BROODY HEN MUST Il

Broody hens are useless the re-

close to the half dollar mark. A

Smith, chief of the division of poultry
hnsbandry at University farm, lis OF
questionable value as a layer ano
ordinarily should be culled out OF the
flock and marketed, but the broody
hen should be made to lay.
"Breaking the spell Of broodiness
is not difficult process, although
many make hard work of IT.. r.. All
unnatural processes are unnecessary
as are processes which make the
hen uncomfortable,4t to say nothing OF
the methods that. torture the b1ddy
which are not a bit short of criminal.
"All that is necessary to do is to
provide comfortable quarters i In
which there is no place to set, nests
and all floor litter having been re-
moved: feed a variety, including q
plentiful supply of green food and
supply clean, cool water. II the hen
is placed in these quarters 1mme-
diately upon showing the hrst signs
of broodiness, she may be returned
to the original flock in a week or
even, less. She should lay again In
two weeks or less. -. .' -.
"a good laying flock should be
yielding about 40 to 50 per cent at
this season. If the yield of the flock
folls below that percentage. 1t may
be largely because too many fowls
are allowed to remain broody too
long a time. y !"
1s ''Farmers should not discontinue
the feeding of laying mash~fn summer
if they want to benefit from the pre-
sent high prices of eggs. Such "a
practice means a loss in production
and cash."

of lumber products of high quality,
particularly of hardwoods, which al
ready is critical for many American
industries, the shrinking production
of turpentine and rosin in the South
ern pineries, and the necessity OF i'm
porting two-thirds of the newsprint
which the United States requires.
Timber depletion has not resulted
from the use of our forests, but FROM
their devastation. There are A63 oeo
600 acres of forest land of all classes
in the United States, including bureRd
culled and cut-over. Of this amount
81 .OOO, 900 acres is an uuproductive
waste. Upon enormous additional a.
reas the growth is so small in amount
or of such inferior character that its
economic value is negligible. These
forest lands will produce the timber
required by the country if they are
kept at work full time growing trees.
But unless timber growth takes the
place of devastation from forest fires
and destructive methods of cutting,
our consumption Of lumber must
drop to the level of European ccun-
iris. where wood is an imported lux
ury."
No Great Lumber Monopoly
The Secretary advised the Senate
that there had been no marked change
in the concentration of timber owner
ship during the last 10 years. About
$50 large owners control half the pri
vate timber in the United States. Ths

lumber stocks were short and the saw
mills unable to respond rapidly with

remain that three-fifths Of the origi-
nal timber of the United States Is

times as fast as we are growing it;
and that nearly two thirds Of the tim
ber left is west of the Great Plains,
where its availability to the average

Eastern States Fail to Meet Needs
The Forest Service estimates that
2,215, ,O00, ,00O feet Of timber is left IN
the Unites States. Neverless, the bulA
of its population and industries are
handicapped by the exhaustion OF thu
forest regions which formerly sup

eighth of her original timber. New
York manufacturers about one-tenth
of the lumber required by her own
population. The present lum,> ar cut
of Pennsylvania is less than the whole
amount consumed in the Pittsburg
district alone. The States on the
Great Lakes, which for 80 years sup
piled most of the eastern and central
regions with softwood lumber, now
cut less than one-eighth of their for
! mer production, and are themselves
importing softwoods from the Pa
cific Coast. The cut Of Southern pine,
the standard lumber of the East for
the last fifteen years, is now falling

The Secretary of Agriculture point

East and its concentration in q

car shortages, above troubles, and bac
