LIGHT AND HEAVY BREEDS
 DIVIDE HoNORS AT sTOR]

A comparison of egg yields during the, first nine months of the current contest at Storrs with the production for the cor responding period Of last year clearly demonstrates the value of good poultry management. A year ago the supervisor of the contest was under the necessity of engaging new man on the average of every three weeks. The experienced .pcal- tryman understands full we'll that this is not time enough for a man to even get acquainted with the hens he is taking care of. Such rapid fire changes initiate against good egg production. During the laying contest last year there were actu- ally employed five superintendents and r different men worked under them. There was no way to avoid engaging so 1.ldny men, nevertheless this was poor poultry management. The net result was double the usual mortality among the hens, a loss of nearly 15,00eA GEES during the year and lot of i'll will from breeders who participated in the contest In the cur rent competition these adverse factors have been largely eliminated. At the end of the first nine months the mortality among the hens has been below the aver age, the egg production is above the five year average and 14,0eo eggs ahead of lats year. The contestants are all pleased with the prospects of 2 banner year.
 In the Ssth week the light and heavy breeds divided the honors equally OnecE Farms pen of Barred Rocks from West hampton Beach, L. L, messed into first place with score of 54 eggs. Hollywood Farms pen af LeghoFns from Hollywood. E Wash, was close second with a yield of 53 eggs.

A few days ago | read in your paper
an article stating that Mr.. Ford had
reduced bis motor ears from II to 81
per cent. saying that II was about time
for things to come down to prewar
prices, and that everyone should take
his loss now, or. In other words, this
would start the bali rolling toward pre-
war prices.
/ agree with Mr., Ford there, Every
manufacturer. johbor and retailer could
well afford to take a little loss mas
much as that when a manufacturer
advanced the price OF his goods be-
cause he granted a small increase in
salary. he also at the same time ad-
vanced the price Of millions of dollars
worth Of goods that had already been
manufactured and had nothing to do
with the Increase of salary.
The jobber followed suit with what
stock he had on hand. However, the
cotton grower could not do that be-
cause when he plants his crop and no
matter how high the price may go in
the meantime he can't take advantage
of IT, for he has to wait until his cotton
crop is gathered.

Paw Poll Tax.

The people Of Tennessee will vote
for presidential electors and COVER
nor on November 6. Under the laws
Of Tennessee, a person who fails to
pay his noll tax within 30 days be-
fore an election is not entitled to
vote.
Poll tax will not be required OF
women voters this year as they were
not eligible to vote In 1919 and
therefore were not liable for poll tax.
The poll tax collections go to the
support OF the public schools Of the
state. They need tho money, In
addition to the moral obligation. it
in an evasion of Jnc law for any
male person between the ayes OF u
and 80 not to pay poll tax. Poll tax
collections In Shelby county this year
have not been what they should be
Poll tax paid after October will not
ontitle the holder TO vote in the No
vember election.
We would like TO see a large vote
east in November. The people Of
Tennessee should give Gov. Cox n
; large majority Gov. Roberts Is the
Democratic nominee and deserves the
support Of every voter in tho state
who believes in law and order and
the equal enforcement Of all laws.
Gov. Roberts has incurred the en-
nifty Of certain elements In the state
because he has had the courage To
carry out the express provisions Of
the statutes and the platform upon
which he was nominated,
The opposition TO Gov. Roberts will
vote as a unit. The opposition al
ways votes Gov. Roberts lost Shelby
county in the August primary be-
cause about three fourths of the vot-
ers who would have cast their ballots
for him stayed away from the polls
on election day.
Gov. Roberts Is gosns to be re-
elected by the customary Democratic
majority regardless of what Shelby
county does, But Gov. Roberts has
been the friend Of this county. lie
has aided in the passage Of legisIa-
tion for the public welfare and hay
ing the support OF the local mem
bers of the general assembly.
Less than week remains Tor those
who wish 10 vote in the November
election to pay their poll tax Il IS
10 be hoped that not only Will the
collections be large during the re-
naming few days left to pay, but
that every person who has paid. or
