wyandottes from Schuylerville, N. Y was third best with a total of 52 eggs. Three pens of Leghorns, namely, Clifford l. Stoddard's from Woodbridge, Conn, Imperial Poultry Farms from Eli zabeth. N J., and Francis F. Lincoln's s from Mount Carmel Conn.,. all tied for third place with yield of 51 eggs each.
 With the oncoming of warm weather the removal of the male birds from the flock will be found advantageous, in that it will not hinder egg production and the sterile eggs which the hens produce will keep much longer and will not deterio- rate so quickly in transit.

stupendous amount of work is
awaiting the action of the commission,
which will have arbitrary power to
adjust rents and hotel rates in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The commissions
task will be increased by the provision
that the Salisbury resolution shall be-
come imperative sixty days after the
commission has been ratified by the
Senate. Appeals in the cases testing
the constitutionality of the resolution
now are before the United States Su-
preme Court.
Because of this feature of the law
it is probable that the court will never
be called on to pass on the constitution
ality of the resolution.
Expect Many to Seek Hearings.
Tenants who have had to find apart
ments in the city during war times and
vantage of the salisbury resolution,
which prevented a raise in rent rates
to tenants retaining their apartments.
and landlords who have been prevented
from raising the rates on old tenants
during the last two years are expected
to besiege the new commission with
requests for immediate hearings.
These forces will be augmented by
hundreds of renters who fear that
the passing of the Salisbury measure
will result in multiplied rentals, and
in consequence it appears that the
commission will be called on to re-
view conditions in nearly every
apartment house and rented home in
the District.
Rent rates may be brought before
the commission in three ways-by
tenants. regardless of wether they
are occupying property under a lease;
by property owners in cases where a
lease has expired and has not been re-
newed. or by the commission on it's
own initiative. Under the Ball act
the commission will continue in ex-
istence for two years, at which time
it will dissolve unless kept in existence
by another act Of Congress.
The commissioners will draw sal
aries of $4,000 each per annum and
may employ a secretary at $4,000.
All other employees of the commits
sion will be civil service appointees.
The assessor of the District is eX-
officio a member of the commission,
but in an advisory capacity only.
