CULLING POOR HENS

Forty Per Cent of Birds In Average Farm Flock Ars NonproduotIvs and ShouId Be Fattened and

In Missouri last year, 78,765 birds were eliminated from 1,593 fiocks which were culled under the super vision of the home demonstration agents sent out by the United States department of agriculture and the State Agricultural college. Tms re- suited in & saving of approximately $5O,161 to their owners.
 In another state, 4S6 local leaders were trained, with the result that 717,- 47S birds were culled. Of this num- Der 274,s99 were found to be nonpro- ductive
 About S1 per cent of all the poultry in the country Is cared for my women. For that reason special attention is given to poultry by the home clubs supervised by the department of agri- culture and the state colleges, and farm women are taught best methods of poultry selection, breeding. raising, feeding. housing, culling, canning sur plus birds for home use, preservation of eggs, and cooperative selling of poultry products
 Lack of proper culling thus far has proved to be, in the majority of cases, the principal reason why a flock is not profitable. Forty per cent of the hens in the average farm flock today are nonproductive, and should be sold or eaten. It costs hbout s2 a year to feed each hen. If she does not produce more than that amount in eggs she is unprofitableL

SWEET CLOVER GAINS FAVOR
Enables Farmer to Grow Regular Crop and Then Secure Manure Crop
 to Flow Under.

The problem of the farmer has been to find crop that was legume to take the place of clover when it fails. With sweet clover it will be possible to grow a regular crop on the soil and then secure a heavy green manure crop the same year to blow under. Much of the future policy of farming depends upon a cheap supply of nitro gen to build up that lost from the soil by cropping, and nQ other crop has given so much promise as the new an' nual sweet clover.

OBTAINING PROFITS IN PIGS
More Money Made in Maturing Animal Early Than Otherwise-Sklmpy
 Feed Is Wastefui.

Profit comes not in how little we can keep the pig on, but in how much we can get him to eat of a balanced ration. The younger the animal the more thoroughly it digests its food. Therefore, mature pigs early. The six months 200-pound pig costs one-half the 2O0-pound eighteen months pig.

LEGION OPPOSES
JAP IMMIGRATION
Exclusion of ''Picture Brides"
and Annulment of Agree
ment" Is Sought

Cleveland Ohio. w Galbraith
Jr. of Cincinnati was elected national
commander of the American Legion
Wednesday at the closing session of
it's second annual convention.
The passing of a resolution placing
the American Legion on record as
being in favor of a rigorous exclusion
of Japanese as immigrants, cancella-
ton of the so-called "gentlemans
agreement with Japan, the exclusion
of picture brides" and the decision
of the convention to continue its policy
OF "strict neutrality" in regard to poll
teal questions, were the predominant
ing questions acted upon.
''And that we enter a vigorous pro
test against the demand of Japan that
naturalization rights be granted to its
nationals now located in the United
States, and that we earnestly request
the State Department of the United
States in it's settlement of this ques-
ton not to consider any proposition
which will grant rights of naturaliZa-
ton to this unassimilable people,"
On recommendation of the Ameri-
caniZation and pro-American work
committee the convention voted that
the national Americanism commission
be adequately financed that its activi-
ties be concentrated on a nationwide
educational, Americanization and pro
paganda work, and that its offices be
moved from New York to Indianapolis.
Other outstanding features of the
report adopted by the convention
were:
Urging a congressional study of
labor needs in Hawaii in view Of the
need for adequate supply with Japan
csc immigration cut off.
Urging legion posts to see that all
members of the legion qualify for and
exercise the right suffrage.
Favoring many Americanism activi-
ties, including work for and among
immigrants, for school children and
among aliens within the United States.
The new national commander was
born In Watertown Arsena, Massachu-
sets, on May 6, 1874. He was commits
stoned major in the First Infantry,
Ohio National Guard, in 1916, and the
same year was promoted to colonel.
He was assigned to command through
out the war.

the new severance tax law on the nat
ural resources of Ouachita parish and

forms of timber, turpentine and other
forest products, sulphur, stone, sand
and other natural resources. The tax
applicable on these natural resources

Mr.. Cornish and his assistants that
this tax will produce for the state OF
Louisiana the sum OF three million

that almost every industry that comes
under this law in the state is to be
found In Ouachita parish and that this
speaks well for the industrial develop
ment ofthis field.

least seven and one-half million dol
lars will be expended in the erection
or new factories for the manufacture
OF carbon black and gasoline In the
large Monroe gas field. Plans are al

such plants in this field and the ex-
penditure of the sum named above.
